๐๐ 1. CRPH and NUG Labor Ministry Officials Deliver Words of Encouragement to Myanmar Migrant Workers at AAC Shelter
March 9
U Ukkar Min, Chairman of the Labor Affairs Committee of the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), and U Naing Htun Oo, Director of the Ministry of Labor under the National Unity Government (NUG), met with Myanmar migrant workers at the AAC Alliance Shelter to provide encouragement, according to U Khine Kyi, Director of the AAC Alliance.
U Ukkar Min and U Naing Htun Oo visited the AAC Alliance Shelter on March 8 to deliver messages of support to the workers, he said.
During their visit to the now-closed shelter, the two officials spoke with disabled workers, amputees, and those awaiting compensation for workplace deaths. They offered words of comfort and support while also providing essential supplies and donations, according to sources.
The AAC Shelter was established on July 27, 2016, and at that time, officials from Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) even assisted in opening its office. However, Thai authorities have now ordered the shelter to be permanently shut down by February 28 of this year.
Despite the closure, authorities have not provided relocation arrangements for injured workers housed in the shelter. Moreover, local authorities reportedly cut off the water supply to the shelter’s office on February 28.
Given the circumstances, the AAC Alliance has filed an appeal to keep the shelter open, citing its role in supporting and protecting migrant workers for over ten years.

๐๐ 2. CDM Success Committee Calls for Security Measures for Civil Servants Operating in Resistance-Controlled Areas
March 9
The CDM Success Committee has urged relevant organizations to ensure the security of Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) civil servants who are working in territories controlled by revolutionary forces.
The call was made in a statement issued on March 8, marking the fourth anniversary of the nonviolent resistance movement against military rule. The CDM Success Committee, chaired by the Prime Minister of the National Unity Government (NUG), emphasized the need for both physical and psychological security for CDM civil servants who have taken part in the revolution.
The statement also called for justice and accountability for CDM members who have been unjustly arrested, tortured, or killed. It stressed the need to end impunity for perpetrators and urged relevant organizations to ensure justice and truth prevail.
CDM civil servants have not only refused to work under the military regime but have also actively contributed to the revolution by collaborating with local resistance forces, ethnic organizations, and the public. They have played key roles in various sectors, including armed resistance, public services, interim administration, and humanitarian efforts, according to the committee.
However, many CDM civil servants working in resistance-controlled areas face severe threats from the junta, including airstrikes, arrests, torture, and executions. Their safety and security remain a major concern, the committee warned.
The CDM Success Committee reaffirmed its commitment to working alongside all ethnic groups to completely dismantle the military dictatorship and establish a genuine federal democratic union.
Over the past four years, CDM civil servants have sacrificed their positions, titles, and benefits in defiance of the coup. As a result, both CDM members and their families have faced significant hardships, including security threats, health concerns, and economic difficulties.
