Subject: The Update!

#I would like to give you an update on EU trade sanction campaign.
 
#The European Union has answered the call from Denmark, its member country.

#In a statement distributed on Monday, EU president Ireland said it wanted
``a full and satisfactory explanation'' of Nichols's death. It also called
for an investigation by the United Nations.

#Denmark, outraged by the death of Mr. Nichols, has been campaigning for 
sanctions against Burma. 

#The campaign is joined by

(a) Most of the 15 EU-member-countries
(b) Outside EU countries
    such as (1) USA
            (2) Norway
            (3) some East European countries

#The EU statement said it was deeply concerned by what it said was a
continuing deterioration of the political situation in Burma.

#It called for the release of detained NLD members, including U Aye Win and
U Win Htein, and ``all political prisoners.''

#The statemenst cited the EU's concern about restrictions ``on the
fundamental rights of freedom of speech, movement and association.''

#In addition to the call for EU trade sanction, Denmark is calling for
	
	* an investigation by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on 
	  Myanmar into the death of Mr. James Leander Nichols

	* a further tightening of the conditions for granting 
	  development assistance to Myanmar through international 
	  organizations

	* a visit to Myanmar by the United Nations Special Working Group 
	  on Arbitrary Detention and Imprisonment, and

	* the United Nations High Commissionner on Human Rights to take  
	  action against Myanmar.


# We continue (1) person to person lobbying approach (2) open letter 
faxing to EU Ministers, and (3) make petition to EU commission and 
the parliament.

# Followings are the fax numbers of the Foreign Ministers of the EU member 
countries. Please express your concern on this EU trade sanction and try 
to pin point why and how much it is important to Burma and its people.
 

Thanking you for participation.
