Burma Democracy Activists Around the World: Message from U Khin Maung Kyi -- Former Burmese Diplomat

Dear all activists

Myanmar Association ( UK ) in London is being sponsored by the Burmese Ambassador Maj-Gen.Nay Win long ago. This MAUK is pro-SPDC and a military related association. Please see the link at http://www.myanmarnet.co.uk/

This is unlawful association in London. Maj-Gen.Nay Win, who is the Ambassador of the Embassy of the Union of Burma is in charge of the sale of tickets for Myanmar Association ( UK ), Myanmar Anyeint & Music Concert hold on 31st July 2010 at Cophland Community College,Cecil Avenue , Wembley. HA9 7DU, London, during office hours in Embassy premises.

According to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, article 55-Sec 2, the consular premises shall not be used in any manner incompatible with the exercise of consular functions. Also in article 57-Sec 1 , it is clearly stated the career consular officers shall not carry out any professional or commercial activity in the receiving state.

Our view to this matter is also that this group falls into the third category ( personnel benefiting from the SPDC ) and should be banned from entering the European Community countries.

To avoid the ban of European Community visa to those benefiting from SPDC, the Burmese Ambassador of UK have used Burmese doctors residing in UK to sponsor the Burmese singers and dancers to acquire vistor visas to enter UK. Also the Burmese singers and dancers have no right to perform without UK work permit and they no right to sell tickets without VAT and Commercial taxes.

Sincerely yours

U Khin Maung Kyi
Former Burmese Diplomat and on behalf Burmese Community ( UK )
