"KNPP expresses its deepest condolences for the passing of Khun Htun Oo, former Chairman of Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), who passed away on April 30, 2022 at the age of 79. Khun Htun Oo was a champion in the fight for equality, self-determination, and federal democracy in Burma. Losing Khun Htun Oo is a great loss not only for the SNLD but also for the Shan, Karenni and other peoples in Burma who strive for the noble causes he championed. Together with Khun Htun Oo’s family, members of SNLD, Shan nationals, and those who have worked with Khun Htun Oo for liberation from tyranny and the establishment of a federal democratic union, we, the KNPP, mourns the loss of such a great and irreplaceable leader..... Headquarters..... Karenni National Progressive Party..."
