August 22, 1998


<bigger>=AB In addition to rejecting the NLD's demand for convening
parliament by the 21st of August, the SPDC has been pressuring,
persecuting and obstructing the NLD leaders and the members of
parliament-elect, by various means. This means that the SPDC has
viciously suppressed the will of the people.

=AB As the way in her trip is being blocked cold-bloodedly by the SPDC, Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi has to stop on the way for 10 days now, resulting in the
decline of her health. We, the NCUB, are much concerned about this
development. The SPDC will be totally held responsible, if there is any
transgression against her security or further deterioration in her
health.

=AB We support the 12-point statement issued by the NLD on 21-8-98. The
agenda of the NLD to convene parliament, on its own in the near future,
comprising also of members of parliament-elect of the ethnic
nationalities, is an absolutely just and sensible approach. For that
reason, we, the NCUB, exhort the entire people, including the ethnic
nationalities, Buddhist monks, youths, students, civil servants, business
people, political parties, patriots, the educated and members of the
armed forces, from this date onwards, to boldly, explicitly, unitedly and
orderly support the NLD's endeavor to convene parliament.
