"MNDAA has held multiple public executions. The European Union condemned the executions "in the strongest term", calling them "an inhuman and degrading punishment that represents an ultimate denial of human dignity".[41]

The group has also been accused of forcibly recruiting migrant workers as fighters and executing deserters.[42] MNDAA forcibly recruited civilians during and after the launch of Operation 1027 in October 2023, targeting the military junta in northern Shan State.[43] They abducted civilians from refugee camps and fleeing convoys, demanded manpower quotas from local communities, targeted children as 10, and threatened or retaliated against those who report or escape recruitment.[44][43] When confronted, the MNDAA justified its actions as being consistent with its own laws.[43]

While the MNDAA is part of the anti-junta resistance, its actions have been criticized for undermining broader democratic aspirations and fueling inter-ethnic conflict.[45] Analysts note that the group's focus has shifted from establishing a federal democratic union to pursuing narrow ethno-nationalist and territorial expansionist goals.[45] This shift potentially sidelines inclusive political solutions and challenges the unity of the broader pro-democracy movement in Myanmar.[45]"
