Myanmar, a lost generation amidst arrests and disappearances

BANGKOK – When darkness falls and the curfew begins, cooking pots start ringing in protest from the homes of Yangon as in many other cities in Myanmar. But immediately after a silence falls that is made of anxiety and terror.

Of the 3,500 arrests made since the beginning of the coup on February 1, an unspecified, incalculable number, but in the hundreds, literally disappeared after the night armed raids on their families’ homes.
