Statement on convicting Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
August 16, 2009
We, overseas Mon organizations, strongly condemn the Burmese military regime for convicting Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and sentencing her to a further 18 months of house arrest. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi should have never been tried in the first place. The regime’s verdict is designed to prevent her from participating in the upcoming 2010 election. The conviction of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi shows the true color of the regime that it is not interested in national reconciliation.
We thank the international community for standing with the people of Burma and for strong condemnation of the Burmese regime. We also thank to the UNSC for taking action on the issue, but we expected that the action could have been more resolute. We are saddened by that China and other like-minded countries failed to condemn the regime.
We urge the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council to impose a tougher targeted sanctions and global arms embargo against the military regime.
