WE WANTS AUNG SAN SUU KYI RELEASED

Aung San Suu Kyi [ Champion of Democracy in Burma, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist struggles for freedom.]

To: Peoples of the World, their Governments, the United Nations

DEAR FRIEND OF BURMA,

Following popular mass uprisings in 1988 the military junta held elections in Burma, the National League for Democracy (NLD)led by Aung San Suu Kyi won a stunning landslide victory with 80 percent of the total parliamentary seats on May 27, 1990. Not only did the military junta not honor the results of the 1990 general election, it launched a series of systematic and brutal crackdowns on pro-democracy activists. Elected representatives were not allowed to convene in parliament and many of those elected were arrested, tortured, dismissed, and forced into exile. Aung San Suu Kyi has been forcibly isolated and put on house arrest by the military junta.

Aung San Suu Kyi is under house arrest for more than 10 of the past 16 years. The peoples of the World honored for her outstanding persistent work to let democratic order be established in Burma. She is the soul of a Nation, despite years of repression, she will not allow the torch of democracy to be extinguished. She is an outstanding example of the efforts by the people of Burma to achieve democracy ... To peoples around the world, she is an example of peaceful opposition to oppression.

Aung San Suu Kyi has had virtually no contact with the outside world since her last detention period began in May 2003. Her house arrest was last extended by six months in December 2005. The continued detention of Aung San Suu Kyi, members of her NLD political party and others who have peacefully expressed their political views, is without cause and unacceptable. They should be released immediately.

We, the undersigned, therefore call upon all freedom-loving peoples of the world, and their governments, and the United Nations, to support by all and every means that may be necessary the removal of the Burmese junta and its replacement by democratic rule.We called for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all other political prisoners.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
