*Burma Democratic Concern Petition -Implement 1990 Elections Result in Burma

This is time to take actions and not words. Military government bought the time for 20 years and we should not let it happen anymore. United Nations must set out the dead lines to transfer power to Aung San Suu Kyi’s party National League for Democracy (NLD) by 2010. We don't want any more waiting games. General Assembly of the United Nations has accepted the notion that the will of the people has been expressed in the 1990 General Elections. International community strongly condemned the junta for refusing to allow elected representatives to meet as a People's Assembly and for failing to honour the results of the elections and hand over power. UN General Assembly has since 1991 passed successive annual Resolutions calling on Burma "to restore democracy and implement the results of the 1990 elections".

*Collective Action Committee-Stop 2010 bogus and fraudulent election designed by the military

To: the international community at The United Nations General Assembly’s annual meeting and the European Union To the dignitaries of the United Nations, except the representatives of “Myanmar” who claim to represent the peoples of Burma:

To the dignitaries of the European Union:

To world communality who valued Democracy and Human’s right:

The military rulers of Burma now plan to implement the 7th Stage of their so-called “Road Map to Disciplined Democracy” – the 2010 general elections. The abovementioned facts and track record of the military show that they are determined to maintain power, at the expense of the wellbeing of the nation. In 1948 Burma had gained independence and was known as the “Rice bowl of Asia”, and its currency had real value. It was known as a fast developing nation”. However, after 1962, Burma’s position rapidly plummeted, and it eventually reached Least Developed Country status, and had one of the worst human rights abuses records in the world. The military leaders of today are in reality clones spawned by Ne Win – they were the coup leaders of 1988, and none of the promises given by them have ever been kept. Their denial of foreign aid after Cyclone Nargis illustrates that they are not, and have never been, concerned about the welfare of the people. This present day attempt to fool the international community into believing that they will adopt a democratic process is merely a facade. It is no more than a carbon copy of the 1974 constitution which was designed to keep the military in power. Thus, the planned so-called return to civil rule will only further enslave the nation, and will extinguish all genuine democratic opposition to their rule.

In this critical year of 2009, we ask delegates of the international community at the United Nations General Assembly’s annual meeting and the European Union not to recognize this bogus and fraudulent election designed by the military. We ask all to join forces and to use the instruments of the United Nations to bring about a genuine change and true democracy for the people of Burma. We thank you in anticipation for the work you are about to undertake.

*Amnesty International Canada-eAppeal: Free Political Prisoners in Myanmar

“Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as 'grace under pressure' - grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure.” Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s “Freedom From Fear” speech given in 1990.

Please sign our email appeal to the Myanmar government demanding the release of all political prisoners, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratic opposition activists who were arrested following peaceful street protests in September 2007.

I urgently call upon the Myanmar government to release Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her two female companions immediately and unconditionally, and to ensure that they receive all necessary medical attention.

I ask particularly about the following Prisoners of Conscience suffering from chronic and various medical conditions: Htay Kywe, Hla Myo Naung, Ko Ko Gyi, Min Ko Naing, Myo Yan Naung Thein, Su Su Nway, Kay Thi Aung, Zarganar, U Khun Htun Oo and U Win Htein.

*Free Burma!

Category: Human Rights
Region: Burma (Myanmar)
Target: United Nations Secretary-General : Ban Ki-moon

The people of Burma are suffering a lot of hardships in their very own country.

Over one million Burmese people have been displaced from their homes, and the soldiers of Burma shoot the innocent civilians on sight.

This horrible atrocity of human rights should not be ignored any longer.
