The essentials
Amnesty's 2025 report details violations across Iran, Myanmar, Sudan, and Gaza conflict zones.
Amnesty International's 2025 report details systematic human rights violations across multiple regions. Iranian security forces killed protesters during a major crackdown in January 2026. In Myanmar, military forces deployed powered paragliders to drop explosives on villages, targeting civilian areas.
Sudan's conflict intensified as the Rapid Support Forces took El-Facher following an 18-month siege in October. Meanwhile, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza in October, though military operations continued during negotiations.
The report documents how conflicts have created widespread civilian harm through direct attacks, sieges, and military tactics affecting non-combatants. These incidents represent patterns documented by human rights monitors operating across conflict regions.

Report Identifies Common Tactics in Diverse Conflict Regions
The documented violations reveal recurring patterns across geographically distinct conflicts. Aerial bombardment targeting civilian areas appears in Myanmar, while siege warfare causing mass displacement characterizes Sudan's conflict. Security force responses to civil unrest and military operations amid negotiated ceasefires demonstrate how violations occur across different conflict types and governance contexts.
Violations Span Civil Unrest, Military Sieges, and Active Warfare
The report encompasses violations across multiple conflict stages: state crackdowns on domestic protests, armed group military offensives, and ongoing international conflicts. These incidents affect populations through direct violence, displacement, and prolonged insecurity. The geographic breadth—from Iran to Myanmar to Sudan to Gaza—indicates violations persist despite international attention to human rights standards.
