AID TO BURMA BREWS OUTRAGE
Burmese dissidents aborad expressed outrage at Japan's release of aid to
their
military-ruled country in a joint statement Monday, exactly 50 years after a
systematic
campaign was initiated to rout the invading Japanese Imperial Army.
The statement from 10 groups in five countries said, "If Japan truly has
the
interests of the Myanmar ( Burmese ) people in mind, it should recognize that
the only
humanitarian aid to Myanmar ( Burma ) is ' no aid to SLORC,' " referring to
the military
government of Burma known as the State Law and Order Restoration Council.
Japan Friday extended Burma a grant-in-aid of 4 billion Yen as debt relief
measure.
Asking Japan to withhold aid to Burma, about 50 dissidents rellied past
the Burmese
Embassy in Tokyo, which was celebrating the 50th anniversary of Burma's Armed
Forces Day.
