Before 25 July 2022, Myanmar was considered "abolitionist in practice,"[1] meaning a country has not executed anyone in the past ten years or more and is believed to have an established practice or policy against carrying out executions.
[2][1] In July 2022, four democratic activists, including Zayar Thaw and Kyaw Min Yu, were executed.
Myanmar abstained from voting regarding the 2020 United Nations moratorium on the death penalty.
This was a significant increase on previous years; Amnesty International credits this to the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, and the subsequent martial law since February of that year.
