door trials (Human Rights Watch 2022). UNHR (2022) reported that close to 1,700 detainees of the nearly 16,500 who have been arrested for opposing the military coup have been tried and convicted in these secret ad hoc tribunals. Furthermore, as of 24 May 2022, Myanmar is thought to be holding at least two individuals on death row for crimes committed under the age of 18 (one of only three countries) (Amnesty International 2021). Myanmar’s sudden increase in executions seems at odd with it’s 2022 vote in favour of a moratorium on use of the death penalty at the UN General Assembly, especially having abstained from voting on the matter in the previous three assemblies (World Coalition Against the Death Penalty 2022). Foreign Nationals Myanmar’s position within ‘the Golden Triangle’, where over one-quarter of the world’s heroin is produced, and the UN Of ce on Drugs and Crime report that the cultivation of opium poppies has increased every year since 2006 (Mayberry 2015) mean foreign nationals can be caught working as drug mules in Myanmar. There are reports of foreign nationals, including from China and Nepal on death row for drug offences in Myanmar. Harm Reduction International (2022) note that Myanmar was the only retentionist country for drug offences to change its position in favour of a moratorium on the use of the death penalty for drug offences at the UNGA in 2022. Those awaiting execution for drug-related crimes have been reported in the past in Myanmar, but mass pardons and commutations regularly occur. Reliable data on foreign nationals on death row in Myanmar is hard to come by, although Myanmar’s military coup in February 2021 saw thousands of foreign nationals jailed. In 2022, state media announced that foreign nationals were to be among the nearly 6,000 to be freed in a so-called amnesty on Myanmar National Day.
