[burmanet2-l] BBC-British woman rep (r)



Subject: Re: [burmanet2-l] BBC-British woman reportedly arrested in Burma 

It is clear that not only the British, but also the entire world wants
the SPDC to step down from the power, stop repression, free all
political prisoners, and to re-open all schools.

It is more shameful that 47 miilion Burmese has been enslaved by  a
group of its own  military thugs for more than tree decades.
