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.

BURMA DEMOCRATIC CONCERN
Blank Learning from the 1988 popular uprising, 1996 student demonstrations, 1998 student demonstrations, and 2007 saffron revolutions; the need of political environment inside Burma is extremely essential to pressure the regime persistently to do reform and also to educate the people about their rights and mobilize them.

Burma Democratic Concern believes that the solution for the crisis of Burma is restoring democracy and rule of law. Burma Democratic Concern is embarking on flourishing democracy in Burma where everyone can enjoy the freedom of speech, press, beliefs, assembly and rule of law that emphasizes the protection of individual rights.

Burma Democratic Concern is equipped with participants who had political background and in depth knowledge of Burma issues. They had experiences in the past and engaging in current activities. They have the firm determination to carry on doing until the democracy restore in Burma.

The work is largely inspired by their experiences and the appalling conditions they encountered inside Burma. Burma Democratic Concern members are human rights activists and student activists consistently attempting to defend the human rights abuses in Burma.
