Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) warmly welcomes PM Gordon Brown calls for an urgent UN meeting.
The PM said: “Burma has ignored the demands of the UN Security Council, the UN Secretary General, the US, EU and its own neighbours by imposing restrictive and unfair terms on elections. The targeting of Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD is particularly vindictive and callous. I have today written to the UN Secretary General to call for an urgent meeting in New York to discuss these developments”.
Myo Thein, the Director at the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) said “We are very encouraged to learn Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s support for democratization of Burma. He plays leading role in supporting Burma democracy movement. Mr Brown takes timely action calling for the UN urgent meeting; I hope it will send the clear message to repressive regime in Burma that the world is ready to stand by with oppressed people of Burma and (Daw) Aung San Suu Kyi. Mr Brown is the hero for democratization of Burma”.
The PM calls for the urgent UN meeting follows after Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) on 11 March 2010 calls for United Nations Security Council to convene emergency meeting.

The recent so-called electoral laws show clearly that ruling junta doesn’t have the will to see national reconciliation in Burma. UNSC must take pro-active action decisively and collectively in order to intervene Burma crisis so as to avoid total devastating in Burma. Now Burma democratic and ethnics’ leaders are calling for to form “Interim Government” led by Aung San Suu Kyi and elected MPs of 1990 election.
“If should Aung San Suu Kyi led “Interim Government” be formed the world must be ready to recognize them as the legitimate government of Burma”, added Myo Thein.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for UNSC Emergency Meeting: Time to take immediate action
11 March 2010
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for United Nations Security Council to convene emergency meeting since Burma crisis is in very critical situation. We must take action decisively and collectively in order to intervene Burma crisis so as to avoid total devastating.
Burmese junta is fully geared up to extinguish democracy, human rights and rule of law in Burma. Junta is touching its final brush to eliminate all the democratic voices by issuing its so-called the electoral law on 8 March 2010 which effectively turning their back on national reconciliation in Burma.

No indication Myanmar will release prisoners ahead of elections – UN rights expert
15 March 2010 – An independent United Nations human rights expert who recently visited Myanmar said today that there is no indication that the Government is willing to release political prisoners ahead of national elections scheduled for later this year.
Tomás Ojea Quintana, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, had stated prior to his 15-19 February visit that the elections should be fair and transparent, that freedom of speech, movement and association should be guaranteed in the country, and that all prisoners of conscience should be released before the polls so they can be as inclusive as possible.
“Without full participation, including by the some 2,100 prisoners of conscience, and an environment that allows people and parties to engage in the range of electoral activities, the elections cannot be credible,” he said today, as he presented his report to the 47-member Human Rights Council in Geneva.

United Nations must enforce military Junta to honour the 1990 election result now, not another 2010 election in Burma
United Nations must enforce military Junta to honour the 1990 election result now, not another 2010 election in Burma
BDC -27 March 2008-Press Release
Burma Democratic Concern today called for United Nations to change their stand on Burma. They must have the clear vision. Military Regime declared to hold the referendum in May 2008. The regime manipulated the international community and misled by declaring the new election which will be taken place in 2010. United Nations seem to deem its vision on Burma by asking for inclusive 2010 election and transparent 2008 referendum.
“If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. It must be recognized by the military regime, as it has been recognized by the people, and by the world at large. It is through this recognition that we will be able to make genuine progress in Burma. The results of the 1990 General Elections must be implemented is a resolution already taken by the United Nations. We already know that the General Assembly of the United Nations has accepted the notion that the will of the people has been expressed in the 1990 General Elections. This is something we cannot abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it", once Daw Aung San Suu Kyi insisted.
A tremendous responsibility rests upon the United Nations Organisation to a far better end, and we are looking for a more positive and bolder lead of the United Nations. "The military regime is clearly ignoring the results of the 1990 elections and now it is questionable that United Nations is following their footstep" said Myo Thein, director of Burma Democratic Concern in United Kingdom.
"People show their destiny, their will and sacrifice their lives. How many more lives need to sacrifice to take serious action on Burma? United Nations must enforce the military regime to recognize the 1990 election results and take action on it now "added Khin Maung Win, the director of Burma Democratic Concern in United States.
United Nations must push military regime to do time-bound genuine dialogue and press to transfer the power to NLD which won the election. "The Burma situation is like the circle, we need to break the chain and start the new era" said Kyaw Lin Oo, the director of Burma Democratic Concern in Thailand.

Election laws announced last week also state that her party must expel Suu Kyi if it wants to compete, and officially annul the result of Burma’s last elections in 1990, which the NLD won by a landslide.

Opposition party to decide on elections
Burma’s opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) party is to convene a plenary meeting with 120 senior members at the end of this month where they will likely decide on whether to run for elections this year.
The elections are beset by controversy, not least because detained NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi is barred from participating.
Election laws announced last week also state that her party must expel Suu Kyi if it wants to compete, and officially annul the result of Burma’s last elections in 1990, which the NLD won by a landslide.
The party’s 20-strong Central Executive Committee (CEC) met yesterday to formalise plans to hold the plenary meeting on 29 March, which will incorporate another 108 Central Committee (CC) members.
“We called a special joint CEC-CC meeting and discussed the laws recently announced by the [government] which are very crucial for us,” said CEC member Ohn Kyaing. “We brainstormed ways to make our stand and what to do.”
He said that the plenary meeting will include party members from different administrative regions in Burma and will decide on whether to register the party for elections, rumoured to be in October this year.
He added that the majority of the NLD’s 300 offices have been reopened and work had resumed after permission was granted by the government. The offices were closed in the wake of the 2003 Depayin massacre, in which 70 NLD supporters were beaten to death by a junta-backed mob.
But the government’s decision to allow the offices to reopen appears to conflict with election laws that much of the international community has condemned for the severe restrictions they place on opposition contenders.
The Philippines’ foreign secretary Alberto Romulo yesterday said that the laws were “contrary to the ‘road map to democracy’ that they [Burmese junta] pledged to [the Association of Southeast Asian Nations] and to the world”.
He added that he would directly press his Burmese counterpart, Nyan Win, during a meeting this week in Manila of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
