Statement of Support
The Alternative Asean Network on Burma (Altsean-Burma) expresses its
strongest support and solidarity to the peoples of Indonesia on this
National Day of Awakening.
It is hoped that Indonesia?s National Day of Awakening would also awaken
the rest of the region to the fact that human rights and democracy are
essential to long-term stability and sustainable growth.
Altsean-Burma urges the governments of all Asean member states,
particularly the government of Indonesia, to ensure that the wishes of
the peoples of Indonesia, including indigenous communities are respected
and fulfilled as soon as possible without further bloodshed.
Altsean-Burma also reminds Asean member states that the grouping?s
policy of so-called ?non-interference? has contributed to the worsening
crisis in Indonesia. It is time to realise that the effects of
widespread human rights violations, corruption and authoritarianism
respects no boundaries.
