Statement No. 4

Shan Government, Federated Shan States

With reference to Section 4 of the Federated Shan States Policy Statement 1, it stated that “ The ISG shall ensure those who were guilty of crimes against humanity will be brought to justice through ICJ ( International Court of Justice) or its equivalent institution” as may be determined by the FSS Government.

Therefore the Federated Shan States Government demands that:

1. The SPDC junta ceased immediately all hostilities and barbaric atrocities including all oppressive measures, forced portering, extra judicial killings, looting, force relocations, mass rape and tortures.

2. The immediate and unconditional release of SNLD leader, Hkun Htoon Oo and all other Prisoners of Conscience.

3. The immediate withdrawal of all SPDC troops from Federated Shan States, especially the 150 battalions stationed in three main regions of the Shan Nation States (such as eastern Shan State , Northern Shan State and Southern Shan State). The use of 2 battalions to control each township in causing unnecessary burden and hardships to our Shan people.

The Federated Shan States Government reserves the rights to expel all alien troops from its soil. The SPDC must pull back all its military and administrative apparatus from Federated Shan States.
