Dear Mr President:
First of all, I would like to thank you for given me the opportunity to write to you. I am Myo Thein, a Burmese living in exile working for democratisation of Burma at the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).
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.
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.
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.
Please call for United Nations Security Council emergency meeting as soon as possible. Clock is ticking and we have no time to waste as junta will definitely deliver the verdict saying that Aung San Suu Kyi is guilty. Please call on junta to free Aung San Suu Kyi and thousands of political prisoners and demand to do dialogue immediately.
Russia’s role is critical in evolving positive change in Burma since it is a permanent member of United Nations Security Council. 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 which thousands of people lost their lives, thousands have been 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.
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.
We would be very grateful if you could add your voice for the freedom of Aung San Suu Kyi and to restore justice in Burma.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Myo Thein
Director
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC)
