THE PREMIER OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA
State Administration Centre
200 Victorai Square
Adelaide 5000
South Australia

Dr U Ne Oo
48/2 Ayliffes Road
ST MARYS SA 5042

Dear Dr Oo,

Thank you for your letter of 16 June 1995 concerning the Burma Human Rights
Campaign in Adelaide.

Freedom  of choice, freedom of speech and political freedom are basic human
rights which the South Australian Government is committed to  upholding  as
well  as  the  principles  of  equality  and  democracy  and  we  join  the
international community in rejoicing in the release last week of  Daw  Aung
San Suu Kyi.

I  understand  that  the  Australian  Government is currently reviewing its
policy approach in relation to the human rights situation in Myanmar before
discussing the issue again with ASEAN and  its  dialogue  partners  at  the
annual round of Ministerial meetings in August.

It  is  hoped,  therefore,  that  continued pressure from the international
community will meet with success and that  all  citizens  of  Myanmar  will
enjoy the political freedom which is the right of everyone.

Yours sincerely
Sd. Dean Brown MP
Premier
Minister for Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs
