Today we mourn the loss of these citizens of Myanmar and stand in solidarity with their families. They were men, women, and children who posed no threat to the Myanmar military.
The military continues its mindless war on our country’s own people. Their sole aim is to consolidate power through death and destruction. They will not succeed. We will continue our fight for a new Myanmar. Our goal is a Myanmar in which such atrocities cannot occur and where power derives from the will of the people, not force of arms.
We call for condemnation of this senseless massacre. We ask our neighbors and ASEAN for immediate assistance with humanitarian aid to this region and the other regions of Myanmar, where 1.8 million people are already displaced.”
