Joint Statement – Urging International Governments to Take Immediate and Effective Actions Against the Myanmar Junta, which plans to hold sham elections, ongoing War Crimes, the Bombing of Mrauk-U Public Hospital on Human Rights Day
JOINT STATEMENT
On December 10, 2025, International Human Rights Day, at approximately 9:00 PM, the illegal and terrorist military junta, which is set to hold a sham election on December 28, launched an airstrike on the Mrauk-U Public Hospital in Rakhine State. Two high-explosive 500-pound bombs were dropped; one made a direct hit on the hospital, while the other exploded directly in front of the building.
This atrocity resulted in the deaths of at least 33 civilians, including healthcare workers and a 3-month-old infant, while 77 others sustained injuries. Furthermore, the junta continues to perpetrate war crimes across seven townships in Rakhine State. This includes a bombing on Nga / Lone Su Village in Kyaukphyu Township at 7:00 PM on December 11, which killed at least 8 civilians and injured 10 others.
We urgently call on ASEAN, the UN, the EU, and international governments to go beyond merely issuing statements of condemnation. To stop the illegal Myanmar military junta’s acts of terrorism and war crimes, and to ensure justice and accountability for the atrocities committed, the international community must take the following effective and punitive actions immediately.
1. The International community must immediately block and terminate all direct and indirect involvement in the export, sale and transfer or distribution of aviation fuel to Myanmar. Furthermore, effective sanctions must be imposed on all international and ASEAN-based companies and corporations involved in the aviation fuel supply chain.
2. International Governments, especially the UK Government, must ban providing shipment insurance services to vessels and infrastructure (Ports, storage tanks, or pipelines) involved in the delivery of aviation fuel to Myanmar.
3. The military junta is able to sustain its relentless airstrikes because it can purchase aircraft and weaponry from authoritarian allies such as Russia, China, and Belarus. To cut off this funding, Thailand’s state-owned PTTEP must immediately stop paying millions of dollars in monthly gas revenues to the illegal junta. These public oil and gas revenues must instead be redirected into protected Escrow Accounts to prevent the illegal junta from accessing and utilising these funds to commit atrocities.
4. The international community must act in unity to impose punitive measures and end the impunity of the Myanmar military junta, which is attempting to force a sham election through threats of violence, arrests, and at gunpoint. All global governments must take collective action to immediately stop the junta’s deliberate war crimes against civilian targets and hold them accountable for their ongoing atrocities.
We stand united in our revolution against the war criminal Min Aung Hlaing and the terrorist military junta. We share the pain of every victim of these atrocities and pledge our unwavering mutual support. We solemnly resolve to continue our struggle until every form of dictatorship, including the military dictatorship, is completely uprooted and abolished.
In Solidarity,
The People and Organisations, Local, Regional (ASEAN), and International who seek Justice and are Fighting for the Fall of Dictatorship
