Subject: Re: French Le Monde, Burma crisis/ AFP/ No French statement
from Dawn Star, Paris
The French national paper, Le Monde, cared only to give a few lines to
the worsening Burmese crisis, running the AFP information as follows:
translated into english here
BURMA/ The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights , Mr. Jose Alaya Lasso,
sent a formal protest to the Burmese junta against the arrest of dozens
of dissidents in Rangoon, declared a UN spokesman.
Mr. Lasso called in the Burmese ambassador to the UN, Mr. M Aye, to
express "his profound and strong preoccupation".
Not much, but what do you expect from the UN? -ed. UVI.net
Again, no mention in the French press of any French statement re Burma
crisis
