Statement on 254th Anniversary of Hongsawatoi Fallen Day Today, the 8th Waning day of the second month in Mon Lunar Calendar, is the 254th anniversary of Hongsawatoi Fallen Day. On this Memorial Day, we pray for and pay respect to those who were brutally massacred in genocide at the falling of Hongsawatoi Mon kingdom. Our commemoration of the fallen of Hongsawatoi shall also tell the world that silent genocide has continued in Burma until present day. During this commemoration, therefore, we would like to encourage all Mon people around the world that it is our historic duty to continue to observe the Hongsawatoi Fallen Day every year without fail. In 1757, Burman leader, U Aung Zeya invaded and devastated the Mon Kingdom, Hongsawatoi, by killing countless numbers of Mons including women, children, and Buddhist monks. Thousands of those lived fled to Thailand to escape the persecution. Due to the occupation and repression, our people not only have lost our self-determination rights but also become a minority in our own land. Around the world, after the massacre of millions of Jews by Hitler during the War World II, the incidence of genocide has been minuscule. However, silent genocide and ethnic cleansing still continue in Burma. Successive Burmese governments have pursued ethnic cleansing policies and persecuted thousands of non-Burman ethnic groups. The persecutions of civilian have expended to the killing of thousands of peaceful demonstrators in 1988’s nationwide uprising and in 2007’s Saffron Revolution. The political deadlock and civil war in Burma continue because Burmese military regime has adopted Burman’s chauvinist attitude toward non-Burman ethnic groups. Although Burma now has formed a new government, it is merely military government with a different uniform. The regime has not only restricted on non-Burman ethnic rights but also democratic rights. Although ethnic and democratic leaders are fearlessly demanding political dialogue, the regime has ignored the demand. Political and human rights situations show no signs of improvement; political prisoners have not yet released; freedom of press or expression and the teaching of ethnic languages are still restricted; and human rights violations and civil war in ethnic areas have continued. On this special day, therefore, we urge all the civil societies and the people of Burma to support the United Nationalities Federal Council (UNFC) and the Committee Representing the People's Parliament [CRPP] in order to solve In order to solve Burma’s political problem through tripartite dialogue. At the same time, we also urge all the Mon to continue the fight for our self-determination rights.

Some were even burned alive in stockades throughout the kingdom. It was the darkest chapter in our Mon history. The ruthless destruction of  Mon by U Aung Zeya and his army was often equated with the destruction of Jews by the Nazis. As a result, we, the Mon around the world annually commemorate the Fallen Day of Hongsawatoi Mon Kingdom in remembrance of tens of thousands of Mon who were ruthlessly persecuted by Burman ruler, U Aung Zeya at the fall of Hongsawatoi.  This day is also remembered as Holocaust Memorial Day of the Mon People. Although 253 years have passed since the ruthless killing of Mon people and devastation of Hongsawatoi Mon Kingdom by the Burma ruler U Aung Zeya, the present day Mon are still subjected to persecution and ethnic cleansing by the successive Burmese governments. It appears that history repeats itself again and again. Instead of addressing the grievances and aspiration of Mon and other ethnic nationalities in Burma, the current military regime even escalates the persecution, marginalization and discrimination against our Mon and other ethnic nationalities. Currently, the Burmese military regime, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) attempts to transform the Mon and other ethnic nationalities forces into Border Guard Forces without any tangible political solution and guarantees. The New Mon State Party (NMSP) rightly rejected the force transformation proposal by the SPDC on April 22, 2010 and it seems that the armed conflict between the NMSP and the SPDC is inevitable. As a result, a large number of Mon civilians are again abandoning their villages and taking refuge in the Halockani Mon refugee camp on the Thai-Burma border. In 1757, at the fall of Hongsawatoi Mon Kingdom, some of Mon, who were comparatively fortunate enough to escape from the ruthless killing of  U Aung Zeya, had fled to Thailand to take refuge over there. Today, tens of thousands of innocent Mon civilians again have to abandon their beloved motherland and take refuge in the refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border. Despite years and centuries have been changed, the plight of Mon people are more or less the same with a constant fearing and fleeing from political persecution by the Burmese military rulers. As a result, we would like to urge all Mon and friends of Mon around the globe to be rock-solidly united and stand behind the NMSP in defending against and fighting for the rights of our Mon people. Without our national rights and democratic principles that can safeguard the political, social, economic and cultural rights of our Mon people, our Mon may still have to flee from persecution like this for many centuries to come. Therefore, it is now a critical moment for us all to decide whether we fight or we flight. Democratic forces in the country like NLD and others are hand in hand with the ethnic nationalities in fighting against the BCG proposal and the sham election in 2010 which is deliberately intended to prolong the military rule. If, we, Mon have a rock-solid unity among all our Mon and then build a unity with other ethnic nationalities and democratic forces in Burma and around the world, we will certainly achieve our national goals and then can put an end to plight of fleeing from persecution like this once and for all.  Therefore, on this unforgettable day in our history, we urge: All Mon around the globe to be united behind the NMSP in defending against and fighting for the rights of our Mon people, and in boycotting  the upcoming SPDC's election. The SPDC to immediately stop the practice of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and all forms of human rights violations against the Mon and all other ethnic nationalities, The SPDC to immediately initiate a genuine tripartite dialogue with ethnic nationalities and elected representatives, International community not to recognize the SPDC’s planned election in 2010 without constitutional amendments as demanded by the democratic forces and ethnic nationalities      The statement is jointly issued by: 1.

The regime’s verdict is designed to prevent her from participating in the upcoming 2010’ election.   The conviction of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi shows the true color of the regime that it is not interested in national reconciliation. We thank the international community for standing with the people of Burma and for strong condemnation of the Burmese regime.  We also thank to the UNSC for taking action on the issue, but we expected that the action could have been more resolute.  We are saddened by that China and other like-minded countries failed to condemn the regime. We urge the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council to impose a tougher targeted sanctions and global arms embargo against the military regime. Overseas Mon Coordinating Committee   JOINT-STATEMENT ON THE 252nd ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALLEN DAY OF HONGSAWATOI MON KINGDOM May 16, 2009 The 252nd anniversary of the destruction of Hongsawatoi Mon Kingdom falls on May 16, 2009 (The 8th waning day of Pa Sike, Mon Lunar Calendar). We, the Mon people from around the world, annually observe this day as the “Holocaust Memorial Day of the Mon People” in memory of tens of thousands of Mon who faced unimaginable horror and persecution by the Burman ruler, U Aung Zeya, at the falling of Hongsawatoi. Today, once again, we commemorate the falling day of Hongsawatoi in order to raise awareness of the ongoing silent genocide of the Mon and other ethnic nationalities in Burma. In 1757, U Aung Zeya invaded and devastated the Mon Kingdom Hongsawatoi (Pegu) by killing tens of thousands of innocent Mon civilians. Over 3,000 Mon Buddhist monks were brutally massacred in the city of Pegu alone, while other countless numbers of monks, pregnant women, and children throughout the kingdom were massacred or burnt alive in ruthless holocausts. The destruction of the Mon by U Aung Zeya and his army was similar to the destruction of Jews by the Nazis. Although U Aung Zeya died over 200 years ago, his legacy of evilness and crimes against humanity are still strongly supported and enforced in modern day Burma. The current and past Burmese military regimes, following the evil spirit of U Aung Zeya, have used systematic ethnic cleansing tactics and committed various human rights abuses in their attempts to eliminate the Mon and other ethnic nationalities in Burma. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes and have become refugees in neighboring countries with many more have been internally displaced.  The political situations in Burma not only show no signs of improvement, but rather appear to be going backwards. The current Burmese military regime (SPDC) has been refusing to hold a dialogue with ethnic nationalities and opposition parties for a peaceful political resolution. Instead, the regime went ahead with its sham National Convention and unilaterally drafted a constitution which attempt to legitimize the regime’s rule. Now the regime plans to hold a general election in 2010. Since the election will not be free and fair, most of the ethnic political parties will not participate in the election. Some of ethnic cease-fire groups have been preparing to resume fighting if the regime forces them to surrender or take control of their army without a political resolution. This would escalate new fighting between the regime and ethnic cease-fire armed groups in Burma. We believe that only political dialogue will prevent further bloodshed in Burma. Therefore, in honor of the victims who were killed during the destruction of Hongsawtoi Mon Kingdom, we urge: The SPDC to immediately initiate a genuine tripartite dialogue with ethnic nationalities and elected representatives, The SPDC to immediately stop the practice of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and all forms of human rights violations against the Mon and all other ethnic nationalities, International community not to lift economic sanctions on the SPDC unless human rights abuses end in Burma, Mon people to be united behind Mon political parties and boycott the upcoming SPDC's election.   The statement is issued jointly issued by: 1.

Mon Community (Denmark) decided to conduct a campaign against fear. Let's Oppose and Boycott the SPDC's Election in 2010 The State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), the current military regime in Burma, announced that a general election will be held in 2010. The election is held with the intention of the military regime to control the country by dictatorial rule as long as possible. To achieve its goals, it has been arresting and detaining students, monks, democracy activists and civilians unlawfully and brutally. At the same time, the SPDC has threatened ethnic cease-fire groups to lay down their arms and join the election according to its 7 step road-map plan for democracy. Nevertheless, when it is known that cease-fire groups would not lay down their arms, the SPDC has changed its tactics. In line with these tactics, the leaders of the ethnic cease-fire groups were told that they could join the election without laying down their arms. However, their forces would be placed under the command of the SPDC's military command. As a result, we, the Overseas Mon Coordinating Committee (OMCC) and the Mon Unity League(MUL) strongly believe that all Mon political organizations especially the New Mon State Party and its armed wing, the Mon National Liberation Army, all Mon civil societies and social classes including Mon monks and youth have to struggle to escape from continual enslavement of the present military dictatorship. The struggle is to oppose the SPDC's general election. The reasons behind our opposition to the SPDC's election are numerous. The military regime has brutally cracked down and killed unarmed civilians and students in the 1988 general uprising and took power by illegal means. Even after a general election was held in 1990, it still refused to hand over power to the winning parties in the election. Instead, it clings on the power in the country until now. Furthermore, the SPDC has ruthlessly killed hundreds of its citizens, detained and tortured a large number of Buddhists monks during the peaceful protest known as the Saffron Revolution that took place in 2007 because of the increasing commodity prices in the country. Therefore, it is apparent that any SPDC's activities and plans will not lead to any meaningful reform into a democratic system. The SPDC has not only prohibited the preservation and promotion of the literature of the ethnic minorities but also compels them into forced labour, forced relocation, rape and land confiscation. It has also set up increasing number of battalions in the ethnic nationalities' areas. This kind of behavior is in stark contrast to the aim and principle of equal rights for all, national reconciliation and self-determination. Without self-determination and equality, any race would be hard to maintain and develop by itself and can be disappeared in a very short time. And, without national reconciliation there will be no peace or stability in the country and civil war will drag on forever. As mentioned earlier, the winning parties in the 1990 general election were not given any power. Instead pressures are constantly put on the ethnic cease-fire groups to accept the control and command of the military. Arrests and unlawful detention are very common. In such a situation, another general election would be neither free nor fair. Many individuals and groups including Mon political parties, armed groups, and the Mon organizations inside and outside the country have been struggling for the right to self-determination and the establishment of a genuine federal union and peaceful country. These aims and goals for our country and our people will not be achieved from the SPDC's plans and its activities. Therefore, all Mon people, especially the political parties and the armed groups need to oppose the SPDC's new general election which is scheduled to be held in 2010. And finally, all Mon people need to cooperate with our political parties and armed groups to attain our ultimate goals of equal rights, self-determination and national reconciliation. Overseas Mon Coordinating Committee, Mon Unity League STATEMENT ON THE 251st ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALLING DAY OF THE MON KINGDOM HONGSAWATOI   May 27, 2008 Today, Mon people around the world observe the 251st anniversary of the Fallen of Mon Kingdom Hongsawatoi. In memory of tens of thousands of Mon who were brutally persecuted by Burman ruler, U Aung Zeya, at the falling of Hongsawatoi, this day is also celebrated as Holocaust Memorial Day of the Mon People. In 1757, U Aung Zeya invaded and devastated the Mon kingdom by killing tens of thousands of innocent Mon civilians. Over 3,000 Mon Buddhist monks were massacred in Pegu city alone, while other countless numbers of monks, pregnant women, and children throughout the kingdom were burned alive in stockades or were killed in other unimaginable ways. The ruthless destruction of the Mon by U Aung Zeya and his army was similar to the destruction of Jews by the Nazis. Although U Aung Zeya passed away over 200 years ago, his evil spirit (acts of evil) is still alive and well in Burma. The successive Burmese military regime has indoctrinated his evil spirit into its Army in order to launch systematic ethnic-cleansing campaigns in Burma. Over the last five decades, Burmese Army has committed various human rights abuses including rapes, tortures, and killings of the Mon and other ethnic nationalities. No difference from its predecessors, the current Burmese military regime has continued to nourish the U Aung Zeya's doctrine and has continued to oppress ethnic people including Mon, Karen, and Shan. As a result, hundreds of thousands people have fled their homes and become refugees in neighboring countries and many more have been internally displaced. This Memorial Day should serve as a reminder to the world about the Burmese regime's atrocities against the Mon and its capability of repeating this history of horrors against the ethnic nationalities in Burma. It is our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the world's community not to let such horrors take place again.
