Petition to Support 1990 Election Results

Burmese junta came to power in 18 September 1988 after crushing uprising. Military regime held the General Elections in 27 May 1990. National League for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi won the landslide victory by 89.9% of the vote. The generals refused to honour it and arrested Aung San Suu Kyi, Student Leaders and NLD members.

The junta's Law No.14/89, "Pyithu Hluttaw(People's Assembly) Election Law," states clearly in Chapter 3 Section 3 that the "Hluttaw (Assembly) shall be formed with the Hluttaw representatives who have been elected.

The junta declared to hold another Election in 2010 to nullify the 1990 Elections result.

Burma Democratic Concern and other Burmese prodemocracy organisations call on the Prime Minister to support 1990 Elections result and urge International Community not to follow junta's 2010 Election plan.

Thailand Prime Minister is Nurturing the Military Dictatorship in Burma

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) today strongly condemns the Thailand Prime Minister Samak Sumdaravaj comments on Aung San Suu Kyi by saying that “the western countries not to pin their efforts to bring democracy to Burma on the release of detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi,” and keep on saying that “Ibrahim Gambari would have more success engaging the military regime if Ms Suu Kyi was left off the agenda”.

Mr Sundaravej went on saying that “Instead of focusing on Aung San Suu Kyi the international community should focus on the constitution and elections as a means of bringing democracy to Burma”.

His irresponsible comment is not only insulting on Aung San Suu Kyi but also insulting on Burmese people. The constitution he refers to is a sham one drawn 14 years long by regime’s hand pick delegation in order to legitimate military rule in Burma and adopted unilaterally.

Mr Samak should also know that people of Burma do not accept 2010 election. Burmese democratic forces also stressed their stand very clearly that there will be no more elections without implementing and recognizing the 1990 election results.

Mr Samart should bear in mind that elections were held in 1990 and the will of the Burmese has been expressed and UNGA had recognised the notion already. United Nations General Assembly has since 1991 on its successive resolution calling on Burma to implement 1990 elections result and hand over power.

“We are very sad to learn that Thai PM is nurturing the military dictatorship in Burma in order to exploit its natural resources”, said Myo Thein, Director of Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).

“I wonder Mr Samak got ears and eyes to see and hear the realities of suffering of Burmese people”, said Myo Thein. “His irresponsible comments seem to say that he cares only the people with GUNS, not with NON-VIOLENT”.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for Mr Samak Sumdaravaj to stop nurturing the military dictatorship in Burma.
