Burmese students appeals to UN to help stop arrests
The 88 Generation Students have appealed to the United Nations and the
international community to act in time to help stop the ongoing arrests in
Burma.
[Begin Htay Kywe recording] Many of us have already been arrested and it
is evident that there is no security and rule of law in Burma. It also
makes it very clear that there are political and economic hardships in
Burma.
We are endeavouring to enable the people of Burma to liberate themselves
from the life they are living now. We believe that the community of world
nations is observing these developments. Under such a situation, we wish
to extend our invitation to UN Special Envoy Mr Gambari to visit Burma.
Each and every citizen of Burma is a witness to the injustices, the acts
of oppression, and what is taking place now. The problems today are
associated not only with hikes in fuel oil prices but also with the
failure of the economic, administrative, and political systems and the
people of Burma are now showing that they want to see changes taking
place. [End recording]
That was Ko Htay Kywe of the 88 Generation Students.
He also invited the people to do their part in their given roles.
[Begin Htay Kywe recording] We, who are in the movement for democracy and
want to see a bright future, are sacrificing our life and welfare today. I
wish to invite all the people of Burma, including the ethnic
nationalities, to join our efforts. We have been promoting the rule of the
people's representatives who were elected in the 1990 elections. We are
extending our invitation to the representatives to join our efforts. [End
recording]
That was Ko Htay Kywe of the 88 Generation Students.
