Response to News Release of IRI (r)
Hi U Okkar,
I know that you didn't write this statement but please tell the
SLORC that it was just a shameless lie as usual. I don't think I need
to examplize the cheating behaviours of SLORC.
Who is the real destructionist in Burma? People are fleeing from
their motherland because of the suppression by a group of power thirsty
generals. People inside have been crying for democracy and the
democratic rules.
If they have brain to think, it is very obvious that who has the
guns and who killed the people by all means. Haven't they remembered
their words? A general stated that civilians was killed by his troops
in the fighting and they couldn't avoid killing people in the war. Who
recently killed about 60 shan villagers recently? Have you ever heard
that NLD possesses a gun or an explosive? Only SLORC possesses those
dangerous things and always threaten the people to arrest and kill and
its characters are really like the characters of the dog from the
hell. What does Daw Aung San Suu Kyi say is just to make dialogue.
What does SLORC always say is arrest, kill, suppress, and so on. Who is
the terrorist?
Don't try to bark all around!
