Press Release
(15 May 2009)
RELEASE DAW SUU IMMEDIATELY
We strongly denounce the new charges against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. SPDC is very unjust to accuse her of violating the law following US national John Yettaw swam to her lakeside house. Daw Suu did not invite John but she told him to leave her home. The accident was merely breach of security where the authorities watched over her house.
The trial against her in the notorious Insein Jail is nothing but a design to justify another extension of her yearlong detention, which ends May 27, 2009. The United Nations and international jurors have had said that her house arrest is illegal even under Burmese law.
We also express our concern that her transfer from her home to notorious Insein jail will aggravate her health due to the harsh prison condition.
We urge upon the international community, the United Nations, EU, ASEAN and neighbouring India and China to put pressure on the SPDC:
- To provide proper medical care to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all inmates.
- To immediately release Daw Suu and all other political prisoners.
- To engage in genuine dialogue with the democratic forces and ethnic nationalities on the basis of all-inclusive democratic and political process.
