UN warns Myanmar human rights hit new low amid illegal mining and scam centres

The UN has warned that human rights in Myanmar have reached a new low, driven by illegal mining operations and sprawling scam centres operating under the military junta's rule. The junta seized power in a 2021 coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government, plunging the country into a prolonged humanitarian crisis. The situation has continued to deteriorate since then.
