"In Myanmar, the terrorist military overthrew the civilian government and staged a coup d’e tat in February. The people’s mass protests have been viciously cracked down by the terrorist military, injuring and killing many people. At present, the people of Burma, with the rights to defend ourselves, are revolting all throughout the country against the military which has been ruling with violence for more than 70 years by means of arms. Ethnic organizations which have been fighting against oppression for years are now facilitating the revolution as well. Currently, the terrorist military is committing severe violations of human rights and crimes against humanity, such as arresting and torturing innocent civilians in villages and towns all over the country; using them as prisoners of war; making them into human shields; looting and destroying the properties of people; burning down entire villages and towns; torturing, carrying out mass killings and burying groups of innocent people; burning people to death; raping women and so on. Moreover, across the country, the terrorist military is continuously conducting aerial bombing attacks on places resided by innocent civilians. On the day before yesterday, the terrorist military council attacked with aerial bombings on innocent civilians in Kale, Sagaing Division and in Lay Kay Kaw Myothit, Karen State. Therefore, we, the Students’ Unions, support the following demands in order to stop the terrorist military from killing innocent people, committing crimes and violating human rights. 1. We, the Students' Unions, support the statement of the KNU (the Karen National Union) issued on December 20. We also call for the United Nations to quickly respond to ​the request numbered 5(b) in the KNU’s statement. 2. At present, because of the military’s excessive use of air strikes, lots of innocent people are losing their lives and are suffering the agony of war. In addition, many homes of the people are being destroyed. Accordingly, we urgently request for the nationwide designation of No-fly Zone in Myanmar..."
