NCUB Statement on Blocking of Daw A



NCUB Statement on Blocking of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi by SPDC

Since 24-7-98, the SPDC has been blocking the way of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi,
General Secretary of the NLD, who was travelling to Bassein, at Anyazu
village near Nyaungdon town. This is third time that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
has been obstructed in her movement, illegally, by the SPDC, within a span
of 22 days.

1. The obstruction of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been an extreme act of
lawlessness or indecency, on the part of SPDC. For that reason, we, the
NCUB, strongly protest and condemn the act. 

2. The SPDC and its lackeys, the USDA, have been systematically
obstructing, intimidating and trying to harm Daw Suu physically, by various
means. The SPDC and its lackeys must be held totally responsible, if these
acts affect the health or cause bodily harm or endanger the life of Daw Suu.

3. At the same time as the SPDC and its lackeys are obstructing and
intimidating Daw Suu, they are spreading the false propaganda and
accusation that she is bent on confrontation, or creating tension and
instability in the country. Confrontational situation, or the instability
and tension in the country are caused neither by Daw Suu, the NLD led by
Daw Suu, the students, the Buddhist monks nor the general public. They are
caused entirely by the power-mad SPDC military. It must take all the
responsibility for the deteriorating situation.

4. As a matter of urgency, we, the NCUB, would like to urge the people,
comprising of various nationalities, the students, Buddhist monks,
patriotic political parties, patriotic personages, patriotic members of the
armed forces, civil servants, workers, farmers and the intellectuals to
raise the struggle against the SPDC military and to unanimously assist and
support Daw Suu. At the same time, we would like to call upon all the
democratic governments of the world, the people, the NGOs to denounce the
barbarous acts the SPDC and pressure it for the resolution of political
problems by political means.
