"The continued harassment and detention of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi demonstrates the SPDC?s ambitions to silence Burma?s greatest hope for peace. Daw Suu does not threaten the generals who control Burma. In fact, she is their best hope. For over 20 years Daw Suu has exhibited an unwavering commitment to non-violence and dialogue with Burma?s military regime. In light of the junta?s repressive behavior, Daw Suu?s moderate voice and calls for national reconciliation are the true beacon of hope for Burma?s people and must not be overlooked. Political change in Burma is inevitable, as is the transition of power from the generals to a civilian government. A prominent figure of the democracy movement, Daw Suu commends widespread respect from Burma?s citizens, ethnic nationalities, and even within the armed forces. It is this common admiration that places Daw Suu in the unique position to peacefully guide democratic transition addressing the concerns of all parties. For a peaceful transition to democracy to take place in Burma, the junta must immediately release Daw Suu and engage in a sincere and inclusive dialogue regarding Burma?s political future. The junta must embrace Daw Suu?s calls for ?reconciliation and progress towards a situation in which we can all participate together for the good of the future.”"
