Announcement of BAIJ emergency cong



(Translated from Original Burmese Language)

Dear Burmese Communities around the world;

In September some members of the Burmese Association in Japan submitted
themselves into the hands of Burmas ruling military junta, one of the world
s most repressive. They were chairwoman Mya Mya Win, vice-chairman Pan Hmwe
and member Win Naing (Mya Mya Wins relative). They and Tun Aye, BAIJ patron
and husband of Mya Mya Win, announced to the media in August, without the
approval of other executives and members of the BAIJ, that BAIJ supports the
current junta. The BAIJ has supported, is supporting and will continue to
support the democratic movement led by Aung San Suu Kyi.

In compliance with the letter dated 20th September 1998 from the members and
executive members of the BAIJ, I, Zaw Win, Secretary of the BAIJ, requested
chairwoman Mya Mya Win by fax on October 4, 1998 to call an emergency
meeting of all BAIJ executives and members. There has been no response from
the chairwoman however.

BAIJ executives and members say that Mya Mya Win, Win Naing and Tun Ayes
actions have been an insult to the BAIJ and a disgrace to prodemocracy
Burmese activists and therefore want to discuss their actions on 1998
October 18.

I have thus to announce that the emergency congress of BAIJ will be held on
1998 October 18 (Sunday) at the following time and place.

Date: 18th October 1998 (Sunday)
Time: BAIJ meeting is from 15:00 to 17:30pm
 Press release (gist of main decisions of the meeting, etc)
at17:30pm-18:00pm
Place: Waseda Hoshien Seminar House (Tel: 03-3205 5411)
 (Basement dinning hall)
 WASEDA HOSHIEN Seminar House, Nishiwaseda 2-3-1, Shinjuku-ku
 (5min walk from Subway TOZAI Line)

Thank You for your kind attention

(****** Signed)
Zaw Win
Secretary (BAIJ)
