Description:
"1. Fascist Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) forcefully robbed the sovereign power of Myanmar
since the coup on February 1. Many strong evidences show that they have been
committing hideous crimes against humanity since then.
2. Fascist Myanmar military has intensified raids in cities and villages and arrested
unlawfully, tortured and killed many innocent local people with no restraints. Moreover,
evidences show that the military has increased their terrifying crimes and even set a
whole village on fire time and again.
3. Fascist Myanmar military recently cuts off telephone lines and internet in many townships
and areas around the country and also plans to cut off more areas; they are clearly
violating the right to information. The unlawful arrests, tortures and killings of villagers
under the "Area cleaning" program imply that the military regard the local people as
enemy and the cities and villages as battle fields.
4. Fascist Myanmar military has launched offensive attacks in ethic regions, committed
crimes against humanity under the program of "Area cleaning", and committed planned
genocide on minority ethnic groups for decades. Reflection on the recent incidents
happened around the country including Chin State, Sagaing Region and Yaw area indicate
that the military is planning to commit similar crimes again across the country.
5. When the fascist military committed the hideous crimes against Rohingya and destroyed
villages by setting them on fire, which caused hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to
abandoned their homes and ran for their lives, and when the fascist military launched
offensive attacks with disproportioned forces in ethnic regions, they had cut off the
internet and telephone lines in those areas to cause news blackout on their crimes of
setting villages on fire, arresting and torturing of villagers and killings the masses.
6. Fascist Myanmar military launched airstrikes on defenseless villages, set many villages on
fire, killed mass number of villagers, and looted local people's properties across the
country especially in Chin State, Chindwin river delta area and Northwest plain region in
Sagaing Region, and Yaw area in Magway Region under the "Area cleaning" program.
Cutting off internet and telephone lines to create news blackout in these areas are the
first step of their future plans on committing more crimes.
7. Fascist Myanmar military uses disproportionate forces in their offensive attacks in ethic
regions, Sagaing Region, Chindwin river delta region and Yaw region; these attacks will
lead to major humanitarian crisis as millions of people will be forced to abandon their
homes and villages and become Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
8. If we cannot prevent further crimes against humanity such as offensive attacks of the
Myanmar military led by Min Aung Hlaing using disproportionate forces and brazen
violations of international laws and human rights, the appalling stories like the recent
Rohingya genocide incidents and violent repressions in ethnic regions will repeat across
the country.
9. Thus, we urge all the stakeholders including National Unity Government (NUG),
revolution forces, and Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) to formulate necessary plans
and implement these effectively and promptly to help protect the lives of civilians.
10. Myanmar will be ungovernable by the military council led by Min Aung Hlaing and the
military's violent repressions will spread instability to the neighboring countries and
threaten the regional peace. Thus, to prevent the potential humanitarian crisis spreading
to the regional countries as many civilians will flee to the neighboring countries to escape
the unlawful repression of the fascist military, we earnestly request the international
community including the United Nations, neighboring countries, and ASEAN to stop the
fascist military's offensive attacks, to stop the military council administration and return
to democracy, to be accountable for their crimes by pressuring the military council in all
possible ways and by increasing the contact with the NUG, who represent the Myanmar
people, and providing more effective support to the NUG.
11. Myanmar people will never accept the military council's governance and the people will
keep on fighting against the military until we can put a stop to all the inhumane terrorism
of fascist Myanmar military and end the military dictatorship. We will use all measures
tomake the fascist Myanmar military accountable for their crimes and to develop and
instill federal democracy in Myanmar..."
