စုေုေပါင္း္း ေၾကျငာခ်က္ (၃/၂ဝဝ၉)
ေန႔စြဲ ၂၀၀၉ ခုႏွစ္ ၊ ေမလ (၁၅) ရက္
ဗိုလ္ခ်ဳပ္သန္းေရႊ Uီးေဆာင္တဲ႔ နAဖ စစ္ေခါင္းေဆာင္မ်ားAေနနဲ႔ ေဒၚေAာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ကို မတရားခံုရုံးတင္ စစ္ေဆး
ေနျခင္းနဲ႔ပါတ္သတ္ျပီး ကၽြႏု္ပ္တို႔ ျပည္တြင္းျပည္ပရွိ Aဖြဲ႔Aစည္းစုစုေပါင္း (၇၁) ဖြဲ႔မွ ျပင္းထန္စြာ ကန္႔ကြက္သည္။
Aေမရီကန္နိဳင္ငံသား ဂြ်န္ေဝလီယန္ယက္ေတာ္ ေနAိမ္Aက်ယ္ခ်ဳပ္နဲ႔ ထိန္းသိမ္းခံထားရတဲ႔ ေဒၚေAာင္ဆန္း စုၾကည္ရဲ႕

Burma: Release of Aung San Suu Kyi and Other Political Prisoners

QUESTION: Switch to Burma? Do you have anything more to say than just that you’re troubled by the apparent charges against Aung San Suu Kyi?
MR. KELLY: Well, you know, I think I am ready to say something more than just that we’re troubled. I think that our bottom line is that she shouldn’t be under house arrest, she shouldn’t be – and even less so in prison. Our bottom line is she should be released immediately. So I’ll say that. And then Secretary Clinton, in a couple hours, as I said before, will be addressing – will have a press availability, and she’ll have more to say about it.
QUESTION: Can you tell us if there have been any contacts with the Burmese Government about this?
MR. KELLY: I do know that the Embassy in Rangoon has had contacts with the government. The initial response, of course, was to seek confirmation of the reports that we saw and also to – just to get further information on the charges. And of course, we have been constantly calling for – both publicly and privately in diplomatic channels, for the release of Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi and the other political prisoners. I understand there’s more than 2,100 political prisoners.
QUESTION: And can you say that the Embassy indeed repeated that in their contacts, other than just seeking --
MR. KELLY: I feel very confident in saying that they said something almost exactly like that.
QUESTION: Ian, do you expect that the Secretary will – I mean, that she will – unprovoked, will talk about Aung San Suu Kyi, considering the fact that she’s meeting with the Malaysian foreign minister and, you know, Malaysia plays a big part in ASEAN?
MR. KELLY: Yeah, I feel very confident that at the top of her press availability she will have some comments about this.
QUESTION: And can you say what – maybe not because the meeting hasn’t happened yet, but what you – what it is you’re looking for ASEAN to do in this case?
MR. KELLY: Well, I think in this case, of course, this has been a real concern of us for many years, and we’ve used both bilateral channels and we’ve used a number of multilateral channels. I’m not prepared to say exactly what we would ask ASEAN to do, though.
Sylvie.
QUESTION: I understand you had consular access to the guy who went into her house, John Yettaw. Can you tell us a little bit about him? And, apparently, it’s not the first time it happens. Can you confirm that?
MR. KELLY: You know, really, I think all I can confirm, because this is a private American citizen, is that he had a hearing at the prison special court. It’s the – fortunately or unfortunately named – Insein Prison in Rangoon. And this was related to his reported entry into the residence of Aung San Suu Kyi. And the Burmese authorities did grant an Embassy consular officer access to the courtroom to observe his hearing. And that’s what I’ve got.
QUESTION: And that was when? When was that hearing?
MR. KELLY: That was today.
QUESTION: Did they get to speak to him, or they were allowed out into the courtroom to observe the hearing?
MR. KELLY: I don’t know if they were able to speak to him or not. I know they were allowed into the hearing.
QUESTION: Can you tell us about the hearing and whether he was charged or anything about the proceeding?
MR. KELLY: No, I don’t have details of that, I’m afraid.
QUESTION: And is the first time this incident – these kind of things happens? Is it the first time this guy goes to Burma?

Senior General Than Shwe
Naypidaw
Burma

Dear Senior General Than Shwe:

We are writing this public letter to call for the immediate release of the worldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Her most recent term of house arrest is scheduled to end on May 27, 2007.

On January 8, 2007, new United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on you to release Aung San Suu Kyi. May 27, 2007 affords an excellent opportunity to respond to his request.

Indeed, the UN General Assembly, former UN Commission on Human Rights, ASEAN, European Union, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan and many other countries have all called for Aung San Suu KyiÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s immediate release.

The 2006 UN General Assembly resolution on Burma, which passed overwhelmingly, expressed Ã¢â‚¬Å“grave concernÃ¢â‚¬Â at the Ã¢â‚¬Å“extension of the house arrest of the General Secretary of the National League for Democracy, Aung San Suu KyiÃ¢â‚¬Â and strongly called upon your government to Ã¢â‚¬Å“to release all political prisoners immediately and unconditionally, including National League for Democracy leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and U Tin Oo.Ã¢â‚¬Â

Aung San Suu Kyi is not calling for revolution in Burma , but rather peaceful, nonviolent dialogue between the military, National League for Democracy, and Burma Ã¢â‚¬â„¢s ethnic groups. The U General Assembly resolution, and 15 previous resolutions also support this approach.

We strongly urge you to respond to the United Nations and countless other countries and regional groupings around the world by releasing Aung San Suu Kyi before May 27th and committing to participate in peaceful, tripartite dialogue as outlined by the General Assembly.

Sincerely,

Signed

Anwar Ibrahim
Former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia (1993-1998)

SINGAPORE VOICES DISMAY OVER SUU KYI’S ARREST

By Zakaria Abdul Wahab Bernama - Friday, May 15
SINGAPORE, May 15 (Bernama) -- Singapore today voiced its dismay over the Myanmar military government's action to file fresh charges against the country’s detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

"This is a setback for the national reconciliation process," the Foreign Affairs Ministry said of its fellow member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).

In a statement, Singapore said it was dismayed by this latest development, and called on the Myanmar government to release Suu Kyi from detention.

The republic said it was also concerned about recent reports on the 63-year-old Nobel Peace prize winner’s poor health, and that the arrest might exacerbate Suu Kyi’s condition.

Suu Kyi was charged yesterday with violating the terms of her house arrest after an American man was caught swimming away from her lake house across Inya Lake in Yangon this month.

The Nobel Peace laureate has been under detention for over a decade now by the Myanmar authorities for breaching strict state security laws.
