๐๐ 4. Terrorist Military Targeting Hospitals and Schools with Airstrikes; CDM Surgeon Urges Public Resistance
May 12
Radio NUG
The terrorist military junta has been deliberately targeting hospitals and schools, conducting airstrikes and bombings, prompting a CDM (Civil Disobedience Movement) senior surgeon to call for public resistance through a message on social media.
Dr. Soe Min, a surgeon participating in the CDM, wrote:
“While children were sitting their exams in Depayin, bombs were dropped. All the victims were schoolchildren. What is truly heartbreaking is that no one is stopping or opposing such acts—and people seem able to live as if they are unaware of what's happening.
Since April 22, apart from personal matters like obituaries, I’ve been relentlessly posting about every single airstrike attack occurring in Myanmar to spread awareness globally. This is not a cry of fear—it is to make sure the world sees who is responsible for these atrocities.
Don’t you have Air Force officers among your own families? Where are they now? What are they doing?
If you don’t know, I’ll tell you:
They are the ones relentlessly dropping bombs—on hospitals and schools.”
