INDIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS CALL FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
and
Intervention of the Indian Government for the restoration of Democracy in Burma
Dear Media-friends,
As you are well aware, the Burmese democracy leader and winner of Jawaharlal Nehru International Outstanding Award, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, was moved to the notorious Insein Prison from her house to face trial on trumped-up charges by the military authority on 14 May 2009.
The people of Burma recognized her as genuine democratic leader of Burma who won landslide victory in 1990 general elections by more than 80 % votes. She and her party NLD has never been allowed to rule the country. The military junta crushed the people's mandate and put her under house arrest for 13 of the past 19 years.
The Indian Parliamentarian Forum for Democracy in Burma (IPFDB) formed by late Ms. Nirmala Deshpande initiated "Indian MPs Call for Immediate and Unconditional Release of Burmese Democratic Leader Aung San Suu Kyi".
The Statement endorsed and supported by the Indian Parliamentarians will be submitted to the Honorable Prime Minister of India, External Affairs Minister and Burmese Embassy in Delhi on 10th June 2009.
A press conference will be organized on the same day as per schedule given below
