Myanmar’s military regime executed on September 23, 2024 two anti-coup activists, rights groups have said.
Maung Kaung Htet and his wife Chan Myae Thu were executed at 4am Myanmar time (21:30 GMT) on September 23, the Women’s Peace Network said in a statement on September 23.
Chan Myae Thu is the first woman to be executed since Myanmar's military overthrew the country's democratically-elected government in February 2021, according to a statement from the Women's Peace Network.
The pair were convicted “without due process and a fair trial” over their alleged involvement in a parcel bomb attack on Yangon’s Insein Prison in October 2022, the rights group said.

20 February 2024 :

Myanmar's junta has sentenced to death three brigadier generals who surrendered with hundreds of troops and handed over a strategic town on the Chinese border to ethnic minority fighters last month, military sources told AFP on February 19, 2024.
"Three brigadier generals including the commander of Laukkai town were given the death sentence," a military source told AFP on condition of anonymity, as they were not authorised to talk to the media. 
Another military source confirmed the sentencing.
Hundreds of troops surrendered in Laukkai in northern Shan state to the so-called Three Brotherhood Alliance in January following months of fighting.
The surrender, one of the biggest losses for the military in decades, sparked rare public criticism of the junta by its supporters as it struggles to crush opposition to its 2021 coup.
Following the surrender, the officers and their troops were allowed to leave the area.
The two sources contacted by AFP did not give details on when the verdict had been given.
A military spokesman confirmed to AFP last month that the three brigadier generals were in military custody.
Under Myanmar's military law, leaving a post without permission can be punished by the death penalty. 
A junta spokesman could not be reached for comment.

24 January 2024 :

Myanmar’s regime on January 20, 2024 handed death sentences to three brigadier generals who surrendered to the Brotherhood Alliance at Laukkai in northern Shan State. Three other brigadier generals were jailed for life, according to junta sources.
On January 4, almost 2,400 regime troops, including more than 200 officers surrendered to the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) in Kokang on the Chinese border.
The MNDAA sent the soldiers and around 1,600 relatives back to the regime.
Brigadier General Moe Kyaw Thu, the Laukkai headquarters chief, Brigadier General Tun Tun Myint, the acting chief of Kokang Self-Administered Zone, and Brigadier General Zaw Myo Win, the Division 55 commander, were given death sentences, according to junta sources.
The three are reportedly being held at Insein Prison in Yangon.
Brigadier General Aye Min Oo, Brigadier General Thaw Zin Oo and Brigadier General Aung Zaw Lin, the chiefs of Operation Centers 14, 16 and 12 respectively, were reportedly jailed for life.
All six generals were charged under military law for “shamefully abandoning” their positions.
Former army captain Kaung Thu Win, who joined the civil disobedience movement after the coup, told The Irrawaddy: “The military used to impose death penalties on soldiers who abandoned their posts.
“Junta boss Min Aung Hlaing will have no patience for generals who surrendered bases, especially large command headquarters.”
He said the harsh penalties were intended to deter other commanders from surrendering their strongholds.
Following the Laukkai defeat, Min Aung Hlaing faced calls to resign from among his supporters.
Many junta cheerleaders blamed Min Aung Hlaing’s incompetence, selfishness and lack of backbone, accusing him of guiding a military once considered invincible into a state of inconsolable shame and desperation.
Laukkai was the largest defeat for the junta since the 2021 coup.
At the time junta spokesman Major General Zaw Min Tun told the pro-regime Popular News Journal that the priorities were the safety of regime personnel and their families and relations with China.
The Brotherhood Alliance, which also includes the Arakan Army and Ta’ang National Liberation Army, launched Operation 1027 across northern Shan State on October 27 last year.
The alliance has seized over 500 junta bases, including several headquarters, about 17 towns and vital trade routes with China across northern Shan State.

Myanmar’s military junta on February 29, 2024 sentenced seven people to death – five of them for the second or third time.
The seven – Thura Phyo,  Tun Tun Oo, Kyaw San Oo, Ko Ko Aung, Aung Moe Myint, Win Myat Thein Zaw and  Kaung Si Thu – were convicted of murdering two women from the Ayeyarwady region’s Pyapon township, who they believed were junta informants, sources familiar with the situation told RFA Burmese.
Five of the seven had already been sentenced to death on Oct. 20, along with two other defendants, San Lin San and Wunna Tun, the latter of whom has been sentenced to death twice himself. That case was over the killing of ward administrators in Maubin, Pyapon and Bogale townships.
But four of those five had been involved in an even earlier case, meaning they have now received the death penalty three times.
In addition, the defendants in all three cases received prison sentences ranging from 15 to 45 years.
Imposing multiple sentences is unprecedented in Myanmar’s judicial history, lawyer Kyee Myint told RFA. "Only one [death] sentence must be given,” he said. “Sentences should not be imposed again and again. It is against the law.”  
Thike Tun Oo, a leading committee member of the Political Prisoners Network-Myanmar, said that in addition to the repeated death sentences, long-term prison terms are not the fair punishments for the crime. 
"The death penalty should not be imposed on them at all as they have suffered the same penalty,” he said. “In addition, some were sentenced to 45 years after the death penalty. It is a totally unfair sentence.”
Since taking control of the government in a Feb. 1, 2021, coup, the military junta has sentenced a total of 164 people to death, according to the Thailand-based Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.

29 January 2024 :

Myanmar’s military government is denying reports that it sentenced six army generals to death or life imprisonment for their surrender this month of a regional military command headquarters on the border with China to an alliance of ethnic armed groups, AP reported on January 24, 2024.
The generals were the key officers involved in the surrender of the headquarters in Laukkaing, a city in northern Shan state that had been a major target of the Three Brotherhood Alliance comprising the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, the Ta’ang National Liberation Army and the Arakan Army.
Laukkaing’s fall was the biggest defeat suffered by Myanmar’s military government since the alliance’s offensive was launched last October, underlining the pressure the military government is under as it battles pro-democracy guerrillas and other ethnic minority armed groups.
Independent media had reported that the six generals were put under investigation in the capital, Naypyitaw, after Laukkaing’s fall to the alliance. They had been sent back to territory still under the control of the military.
The independent media sympathetic to Myanmar’s anti-military resistance movement, including the online sites of Khit Thit and The Irrawaddy, reported on January 23 that three generals had been sentenced to death and three others to life imprisonment.
But the army’s press office, responding on January 23 to inquiries from journalists, denied the generals had received such sentences, calling the reports untrue.
