Description:
"1. The National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) is deeply saddened by the
death of at least (13) civilians, including (7) children, on September 16 as a
result of the heinous air and ground attacks and killings by the militaryjunta
on residents of a self-supporting school in Let Yet Kone village in Depayin
township in Sagaing region. In addition, approximately (20) injured students
and teachers have been arbitrarily arrested.
2. Children are the country's future; it is completely unacceptable that
the military terrorist group is killing, torturing, and arresting our children in
cold blood for their own benefit This is not the first time the military junta
committed atrocities. The military junta is an inhumane and ferocious
mercenary army that has targeted and murdered all religions and ethnicities
that opposed them, including children, s ince Myanmar gained independence,
through more than (70) years of civil war.
3. This is because the law grants them total impunity from all the injustices
they have committed.
4. Therefore, the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) would like to make
the following request to the entire public and all the revolutionary forces:
(a) The entire public should rise up and continue to resist where it is able to
in order to prevent the injustices from continuing.
(b) With the common aim of achieving a Myanmar free from military
dictatorship, revolutionary forces should maintain its strong unity and
continue resisting together in the revolution.
(c) The international community should support the process of seeking
accountability of the military junta that has blatantly violated
international humanitarian law; it should bring justice for victims
through international legal mechanisms and help end impunity.
(d) Enforce a comprehensive arms embargo, including on the supply of jet
fuel.
(e) The international community should provide humanitarian aid.
5. The National Unity Consultative Council is deeply Condemned this brutal
attack and will continue in its efforts to ensure that all the above-mentioned
actions are implemented..."
