In urgent request to UN Security Council to act!

RE: ATROCITIES IN BURMA

Dear Mr. Secretary,

While we are thankful to you for the strong statements that have been issued in connection with the barbaric behavior of the military junta in Burma, the time has come for the United Nation Security Council to take action in a stronger and more effective way against the illegal actions of the odious regime in Burma.

The military dictatorship of the Union of Burma, in defiance of the will of its Peoples, as overwhelmingly expressed in the elections of 1990, has once again bared its true and ugly face to the world, by staging the National Convention without the opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and people elected NLD party.

The said lawless dictatorship is responsible for :

-- fostering and promoting, over many years, systematic atrocities and gross human rights abuses including the murder of innocent civilians of all ages and both sexes, wholesale burning of villages and crops, looting and expropriation of property, and slavery;

-- the indefinite detention under inhumane conditions, of more than one thousand persons who have expressed their support for democracy;

-- political, economic and military instability in the Region.

No amount of the regime's habitual lies and deceit can hide these facts.

We, the undersigned, therefore call upon the United Nation Security Council, to support by all and every means that may be necessary the removal of the Burmese junta and its replacement by democratic rule.

Let there be no respite in the measures, no relaxing of our efforts, until this object has been fully achieved.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned
