more than $500.00. let's bring in phil robertson in bangkok he's the deputy director of human rights watch. the asia division thank you for your time so as we said there are people have disappeared forcibly disappeared hundreds of them since the beginning of this coup what is human rights watch found else well what we're finding is that people are being taken away at night often when the internet is shut off people are you know obviously seen being taken away but there's no real clarity on who is taking them and then relatives as they seek to find where their loved one has been taken can get no answers and there's no formal notification a lot of times what we're seeing is sort of pass the buck mentality where the relatives go to this police bureau and they say we don't have and maybe the other police bureau and oh no maybe the military is going to mean it's a it's a game of trying to shuffle the relatives around while giving no answers obviously

it's an attempt to foster a climate of fear or do you think has happened or will happen to these people who've been taken well in communities incommunicado detention in myanmar often results in torture and we have seen cases of people badly tortured in some cases tortured to death so we fear the worst for many of these people were concerned that the longer they're held without access to their families and without access to lawyers without any acknowledgement in fact that the authorities even have them means that it's more likely they will face torture and other abuses while in detention. be it's been over 2 months since the coup over that time we've seen an increasing crackdown it's become very violent we've seen a significant number of children now found to be among those killed by security forces in me in ma is there anything more that could happen that would get the

international community to accept mean these are horrific stories. well we need the unicef and the other groups that are working on child rights issues to really step up and be very vocal about this i mean the types of killings that we're seeing in some cases the military or the police or simply going into neighborhoods and and shooting up the neighborhood or barging into houses and shooting at anybody who's in there including the case of the young 6 year old girl who died in her father's arms in other cases we have of course children you know 16 year olds 17 year olds who are out on the protest lines you know trying to do what they can to defend their neighborhoods against these incursions by armed police and military you know there has to be a recognition that there is a responsibility by the international community to really hold accountable the military for these actions that they've taken against children or i'll have to leave it there thank you for your time phil robertson there. in bangkok thank you.
