May 27, The Nation - Women outraged over Suu Kyi detention
Ignoring the global call for her release, the Burmese junta continues to
hide "The Lady" from the eyes of the world for another year.
"This is a crime, a crime against humanity. I am really concerned for her
safety. I hope that there will be some 'brave soldiers' in the Burmese
army to stop such crimes and protect her," Hseng Noung of the Shan Women's
Action Network said yesterday.
These "brave soldiers", Hseng Noung said, should also engage in a dialogue
with the democratic opposition that includes ethnic nationalities to work
out a political solution.
The longer the State Peace and Development Council holds absolute power,
the cycle of suffering in Burma will continue. It is also about time for
the international community to find coordinated approaches to deal with
military dictatorship in Burma, she said. "The extension of her detention is
unlawful. She shouldn't even be under
house arrest in the first place. She is defending human rights, not
committing a crime," Nang Yain, secretary-general of the Women's League of
Burma, said from the border.
