1. The National Unity Government (NUG) issued a statement on July 3, stating that the illegitimate military junta, which is attempting to unlawfully seize power from the people, has no authority or legitimacy to hold elections. The NUG reiterated that the results of the 2020 general election remain politically valid and that the legislative and executive bodies formed based on that outcome continue to exist with full legitimacy. Citing Announcement No. 13/2025, the NUG stated that any sham election disregarding the people's will is a violation of democracy and an unlawful seizure of power. Following the CRPH's abolition of the 2008 Constitution on March 30, 2021, the NUG declared all actions by the military junta under that constitution unlawful and without legal basis. Revolutionary forces will continue to uphold and pursue the Federal Democracy Charter and the roadmap for political transition, which form the basis of their core political objectives. The terrorist military junta is arranging an illegitimate election, which the NUG called on the entire public to firmly reject and collectively resist.

Political prisoners in Myingyan Prison recited poems to celebrate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s 80th birthday on June 19. In response, Myingyan Prison staff have been retaliating against prisoners reciting poems by beating and shackling them, placing them in solitary confinement, denying medical treatment, and restricting access to letters and parcels. PPNM condemned these human rights violations and vowed to hold the responsible prison officials accountable through legal processes when justice is restored.
