Statement of Patriotic Myanmar Monks' Union on the Matter regarding the Action of Rakhine Insurgents of AA Terrorist Group who Killed Prisoners of War by Cutting Throats

Todays, Myanmar is facing varieties of conflicts. The reason is that armed insurgents have instigated and fueled to break out the battles. Local residents were displaced by the armed conflicts occurring in the region and they moved to another place. Rakhine people who oppose AA terrorists also left their homes and moved to Yangon. Under the circumstance, Myanmar people also give them a helping hand.

Among the armed insurgent groups, the AA Rakhine insurgent group is the most heinous one. They cut throats of the Tatmadaw personnel, who showed the white flag because of sympathy towards Rakhine locals, after digging down into the soil. The AA insurgents also took video recording of cutting throats of prisoners of war and circulated on social media platforms via online. After they blew up the vessel carrying Tatmadaw personnel, police members and families, they mercilessly killed women and children sunk in the water. The action of AA constitutes war crime as they violated the provisions of Geneva Conventions.

The Patriotic Myanmar Monks' Union issued a statement on 28 December stating that: political parties, associations and religious leaders should condemn the Rakhine insurgents of AA terrorist group which has violated Geneva Conventions and committed war crime; the State Administration Council Government should do as quickly as possible to protect peaceable people and monks from the attack of such armed insurgent group. The Patriotic Myanmar Monks’ Union is strongly opposed to and condemn: the terrorist groups for carrying out to get Myanmar bogged down in the military quagmire; some locals who are making attempts to build Rakhine nation after secession from Myanmar; and the inhumane action of Rakhine insurgents of AA group who are committing war crime without any humanitarian behaviours, reports say.
