Description:
"...This report sets out the vitally important role of Burma's political
prisoners in a process of national reconciliation, leading to democratic
transition. A genuine, inclusive process of national reconciliation is
urgently needed to resolve the current conflicts and make progress
towards peace and democracy.
A crucial first step in a national reconciliation process is official
recognition of ALL Burma's 2,100 plus political prisoners, accompanied
by their unconditional release. This is an essential part of trust-building
between the military rulers, democratic forces, and wider society. In
order for progress towards genuine national reconciliation and
democratic transition to be sustainable, ordinary people across Burma
must believe in the process. As long as activists remain in prison or
continue to be arrested for voicing their political dissent, the people of
Burma will have no trust in any political process proposed by the SPDC..."
