Press Release

(31 March 2010)

ARNO supports the NLD’s decision

Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) fully supports the decision of the National League for Democracy (NLD) not to register as a political party rejecting the upcoming elections to be held under SPDC’s strange and undemocratic constitution and unjust laws. This decision of NLD truly represents and translates the aspiration of the people of Burma despite regime’s continued suppression and efforts to get rid of the NLD and country’s democracy movement.

We would like to remind that now is the high time for all peoples of the country to resolutely march forward in solidarity, in order to complete the unfinished movement for democracy and human rights, to firmly establishing a peaceful, stable and prosperous Federal Union of Burma.

Now the SPDC is trying to organize the Rohingya people of Arakan through false pretences while consistently confining them between the devil and the deep blue sea.

We urge upon the international community, UN and all member states, including US, EU, ASEAN countries not to recognize the results of the fake elections.
