May 31st, 2010
Dear friends,
Please see the play, “Once upon a time in Burma” which is performed by Burmese youths on the occasion of 20th Anniversary of 1990 Election Victory in Burma which reflects the current Burma-Global Political Situation.
Main Message of the Play
* Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is the legitimate elected leader of Burma
* 1990 election result will still valid until elected members of the parliament can found the government
* Gen. Than Shwe is putting all the people in the prison state
* People are dying
* People are starving
* People are longing for democracy
* Than Shwe is saying NO to whatever people want
* China agrees with whatever Than Shwe is doing
* US, UK, EU, & UN are impotence with junta
* All the people of Burma reject junta planned sham election “NO”
Background Information
On 27 May 1990, people of Burma voted for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as their leader. Instead of honouring the election result, junta put Daw Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest and suppressing on the dissidents intensified.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi once said that: “The results of these elections will remain valid until such time as the Members of Parliament elected in 1990 by the people have had a chance to get together and decide what the next step is going to be. The world has to make certain that the outcome of these elections is honoured”.
Again, junta is planning to hold the sham election in 2010. The essence of planning to hold election in 2010 is “to nullify 1990 election results, to legitimise military rule in Burma and to exclude Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and political activists in the Burma political process”.
There is no room for genuine democratic change in Burma due to junta’s planned 2010 election so that all the justice loving countries should stand together with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led legitimate leaders.
Let’s work together to show our solidarity with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led legitimate leaders of Burma.
Let’s BOYCOTT junta planned sham election, let’s REJECT junta’s planned sham 2010 election and its results.
Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
