PRESS RELEASE: STATEMENT OF ARNO ON THE ELECTIONS OF GENERALS IN BURMA
ARAKAN ROHINGYA NATIONAL ORGANISATION
ARAKAN, BURMA
PRESS RELEASE
(13 November 2010)
STATEMENT OF ‘ARNO’ ON THE ELECTIONS OF GENERALS IN BURMA
Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) again condemns the sham elections of the Burmese military general held on November 7, 2010, which brings no changes to the people of Burma except recurrence of the military rule with a civilian face.
As the people of Burma prophesied, the November 7 elections were neither free nor fair. The elections were only to prolong and consolidate civilianized military rule as they were based on SPDC’s undemocratic constitution drawn in 2008 against the aspiration of the people for human rights, federal democracy and principles of equality. The people of Burma will continue to suffer persecution.
PRESS RELEASE: STATEMENT ON THE RELEASE OF DAW AUNG SUU KYI
ARAKAN ROHINGYA NATIONAL ORGANISATION

PRESS RELEASE
(13 November 2010)
STATEMENT ON THE RELEASE OF DAW AUNG SUU KYI
- We warmly welcome the release of Burma democracy icon Daw Aung San Suu Kyi today. The release was long overdue and her detention for 15 of the past 21 years was a mockery.
- Daw Suu, who was barred to participate at the military held November 7, 2010 elections, is a source of an inspiration for the people of Burma. The news of her release has outshined the common pain of the people over the false elections. In facts, her participation in these sham elections wouldn’t have any difference as they were based on SPDC’s 2008 undemocratic constitution which does not signify any political changes or democratic reforms excepting to consolidate the military rule with a civilian face.
