25 political parties issue statement condemning terrorists for attacking 100-bed hospital in Lashio

A total of 25 political parties, allegedly representing millions of Myanmar people, including monks, issued a statement on 4 August strongly condemning the inhumane, violent, and brutal acts reportedly committed by the MNDAA, AA, TNLA and their allies in Lashio Township, Shan State (North).
The statement referred to an attack on No 9 Tatmadaw Hospital (100-bed) in Lashio by the armed allies on 2 August, which involved heavy weapons, rockets, drones, as well as small arms, and resulted in doctors, nurses, staff, civilian patients, and children — who are not military targets — being shot at close range, with some patients, including pregnant women, abducted.
The statement described the incident as an inhumane act of violence that intentionally violates the Counter-Terrorism Law, existing laws in the country, and basic human rights as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It also suggests that relevant actions should be taken against the terrorists and their allies according to domestic laws by the government, and according to international law by other governments, which should also impose sanctions after designating them as terrorists. — MNA
