SHAN STATE – On February 15th, the Pa-O National Liberation Organization (PNLO/PNLA) issued a statement saying that Pa-O youths are urged to clearly oppose to the conscription law of the terrorist military council and invited to join the PNLO/PNLA.
The announcement also stated ” the entire Pa-O people and the Pa-O youths to not bow their heads to injustice, just as the oppressed people across the country are clearly opposing the military conscription law that was unjustly enacted by the terrorist army.”
The terrorist army has faced losses in wars during the 3-year coup d’état, and its strength has been crippled. So, on February 10th, 2024, after the illegal enactment of the compulsory military service law, the central body for military conscription was also formed at the same time. In order to operate and survive the military dictatorship, the people of the whole country are divided based on ethnic groups and religions, and they are constantly inciting religious delusion to cover up their war crimes. The PNLO/PNLA’s statement stated that they are working with the aim of making the authoritarian system sustainable and destroying the democratic system.
The PNLO/PNLA’s statement stated that “The patriotic Pa-O youths are also urged to avoid actions that will protect the interests of a group of people and prolong the life of the authoritarian system that harms the Pa-O people. They are invited to come and join the Pa-O National Liberation League (PNLO/PNLA) and carry out their revolutionary responsibilities, taking it as a historic responsibility in the process of liberating Pa-O people from oppressed lives.”
