Myanmar Military Court Sentences Anti-Junta Activists to 37 Years Over Election Boycott

A military court in Mandalay, Myanmar, sentenced nine anti-junta activists to up to 37 years in prison on July 28, 2026, for their roles in an election boycott protest. Prominent organizer Htet Myat Aung was among those convicted under sweeping electoral and counterterrorism laws. The harsh sentencing, reported on July 29, is viewed by international observers as a move to silence peaceful dissent and solidify military control following a widely criticized and unrepresentative election cycle.
