Press Release

Today, 35 Burmese staged a protest demonstration in front of Burmese Embassy in New Delhi at around 11:00 am demanding:

- the immediate release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners;

- to allow and grant international aid workers and permit them unrestricted access to the affected areas

They also submitted a memorandum to U Khi Thein, the Ambassador of Burma Embassy in India requesting him to put pressure on the military led government.

The protesters shouted:

Free Free Free Burma

Free Free Aung San Suu Kyi

We want Democracy

They were holding placards written;

- "FREE AUNG SAN SUU KYI AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS"

- "FREE BURMA, STOP MILITARY RULE"

- "STOP TORTURE, KILLING, RAPE"

- "STOP RESTRICTION TO INTERNATIONAL AID-WORKERS"

- "SAVE CYCLONE VICTIMS"

- "ALLOW OPPOSITION POLITICAL MOVEMENT"


By using colour spray, the protesters wrote " FREE BURMA, FREE AUNG SAN SUU KYI, STOP KILLING on the wall of the embassy.

The protesters asserted that the military government decision on extension of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's detention by another one year is a breach of its own law and pledge. The protesters demand the immediately release of the Burmese democratic leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

The protesters expressed that a genuine political dialogue under the coordination and principle of UN and international community is their preferred means to solve the current conflicts and problems in Burma

The protesters accused the military government of making the natural tragedy to a MAN-MADE tragedy for having ignored international relief aids desperately needed by the cyclone victims.

Furthermore they demand for urgent action to be taken at present by military government is to allow and grant visa for international aid workers but also permit them unrestricted access into the affected Irrawaddy delta areas"

All the protesters managed to leave the area before the arrival of the Indian police.
