NUCC Condemns China's Warning Letter to TNLA
The National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) on August 31 strongly condemned China's Shweli National Security Committee for sending a threatening letter to an immediate end to the ongoing fighting of the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (PSLF/TNLA) as a brutal threat to the TNLA and the revolution of the Burmese people.
NUCC urged to retract the letter sent by the Shweli National Security Committee dated 29th August, to respect and recognize the relevant ethnic groups and people of Myanmar in accordance with international laws, and ethics, and also urged China and the border authorities to try to deepen friendship by sympathizing and supporting the unjust abuse of Myanmar's ethnic people who were suffering from the military's abuses.
