A License to Torture ? Acknowledgement Myanmar, previously known as Burma, has been ruled by various military juntas and leaders since 1958. It is undeniable that their dictatorship system and centralized governance have been threatened inhumanely and unjustly on the civilians for over six decades in Myanmar. Although Myanmar military juntas and leaders had conducted arbitrary arrest and torture on the people, the widespread use of weapons, war crime, massacre, genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and inhuman acts against innocent people, they have been unpunished until this era. Furthermore, these military juntas and leaders shamefully testified that they did not commit crimes or violations in front of the international news media, representatives, and communities. Moreover, they shamelessly stated that there were no political prisoners in Myanmar and they also accused all political prisoners as criminals and bad people. Subsequently, different military juntas and leaders were told that they did not commit any torture on the prisoners. However, in this contemporary world, the International Communities are supporting and standing together with Myanmar people, and they are also not accepting the illogical lies and propaganda of the Myanmar military junta and its councils. Since February 2021, civilians have protested peacefully for justice and democracy because the military junta has attempted the coup. However, the military junta conducted extra-judicial suppression, killing, forced disappearance, arbitrary arrest, and torture on peaceful protesters and innocent people in the different states and regions in Myanmar. On February 12, 2021, with order No. 59/2021, the Myanmar junta and its military council pardoned 2334 prisoners who were imprisoned for crimes before 2021. On February 13, 2021, the military junta and its councils suspended the Freedom of Citizens and Security Act. Furthermore, they changed and controlled the local administration system to oppress and control civilians and peaceful protests. This is how the Myanmar military junta and its councils have systematically and purposefully committed forceful arrests, tortures, and horrific killings. This critical situation has worsened daily in Myanmar. The International Communities also condemned the war crimes, crimes against humanity and human rights violations of the Myanmar military junta, while many investigations have been conducted on justice and accountability. Significantly, it includes the efforts of a lawsuit led by the Myanmar Accountability Project at the prosecutor’s Office in Istanbul, Turkey, for the allegation and abuses committed at the Ye Kyi Aik detention center. 5 Equality Myanmar
