Condemnation on the burning alive of over 35 innocent Karenni civilians by the SAC's troops

Description: 

"1. We, the KNPP. strongly condemn the SAC troops' burning alive of over 35 Karenni civilians; including women, children, and an INGO staff members; who had managed to escape from nearby fighting. On December 24, 2021, after arresting and beating the civilians, the SAC troops from LIB No. 108 under command of Division 66 splashed them with gasoline and burned them alive on trucks near Mosoe Village, Pruhso Township. They also burned the Chilians' vehicles. 2. Additionally, four men from the Border Guard Force of Karenni Nationalities Peoples' Liberation Front, who jumped in to negotiate for releasing the civilians, were tied with their hands behind their backs and shot in their heads by the SAC's gunmen. 3. Both cases obviously prove that the SAC's army is both violating the international norms in war and also intentionally committing crimes against humanity. 4. Therefore, we urge the international governments and communities, including the United Nations, to abruptly isolate the SAC by taking strong actions against them without delay..."
