June 11, Irrawaddy - Pro-democracy activists threatened in state press
-
Htet Aung

Burma's prominent pro-democracy activists were threatened with
"punitive
punishment" if they continue political activities, an article in a
state-run newspaper reported Monday.

The leaders of the 88 Generation Students "will get punitive
punishment
imposed by the people soon.[which] may be much more severe than legal
action," according to an article titled "To national traitors under
the
name of students" written by Ko Ke in The New Light of Myanmar.

The article accused the former student leaders of "making a lot of
exaggerations and lies."

"They may meet their end," the article said.

Stories in the press frequently verbally attack the activists, but the
attack this time is considered to be more severe.

The 88 Generation Students, led by Min Ko Naing, has recently
undertaken
several peaceful public campaigns to encourage people to express their
views about life in Burma. A campaign is underway to create a petition
with more than 500,000 signatures.

"This article has proven that Burma is a lawless country," said Bo
Kyi, a
joint secretary of the Thailand-based Assistance Association for
Political
Prisoners (Burma) in response to the newest threat to the pro-
democracy
student leaders. "The military regime itself is breaking the law in
the
country," he said.

The group of 88 Generation Students declined to comment o­n the
article.
