The arrest of Byuhar, a popular rapper in Myanmar who strongly criticized the junta, has caused widespread alarm among his loved ones and fellow artists, reports VOA News.
VOA News quotes Burma Campaign UK: “More than 22,000 people have been detained [since the beginning of the coup], and political prisoners have been subjected to torture and sexual violence after their arrest. For the first time in decades, executions are occurring again. There is no freedom of speech, media outlets are banned or extensively censored, and internet access is restricted or blocked entirely.”
