The Issuance of the ASEAN Chairman’s Statement on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
1. The ASEAN Chairman’s Statement on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was issued with the best of intentions towards Myanmar and reflects the desire for the process of national reconciliation in Myanmar to move forward on the basis of inclusiveness, with the participation of all sectors of society. Thailand, in its capacity as the current ASEAN Chairman, shall continue to pursue constructive dialogue with the Government of the Union of Myanmar.
2. According to ASEAN’s practice, a Joint ASEAN Statement is a negotiated text, which is prepared by ASEAN officials and approved by the ASEAN Foreign Ministries or the ASEAN Heads of State/Government. An ASEAN Chairman’s Statement, however, is issued by the Government which is the current Chair of ASEAN, without the need for joint drafting by the ASEAN officials.
3. In this case, the ASEAN Senior Officials had discussed this issue and expressed views on the recent developments on 18th May 2009 and agreed that Thailand, as the current ASEAN Chair, should issue the ASEAN Chairman’s Statement on recent developments about Daw Aung San Suu Kyi reflecting the views expressed in the SOM Meeting and to inform other ASEAN Foreign Ministries accordingly. Similar action had previously been taken before.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) Calls For Russian Government Supports To Restore Justice In Burma
26 May 2009
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) demands the Russian government for their support in achieving justice for Aung San Suu Kyi and the peaceful restoration of democracy in Burma. With a global community comes a global responsibility, the crisis in Burma falls well within the scope and responsibility if this international mutualisation.
The people of Burma call for international support in putting to an end to Burma’s long standing crisis. Russia’s role is critical in evolving positive change in Burma since it is a permanent member of United Nations Security Council.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) recollects the United Nations Security Council Presidential Statement on Burma in October 11, 2007. It called for the Burmese military regime to; “release all political prisoners and to create the necessary conditions for a genuine dialogue with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in order to achieve an inclusive national reconciliation with the direct support of the United Nations.”
The Security Council also called on Burma’s junta to; “take all necessary measures to address the political, economic, humanitarian, and human rights issues that are the concern of its people and emphasizes that the future of Myanmar lies in the hands of all of its people.”
With the collective action taken by all permanent members of United Nations Security Council, i.e. US, UK, France, Russia and China as well as other Security Council members, the presidential statement was issued on 11 October 2007 and sent a very powerful message to the junta that the world is watching and it won’t let the Burmese people to be massacred.
We want the Russian Government and its citizens to know that Burmese people have been suffering under a brutal military dictatorship for more than half century. During this time thousands of people lost their lives, thousands have been arrested and imprisoned and thousands were forced to flee for their lives while seeking refuge around the world.
Our aspirations for democracy by nonviolent means are well documented. Our legitimate leader, Aung San Suu Kyi has been courageously leading the struggle for freedom, liberty, democracy and human rights in Burma.
Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the citizens of Burma in the 1990 General Election. Ironically that election was conducted by the same generals who suppress Burma today. Aung San Suu Kyi has become icon of the humanities to the people of Burma as well as the world.
We are all too aware of global politics and the power struggle between the East and the West. From the Burmese perspective these international differences have negatively impacted the crisis in Burma by polarizing our struggle internationally. As the international community bickers with one another our people are paying dearly with their lives.
In a recent United Nations Security Council Press Release, 22 May 2009, it reaffirmed the UN’s position by saying; “The members of the Security Council reiterate the need for the Government of Myanmar to create the necessary conditions for a genuine dialogue with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and in order to achieve an inclusive national reconciliation with the support of the United Nations and reiterate that the future of Myanmar lies in the hands of all of its people”.
We are encouraged to see the United Nations Security Council Presidential Statement and the Press Statements on Burma. It calls for the military junta to establish a genuine dialogue with Aung San Suu Kyi and release all political prisoners. Then it warned the junta that it cannot proceed with its own unilateral way by saying “the future of Burma lies in the hands of all Burmese people”.
Junta’s planned 2010 election is designed to legitimised military rule in Burma. To pave the way for their rigged 2010 election plan, junta continue imprisoning democracy activists, plotting the ploy to imprison Aung San Suu Kyi and doing everything they can to nullify 1990 election results.
Currently, Aung San Suu Kyi is charged and tried in the Insein prison relating to the swimmer incident which could end up at least 5 years imprisonment.
This is junta’s cunning act to imprison Aung San Suu Kyi as her 6 years house arrest would be reached on 27 May 2009. Junta wanted to lock Aung San Suu Kyi in jail forever as their rigged 2010 election plan is drawing nearer in which they are setting up everything to win their backed party.
Burma is in very critical state.
The People of Burma look to the leaders of Russia in an effort to garner support for a democratic Burma. They also seek healing from years of a ruthless military dictatorship. Russia would ease the suffering as a democratic Burma rises from the ashes of tyranny.

Letter from RANGOON
Letter from RANGOON
by BDC
26 May 2009
Dear XXXXX,
I hope you are not shocked to see my letter. Whenever I send my letters, you might think there is something wrong in Yangon.
There is no cyclone in Yangon this time. There is no gun fire as well. However, as the historic saying, “Is Paris Burning,” there is fire in Yangon, my friend XXXX.
We are walking on the extreme hot weather which cause by the late monsoon. We are swatting. We are suffering from shortness of breath and anxiety. My anger on the speed of internet makes me shake my computer. I can’t sit still at my house. I can’t control my hands from reaching my mobile phone. I can’t sleep at night. There’s something in my mind. Aunty Suu…
Days are very long. These are the longest days for Yangonites for those who are eagerly waiting news for Insein. In their minds, everybody is on the street protesting.
Yesterday, ambassadors and some journalists were invited to attend the trial for the first time. You might have already heard about this. I wanted to share one thing which is thrilling. One of the journalists who attended the trial was my close friend. He told me a lot of things like Daw Suu is healthy and in good shape. She is composed; however, the swimmer, Yettaw, looks panicky. Everybody including prison guards couldn’t put their eyes away from Daw Suu, etc. I will cut short because everything else is in the news. I just want to share one bone chilling moment with you.
Thirty diplomats and 10 journalists were waiting in the court room. Soon after they heard the car approached, Daw Suu entered the court room confidently in her reddish brown dress. All diplomats stood up as she walked in the court room. She went straight to her lawyers without noticing what was happening. Diplomats were standing still until Daw Suu took her seat. They didn’t sit down even though police gestured them to. It took about 10 minutes.
The journalist voice was shaking as he told the event. He was in shock. He said he clearly saw the respect on Daw Suu in the diplomats’ eyes.
One of my friends who was listening with me said, “International community recognize her as our national leader.”
Your Friend,
XXXXX

Than Shwe’s Roadmap Takes Ominous Turn
Posted in Asia on May 25, 2009 by buffalohair
When Ban Ki-Moon arrives in Burma he might take a trip to *Shan State where Burmese troops raped a 15 year old girl, tortured villagers in Hsi Hseng Township and cut the hands off villager U Lone. There is no question the kangaroo court of Burma will convict Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The evidence provided was poorly manufactured and the demeaning rhetoric circulated by the The New Light of Myanmar was bogus at best. The court proceedings were the sham of the century. Journalists and diplomats who attended the trial verified the fact Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s verdict was already predetermined. The trial as a whole was an illusion at best.
Burma’s Consul-General Ye Myint Aung added his two cents worth by suggesting John William Yettaw was either a spy or boyfriend of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. This would almost be laughable if it were not for the fact the kangaroo court will undoubtedly convict Daw Aung Suu Kyi with such hearsay and lies. It should be plain as the nose on a person’s face that a brazen crime has been committed before the eyes of the world. There was no speculating for seasoned Burma observers though. It was business as usual as another pesky witness to the junta’s 1990 defeat got silenced. Sadly Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is actually being convicted for being elected by an overwhelming majority of Burma’s population, “The Crime of Winning an Election”. I wonder where it is written in Than Shwe’s constitution?
Small wonder activists throughout Burma are staging a peaceful demonstration on May 30th. Maybe the world will see for them selves how desperate the people of Burma are to be liberated from tyranny and absolute brutality, the signature of Than Shwe’s regime. With security forces being placed strategically around major cities Than Shwe prepares for an offensive against his own people, again. Some people remain fearful with memories still fresh from 2007’s Saffron Revolution and turbulent period that ensued. They stand in contrast to the growing numbers of citizens and organizations wearing white who already gathering in tea shops and designated locations across Burma. The rallying call for peaceful demonstration on May 30th is resonating across the land as word spreads about this grass roots demonstration. The junta has ordered generals to look internally for potentially pro democracy soldiers within their ranks. That would not be hard since the vast majority of the military including the generals would rather see a progressive Burma. Than Shwe’s inner circle is no exception.
Like everything else that happens in life, every dog has his day and one day soon Than Shwe and his minions will have their day in court as well. They will join the ranks of Adolf Hitler’s thugs and the Khmer Rouge who also consulted astrologers and practiced rituals to guarantee their destinies. Than Shwe’s soothsayers did not read the fine print to him when making a deal with the Devil. Nothing is free and there is no question he will pay regardless if he lives or dies. There are many spirits waiting for him to arrive once he crosses over and they are eager to give him he’s just reward, for an eternity.
The latest list of junta spawn evidence includes books, sun glasses and clothing, so far. Burma’s propaganda ministers desperately need just a bit more creativity in evolving evidence and lies against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. So now John William Yettaw is either Aung San Suu Kyi’s sweetie or a secret agent. A love interest, you got to be kidding. And John is a proverbial “James Bond”, give me a break. We are led to believe John who is asthmatic, diabetic and overweight, grabbed a 5 liter bottle as a floatation device and donned his wonder flippers. Then he grabbed books, clothing, video camera and swam to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s compound with approximately 300 government guards, lights and security fences surrounding the place. The junta could add an ice chest to the items John left at Daw Aung Suu Kyi’s home and the court would accept it as credible evidence. People still remember when the junta brought her husband to her home when she was under house arrest in an effort to make her look, “weak and wanting”. Aung San Suu Kyi sent him away to the chagrin of junta propagandists. We are led to believe a woman who could turn her husband away is going to rush into the arms of Yettaw. Sorry Ye Myint Aung, that is just stupid.
Foreigners are heavily monitored and are only two steps from a government snitch they say. The only thing “clandestine” about this story is how the junta recruited or exploited John William Yettaw in the first place. This brings more credibility to a person who witnessed **John Yettaw step out of a cab, produce a red document to the security at the compound then lead to an undisclosed location. With the court taking orders directly from Naypyidaw no one in their right mind would testify against the military junta anyway. Imprisonment and death would surely await those who dared to speak out. After the trial I would worry about the defense attorneys fore they could face prison time for representing Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. One thing is for certain, Burma is approaching a crossroad. Whether Than Shwe staged this event or not doesn’t really matter anymore. What’s more important is the final outcome since that is yet to be determined.

30 May Demonstration Solidarity
Memorial Day Weekend in the United States of American is a day when we remember the fallen that’ve died fighting for our freedom and democracy. These men and women paid the ultimate price so future generations could live with liberty. They are the heroes of our nation. Burma is a land full of heroes that died for the sake of freedom and democracy. The innocent villager who killed while tending his crops is a hero as well fore he died in the service of his family. Both the freedom fighter and the farmer share one desire and that’s only to be free.
For those who don’t know about the Depaeyin Massacre, on 30 May 2003, 2 miles outside of Depaeyin Township a junta lead mob of about 5,000 of anti-NLD protesters assaulted Aung San Suu Kyi’s convoy and a crowd of NLD supported killing hundreds of innocent people. With bamboo sticks organized thugs beat and maimed unarmed supporters who came to listen to Daw Aung Suu Kyi. Government officials directed the assault while police assisted the attackers in this needless blood bath.
Later after the assault police arrested all the survivors including Daw Aung Suu Kyi who was the actual target of this thinly masked assassination attempt. In the bloody aftermath 80 or more NLD members and associates where beaten to death and disfigured in this ghoulish and barbaric junta staged ambush. Everybody who died on that fateful day died for democracy and many died protecting Aung San Suu Kyi. Ironically, America’s Memorial Day falls on 30 May as well.
America’s freedom and democracy was hard fought and many sacrifices were made so future generations could live in a land with liberty and freedom. Our democracy is fiercely guarded and we’ve taken full responsibility for its protection and preservation. American’s all have a stake our democracy fore we are vigilant and know that we may have to pay the ultimate price once again.
At this juncture in time Burma is poised to make history. The dynamics of the current situation in Burma is at a breaking point. It is inevitability and Burma’s future to alter its destiny. The bonds that restrained her have long since rotted away and can no longer repress the desire to be free. Burma is enslaved by an illusion and random acts of tyranny designed to give the illusion of absolute control when in reality it masks the junta’s fear. The junta fears Aung San Suu Kyi fore she has rallied 10’s of millions of people where the military junta has only rallied a fraction of the population. The junta is outnumbered 80/20 in the population and that does not include cease fire groups. It is time for the Fighting Peacock to awaken; it is time for Burma to be free and it is time Daw Aung Suu Kyi is freed from bondage as well as all the political prisoners.
30 May is more than a demonstration it’s a show of solidarity. The eyes of the world are on Burma like never before. Wearing white and gathering in tea shops for peaceful demonstration will show the world that democracy is still in the hearts of Burmese the people. To stand in peaceful demonstration is to stand along side Daw Aung Suu Kyi letting her know she is not alone and her sacrifice is not in vane.

Statement on the arrest of the Leader of the National League for Democracy in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi
Statement on the arrest of the Leader of the National League for Democracy in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi
Pretoria- The South African Government joins the international community in expressing grave concern about the arrest of the Leader of the National League for Democracy, Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
It is with regret that the South African Government learnt of the new charges against Aung San Suu Kyi’s less than two weeks before her house arrest was due to end. The South African Government also took note of the recent reports on Ms Suu Kyi’s poor health and fears that the arrest may worsen her condition.
The South African Government calls on the Authorities in Myanmar to release Ms Suu Kyi immediately.
For the general elections due to be held in Myanmar in 2010 to be as viewed free and fair, the process should be all inclusive and for this reason, the Military Government of Myanmar is urged to release political prisoners including Aung San Suu Kyi in order to participate in the electoral process.
The South African government reiterates its position that the solution to the current challenges facing the people of Myanmar lies in a negotiated political solution between the government and the opposition, culminating in all inclusive free and fair elections.

New Zealand doubts fair trial for Aung San Suu Kyi

NZ doubts fair trial for Aung San Suu Kyi
New Zealand doubts that Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will get a fair trial, and continues to call for her immediate release, Foreign Minister Murray McCully said today.
Last week, Mr McCully condemned the arrest of the Burmese opposition leader, who has been under home detention for many years, and is now standing trial for alleged breaches of detention conditions.
"Despite widespread international condemnation, and calls for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi, the regime is continuing with its trial," Mr McCully said.
"Opening the court up to foreign diplomatic observers and journalists does not make it any more legitimate, nor will it lessen international criticism. In fact several observers have already said they see little evidence that Aung San Suu Kyi is receiving a fair trial.
"Even Burma's closest neighbours have expressed grave concern about recent developments, with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), saying the trial had put Burma's "honor and credibility" at stake.
"The Burmese government needs to listen to the international community, end the trial, and free Aung San Suu Kyi.
"New Zealand will continue to speak out on this issue. At a regional meeting in Thailand earlier this week we voiced concerns again, and called on the Burmese regime to make genuine efforts to restore democracy," Mr McCully said.

NZ doubts fair trial for Aung San Suu Kyi
New Zealand doubts that Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will get a fair trial, and continues to call for her immediate release, Foreign Minister Murray McCully said today.
Last week, Mr McCully condemned the arrest of the Burmese opposition leader, who has been under home detention for many years, and is now standing trial for alleged breaches of detention conditions.
"Despite widespread international condemnation, and calls for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi, the regime is continuing with its trial," Mr McCully said.

Foreign Ministers’ Telephone Conversation between Japan and the Union of Myanmar
Foreign Ministers’ Telephone Conversation between Japan and the Union of Myanmar
May 18, 2009
On May 18 (Mon), 2009 (JST), Minister for Foreign Affairs Hirofumi Nakasone gave a telephone call to Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Union of Myanmar U Nyan Win. It continued for about 15 minutes from 5:15 p.m.
The summary of the conversation is as follows;
1. Minister Nakasone stated that Japan was deeply concerned about recent charge brought against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and that it would have a grave effect on the views of countries concerned regarding Myanmar and its general election to be held in 2010. He also stated that it is well known that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was recently ill and humanitarian consideration is needed, and urged Myanmar to act in an appropriate way taking into account of the above-stated views of international community although this is a domestic issue in the judicial process. In addition, Minister Nakasone stated that now is an extremely important moment for the democratization in Myanmar, and expressed his expectation that the democratization process in Myanmar will be advanced in a way that international community could give a high regard for development of the process.
2. Minister U Nyan Win stated that he understands well the points that Minister Nakasone mentioned, that the lawsuit brought against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is related to the violation of law by a U.S. citizen who intruded into her house, that the Government of Myanmar is managing the issue in accordance with relevant laws, and that the crime and the sentence will be decided by the special court. He also stated that the health condition of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the United States citizen are fine, and that the Government of Myanmar is giving proper consideration by providing a special group of doctors attending them. In addition, Minister U Nyan Win stated that the Government of Myanmar is making efforts so that it would have a good relationship with countries concerned like Japan, the United States and European countries, and that he would convey the words of Minister Nakasone to the leaders of the Government.

Clinton Calls Trial of Aung San Suu Kyi Outrageous
Clinton Calls Trial of Aung San Suu Kyi Outrageous
By David Gollust
State Department
20 May 2009
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Wednesday called the Burmese government's trial of Aung San Suu Kyi outrageous, and said its treatment of the democracy leader will render the country's planned elections next year illegitimate.
Clinton's comments on Burma, in two Senate hearings Wednesday on the State Department budget, were the strongest to date by the Obama administration on the latest prosecution of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The dissident figure, who has been under varying forms of detention most of the time since 1990, faces a possible five-year prison term for a bizarre incident earlier this month in which a U.S. citizen swam across a lake and entered the villa in central Rangoon where she is under house arrest.
Clinton said United States rejects the charge that Aung San Suu Kyi violated terms of her house arrest. She said the United States is trying to mobilize international pressure for her early release but acknowledged that prospects for persuading the reclusive military government to change course are uncertain.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Capitol Hill, 20 May 2009
"We don't know whether we will have any success in convincing them otherwise," said Hillary Clinton. "But it is outrageous that they are trying her, and that they continue to hold her because of her political popularity. And they intend to hold elections in 2010, which from the beginning will be illegitimate because of the way they have treated her."
Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy Party won national elections in 1990 but was barred by the military from taking power.
The 2010 elections will be the culmination of a so-called road map to democracy engineered by the government which excludes Aung San Suu Kyi, the 1991 Nobel Peace laureate, and would leave the military in control of key levers of power.
Clinton has discussed the issue with a number of Asian leaders including the secretary-general of ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and told senators she is heartened by the regional response though she did not elaborate.
She said she hoped the baseless trial of Aung San Suu Kyi will end with her speedy release and the restoration of a role by her and her party in the country's political life.
CLOSED DOOR TRAIL AND UN TOP HEAD WILL GO TO BURMA SOON
The regime had unexpectedly opened up the hearing at the notorious Insein prison on Wednesday in an apparent concession to fierce international criticism of the charges against the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
But it clamped down again Thursday, despite a warning from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the regime's "outrageous" treatment of the democracy icon and a pledge by UN chief Ban Ki-moon to visit the country.
"The press will not be allowed today. Only for one day were diplomats and press allowed," a Burma official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
About 30 members of her National League for Democracy party, including the country's former longest serving political prisoner, Win Tin, kept up a vigil outside the prison as the trial resumed, witnesses said.
Aung San Suu Kyi faces up to five years in jail if convicted of charges of breaching her house arrest, which stem from an incident earlier this month when an American man, John Yettaw, swam to her lakeside house.
A smiling, healthy-looking Aung San Suu Kyi, 63, had thanked diplomats for coming to the trial on Wednesday and said she hoped to meet them again in "better days."
Authorities allowed one diplomat from each of the 30 foreign embassies in Rangoon to attend the proceedings on Wednesday along with 10 journalists from local and foreign organisations.
Aung San Suu Kyi later met envoys from Thailand, Singapore and Russia, expressing hope that "it was not too late for something good to come out of this unfortunate incident," a Singapore government statement said.

UN TOP HEAD
BAN KI-MOON
WILL GO TO
BURMA SOON
Critics say the junta wants to keep her locked up ahead of elections planned for next year under a controversial "roadmap to democracy" that enshrines a role for the military in government.
In Washington, Clinton said the regime's treatment of Aung San Suu Kyi would automatically make the polls "illegitimate because of the way that they have treated her."
She added that it was "outrageous that they are trying her and that they continue to hold her because of her political popularity and they intend to hold elections in 2010."
UN chief Ban said he was "deeply concerned" about the situation in Myammar and said he would bring up the issue with junta leader Senior General Than Shwe.
"I'm going to visit Burma as soon as possible. Now I am very serious in discussing with (the) government of Burma when I could be able to visit Burma," he told CNN.
A western diplomat in Rangoon said however that the regime's strategy in the past had been to make as few concessions as possible when faced with international outrage, and then close up again when the pressure eases.
The junta did the same amid global anger over its crackdown on monk-led prote
sts in 2007 and its handling of the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis in 2008, the diplomat said.
The regime refused to recognise a landslide victory by Aung San Suu Kyi's party in the last elections to be held in Burma in 1990. The military has ruled Burma since 1962.

US intruder said Myanmar's Suu Kyi 'scared'
An American who swam to the house of Myanmar democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi said that she seemed "scared" of him, her trial heard Thursday as the junta again barred media and diplomats from the court.
Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged with breaching her house arrest
Police at the trial played video footage that John Yettaw had filmed of himself inside the 63-year-old's lakeside home, where he spent two days earlier this month, said a spokesman for her National League for Democracy party.
Yettaw's bizarre intrusion led to Aung San Suu Kyi being charged with violating her house arrest, in a case that has provoked international outrage and calls for Myanmar's military regime to free her immediately.
"There was no other person except Yettaw himself in the video. He said that he had arrived at Aung San Suu Kyi's house," said NLD spokesman Nyan Win, who was inside the trial at the notorious Insein prison near Yangon.
The video showed the burly Yettaw standing in front of a picture of Aung San Suu Kyi's father, General Aung San, the country's independence hero, and speaking to the camera, Nyan Win said.
"He said he had asked her for permission to take photos, but she refused. She seemed scared, so he said he felt sorry because of that," he said, adding that the video lasted about two hours and was translated into Burmese.
Yettaw, 53, and two female political aides who live with Aung San Suu Kyi are also on trial.
Myanmar authorities had unexpectedly allowed diplomats and journalists to attend the trial for the first time on Wednesday, but abruptly announced on Thursday that the hearings would be back behind closed doors again.
A smiling, healthy-looking Aung San Suu Kyi had thanked diplomats for coming on Wednesday and said she hoped to meet them again in "better days." Footage of her was later shown on state television.
She later met envoys from Thailand, Singapore and Russia, expressing hope that "it was not too late for something good to come out of this unfortunate incident," a Singapore government statement said.
The regime has kept the Nobel Peace Prize winner in detention for 13 of the past 19 years. It filed the charges against her just weeks before a May 27 deadline when her latest six-year spell of detention expires.
Critics say the junta wants to keep her locked up ahead of elections planned for next year under a controversial "roadmap to democracy" that enshrines a role for the military in government.
The regime's opening up of the trial had appeared to be a small concession to mounting global anger, but in Washington, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said its treatment of Aung San Suu Kyi was "outrageous".
Clinton said the regime's treatment of Aung San Suu Kyi would automatically make the 2010 polls "illegitimate because of the way that they have treated her."
UN chief Ban Ki-moon meanwhile said he was "deeply concerned" about the situation in Myanmar and said he would bring up the issue with junta leader Senior General Than Shwe.
"I'm going to visit Myanmar as soon as possible. Now I am very serious in discussing with (the) government of Myanmar when I could be able to visit Myanmar," he told CNN.
Leading international jurists called for the UN Security Council to follow the precedent of Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia and hold an inquiry in Myanmar, saying the regime could be guilty of crimes against humanity.
"With Burma, there has been no such action from the UN Security Council despite being similarly aware of the widespread and systematic nature of the violations," said the report published by Harvard Law School, using Myanmar's former name.
The regime refused to recognise a landslide victory by the NLD in the last elections to be held in Myanmar in 1990. The military has ruled Myanmar since 1962.

30 May Demonstration Solidarity
Memorial Day Weekend in the United States of American is a day when we remember the fallen that’ve died fighting for our freedom and democracy. These men and women pray the ultimate price so future generations could live with liberty. They are the heroes of our nation. Burma is a land full of heroes that died for the sake of freedom and democracy. The innocent villager who killed while tending his crops is a hero as well fore he died in the service of his family. Both the freedom fighter and the farmer share one desire and that’s only to be free.
For those who don’t know about the Depaeyin Massacre, on 30 May 2003, 2 miles outside of Depaeyin Township a junta lead mob of about 5,000 of anti-NLD protesters assaulted Aung San Suu Kyi’s convoy and a crowd of NLD supported killing hundreds of innocent people. With bamboo sticks organized thugs beat and maimed unarmed supporters who came to listen to Daw Aung Suu Kyi. Government officials directed the assault while police assisted the attackers in this needless blood bath.
Later after the assault police arrested all the survivors including Daw Aung Suu Kyi who was the actual target of this thinly masked assassination attempt. In the bloody aftermath 80 or more NLD members and associates where beaten to death and disfigured in this ghoulish and barbaric junta staged ambush. Everybody who died on that fateful day died for democracy and many died protecting Aung San Suu Kyi. Ironically, America’s Memorial Day falls on 30 May as well.
America’s freedom and democracy was hard fought and many sacrifices were made so future generations could live in a land with liberty and freedom. Our democracy is fiercely guarded and we’ve taken full responsibility for its protection and preservation. American’s all have a stake our democracy fore we are vigilant and know that we may have to pay the ultimate price once again.
At this juncture in time Burma is poised to make history. The dynamics of the current situation in Burma is at a breaking point. It is inevitability and Burma’s future to alter its destiny. The bonds that restrained her have long since rotted away and can no longer repress the desire to be free. Burma is enslaved by an illusion and random acts of tyranny designed to give the illusion of absolute control when in reality it masks the junta’s fear. The junta fears Aung San Suu Kyi fore she has rallied 10’s of millions of people where the military junta has only rallied a fraction of the population. The junta is outnumbered 80/20 in the population and that does not include cease fire groups. It is time for the Fighting Peacock to awaken; it is time for Burma to be free and it is time Daw Aung Suu Kyi is freed from bondage as well as all the political prisoners.
30 May is more than a demonstration it’s a show of solidarity. The eyes of the world are on Burma like never before. Wearing white and gathering in tea shops for peaceful demonstration will show the world that democracy is still in the hearts of Burmese the people. To stand in peaceful demonstration is to stand along side Daw Aung Suu Kyi letting her know she is not alone and her sacrifice is not in vane.

Demonstration in Burma May 30th
Demonstration in Burma May 30th

20 May 2009
Pro Democracy activists inside Burma what the world and their fellow countrymen to know that May 30th is the day the Fighting Peacock will arise in a National Demonstration. The world must know that the trial being held in Burma is a violation of Burma’s law. Than Shwe is making a mockery of his own rules in an effort to “fix” the illegal election on 2010 with his paranoid attempt to silence Aung San Suu Kyi.
Symbolically May 30 marks the 6 year anniversary of the Depaeyin Massacre when the military junta tired to assassinate Daw Aung Suu Kyi. Fortunately she survived only to be placed under arrest. But for hundreds of her followers their fate was met with bloodshed since they were beaten to death by junta thugs.
Sources within Burma request that in a show of solidarity that everyone wear white and gather at tea shops. Suggested places to gather are Shwedagon Pagoda, Hledan Junction and Insein Prison. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi stands defiant and strong and has urged that the people overcome their fears. Freedom From Fear and a show of support by the people of Burma will show the world that the flame of democracy still burns brightly in the hearts of millions. The people of Burma call for Ban Ki-Moon to personally engage this growing crisis at this juncture. What is happening to Aung San Suu Kyi is a criminal offence and a violation of human rights and it is time for the UN and the world to make a stand on this issue.
The National League for Democracy clearly does not agree with the premise of this sham trial do to its unconstitutionality and blatant criminality. They urge world leaders to demand a public and open trial at the very least.
For the riot police, soldiers and generals within Burma it is time for you to stand by your people and stand for freedom against tyranny and fear. You can’t murder your own people in order to keep the peace when it is the military junta who has declared war on its own citizens. You can’t be a party to crimes against humanity any longer. The junta is moving troops into position as of this writing. The people of Burma ask their soldiers to stand with them instead of against them on this historic day or remembrance and not repeat the travesties Than Shwe perpetrated on his own people.
If a crisis arises from this peaceful demonstration it is urges that the pro democracy leaders inside of Burma assume their leadership roles that has been prescribed to them. The man of steel, U Win Tin, has been at the gates of Insein Prison from the onset in support of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Exercising Freedom From Fear he stands with thousands of other citizens so that Aung San Suu Kyi does not stand alone. Freedom From Fear means freedom from tyranny and repression.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is a victim of a heinous crime and it is being perpetrated before the eyes of the world. With raw courage she defiantly stands up to the junta and it is time for Burma to stand up for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
By request of pro democracy activists it is requested that this message be spread around the world so everyone will be aware that the cause for freedom and democracy is not dead but very much alive. It is time for Ban Ki-Moon, the UN and the world to get involved and demand that Aung San Suu Kyi be released from this criminal detention. It is time to take a stand for the people of Burma and the duly elected leader of this enslaved nation.

By request of pro democracy activists it is requested that this message be spread around the world so everyone will be aware that the cause for freedom and democracy is not dead but very much alive. It is time for Ban Ki-Moon, the UN and the world to get involved and demand that Aung San Suu Kyi be released from this criminal detention. It is time to take a stand for the people of Burma and the duly elected leader of this enslaved nation.
