NUG stated that the incident of a lady being  shot and murdered in Tamu is in contravention of the Military Code of Conduct and will take the action seriously.

The National Unity Government announced that the incident of a woman being shot and murdered is the contravention of the code of conduct and a severe penalty will be imposed on those found guilty.

NUG stated that the social media was heavily trending the news of the incident in which a lady, purported to be a perpetrator in a murder of some PDFs in Tamu, Sagaing Region, is shown being shot and killed and that was in contravention of the code of conduct and rules of engagement NUG has laid down.

If anyone is found to be in breach of any of the rules stipulated by law, a severe penalty will be imposed on those found guilty, as this is an unacceptable situation.

In the statement announced by NUG, it was described that in order to carry out the people defensive revolution and to counter the terrorism, the People Defence Force must act in accordance with the military law and procedures. Moreover, The National Unity Government has said to direct relevant officials to investigate urgently the events in detail, and to find out whether members of the People’s Defence Force have been involved in any way, and to discover whether any rules of engagement have been contravened.

And again, the members of the People Defence Forces, People Police Forces and People Defence Organization are reminded not to fall into the trap of acting like the forces of the terrorist military council by committing atrocities and barbarities. NUG also reminded that They should also be mindful of the fact that we, as a revolution, are combating inhumane acts committed by the military fascists, and so must not at any time act like the military by committing crimes against humanity and performing inhumane acts.

The National Unity Government stated that they pledge to do its utmost to prevent abhorrent incidents like this from happening again anywhere in the country, and to work towards an independent future Federal Democracy where compassion and empathy thrives in the community.
