The European Union (EU) issued a statement condemning the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) following reports that the MNDAA had executed three of its soldiers on 24 April immediately after a public trial.
Below is the 25 April statement by the EU:
There have been worrisome reports indicating that the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) sentenced to death ten individuals, three of whom may have been executed on 24 April.
The European Union condemns in the strongest terms the use of death penalty and wishes to reaffirm its strong and unequivocal opposition to it, at all times and under all circumstances. Death penalty is an inhuman and degrading punishment that represents an ultimate denial of human dignity.
An effort integral to the aspirations for federal democracy should be to uphold the rule of law in accordance with high international standards.
