Conference expresses its deep concern that the leader of Burma’s democracy movement, Nobel Prize winner Aung Sun Suu Kyi, has now spent more than nine years under house arrest.
Confernce notes that there are currently serious questions about her personal secruity; observes that, despite Burma’s military dictatorship announcing several initiatives to move towards democracy, prospects for democracy in Burma are a distant as ever.
Conference further notes that there has not been a single democratic political reform in the past 15 years.
Conference calls on the NBMC to liase with UNISON International Department and NAPF to inform our UNISON Link MPs for the immediate release of Aung Sun Suu Kyi and all political prisoners in Burma.
