๐๐ 1. State and Federal Representative Committees jointly declare that there will be no impunity for the terrorist military junta led by war criminal Min Aung Hlaing and its collaborators
June 29
On June 29, the Representative Committees of State and Federal Unit Parliaments jointly declared that they will never grant impunity to the terrorist military junta led by Min Aung Hlaing, who has committed international crimes, and to its collaborators.
The statement emphasizes that the terrorist junta forcefully seized power from the democratically elected civilian government through an illegal coup. It further highlights that 145 Members of Parliament from the National League for Democracy (NLD) were detained, and several were killed under military custody in interrogation centers, subjected to extrajudicial executions and torture, and denied adequate medical care and nutrition in prisons, resulting in fatalities.
The statement also reports that some individuals were brutally tortured to death without justification while in prison, others were killed outside of prison facilities, some were burned alive, used as human shields, or raped and murdered. Entire villages where civilians reside have been bombed from the air and shelled with heavy and light weaponry. As a result, at least five Members of Parliament have been killed.
The unlawful actions committed by the coup regime constitute flagrant violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, the declaration states.
Accordingly, the statement reiterates that Min Aung Hlaing, who is committing international crimes, along with his terrorist military junta and all collaborators, will not be granted impunity and must be held accountable for the crimes they have committed.
The Representative Committees also expressed grave concern, along with the general public, regarding the health conditions and life-threatening circumstances facing all political prisoners, including Nobel Peace Laureate and State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and President U Win Myint, who continue to be unlawfully detained by the junta.

June 29
According to local reports, authorities apprehended a drug dealer in Wetlet Township, Sagaing Region, in possession of over 30,000 WY methamphetamine tablets.
The arrest took place on June 21 near Shwe Kyaing village, on the strategic Route 3 highway connecting Shwebo and Wetlet. The suspect, a 41-year-old male resident of Shwe Kyaing village, located in the eastern part of Wetlet Township, was caught in possession of more than 32,000 WY tablets.
A representative from the Wetlet Township People's Security Team confirmed to the People's Spring Media outlet that the arrest came after nearly three months of investigation in this major case under Shwebo District jurisdiction.
The arrested individual and the seized evidence are currently being processed at the National Unity Government (NUG) police station in accordance with legal procedures, under the direction of the Wetlet Township police chief, U Thar Htoo.
The spokesperson for the Wetlet Township People's Security Team emphasized that the spread of narcotics in revolutionary-controlled areas poses a serious threat not only to public health but also to the revolution itself. Citizens are therefore encouraged to report such cases, and revolutionary forces—being supported and empowered by the people—are urged to act on them swiftly.

๐๐ 3. ICRC urges expanded humanitarian access to affected communities
June 29
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has urged that broader humanitarian access be granted to affected communities in regions impacted by armed conflict and natural disasters, in full respect of international humanitarian law.
In a June 27 statement titled "Rebuilding Lives in Myanmar Amid Conflict and Earthquake Destruction," the ICRC emphasized the need to provide comprehensive humanitarian assistance to village communities in affected areas.
Despite temporary ceasefires and pauses in fighting by various armed groups, hostilities continue to occur in many areas, the ICRC said.
Arnaud de Baecque, ICRC Head of Delegation for Myanmar based in Yangon, noted that the organization is saddened to witness the struggles of the people as they attempt to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of the earthquake. He stressed that the longstanding suffering of communities already deeply affected by conflict has been further compounded, and this should not be overlooked. The ICRC, he affirmed, stands with the people at every step of their recovery journey.
As such, Arnaud de Baecque urged the international community not to turn a blind eye to Myanmar, but instead to increase and expand their support efforts.
The ICRC has been actively working over the past three months—together with its local partners, including the Myanmar Red Cross Society—in Mandalay Region, Sagaing Region, Bago Region, and Shan State to meet the urgent needs of affected village communities.
Following the recent earthquakes, over 110,000 people have received life-saving assistance from the ICRC, including safe drinking water, food, tarpaulin shelters, solar-powered lighting, essential household supplies, and emergency medical services through mobile clinics and hospitals.
These reports were submitted by Radio NUG correspondent Ko Khant.
