Christian Ethnic Minorities Offering Prayers
The Karenni Christian community living in the Eastern Myanmar has suffered persecution by the Myanmar military for many years. Since the coup, the military's attacks on ethnic minorities have become increasingly brutal. Why does the Myanmar military target religious sites? Through interviews with military personnel, we hear the voices of the Karenni people offering their prayers.
Gigi, whose husband is a civil servant, had a peaceful life in her home country. Life had completely changed forever after the military coup in 2021. Her husband joined the CDM (Disobedience Movement) and fought against the military dictatorship. One day, plain-clothed police visited their home, and the family, sensing danger, left Myanmar to Thailand. What awaited them there was unfair treatment from the Thai police.

In the wee hours of 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s military staged a coup against the democratic elected government and arbitrarily detained senior government officials, including the head of government, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi. This shocked Myanmar's citizens and plunged them into despair. Citizens then began a large scale of protests.
