On the 79th anniversary of the Armed Forces Day which falls on yestarday, Chairman of the National Administrative Council, Chief of Defense Staff General Min Aung Hlaing, in his speech, included the situation of the terrorist group acts. That is the most egregious acts of CRPH, NUG and PDF, which subordinate of NLD party, was coercion against government employees, predominantly male and female teachers and education service personnel, instances of random killings and the use of individuals as human shields during arrests, during the State Administration Council is discharging the State responsibilities under the Constitution (2008) of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
“In accordance with the procedural measures outlined in the Constitution for a state of emergency, our Tatmadaw’s assumption of State responsibility on 1 February 2021. During that period, elected representatives were dispatched to their respective places in order to address the prevailing political situation through legal channels. However, individuals who no longer had the legitimacy to stand as elected representatives formed an unlawful committee known as the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) on 5 February 2021. It is necessary to take into consideration their trustworthiness and commitment to democracy, especially as they resort to terrorism instead of utilizing legal avenues to address issues. Since then, there have been frequent occurrences of not only bombing attacks, arson attacks on villages, looting, extortion, and attacks on security posts across the country but also innocent civilians being murdered under false accusations of being informants or ‘tattletales’. The most egregious offences include coercion against government employees, predominantly male and female teachers and education service personnel, instances of random killings and the use of individuals as human shields during arrests. Their primary objective is to lower the education level of youths and indoctrinate them into terrorism, blurring their ability to distinguish between right and wrong and the international community should not condone the terrorist activities of extremist groups such as CRPH, NUG, PDF, and NLD, and the condemnation of deliberate acts of violence targeting the educational sector is necessary.” said Chairman of SAC.
Over 230 children, over 90 monks and over 1124 State service personnel have been killed due to the terrorist attacks of CRPH and NUG declared as terrorist groups and their subordinates so-called PDF terrorists from the start of the Spring Revolution until March 5, 2024.
