The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) has enacted a law on June 13 to take legal action against Non-CDM staff under the military council with multiple charges, including participation in rebellion against the state. The law, titled ‘Civil Servants Law Regarding Non-Violent Civil Disobedience Movement,’ was submitted by the CDM Success Committee of the National Unity Government and approved by the Union Parliament.
The main objectives of this law include respecting the political beliefs of CDM civil servants, protecting their civil and basic human rights, honoring and supporting CDM staff with necessary assistance, and establishing measures to investigate and remedy the grievances and human rights violations suffered by CDM civil servants. The law also aims to implement justice and truth-seeking mechanisms for affected civil servants.
The legislation includes provisions for establishing a dignified civil service mechanism aligned with the federal democratic system, maintaining the noble spirit of CDM staff in the long term, and taking legal action against Non-CDM staff according to law. Specifically, Section 19 contains provisions for prosecuting Non-CDM staff for their collaboration with the terrorist military group’s rebellion against the state. However, the law also provides exemptions from prosecution for those who can provide credible evidence of effectively supporting the revolution’s success.
