MEDIA RELEASE


2 October 1999,  11:30 A.M. 
22 Arkana St.,  Yaralumla,  Canberra, Australia

Attention:  	Chief of Staff
		International Political Desk 

Since the 8888 nationwide uprising, the wave of democracy movement to end
the military dictatorship and to restore democracy and human rights in
Burma has continually expanded.  

People in Burma are denied basic human rights. Thousands of political
prisoners including elected Member of Parliament, students and peoples from
all walks of life are still held in detention.  The State Peace and
Development Council (SPDC) ignored the 1990 election results and
continually refused to recognize the Committee Representing People's
Parliament (CRPP), acting under the delegated authority of 251 elected
Member of the Parliament, as the legitimate authority body to realize the
democratic will of the people of Burma.

We are here today to express our strongest support for the struggle for
restoration of democracy in Burma and to continue our efforts to draw the
attention of international community the appalling human rights abuses that
are systematically carried out in Burma, under the oppressive SPDC military
regime since 1962.

We urge the international community to give more support to pro-democracy
movement inside and outside Burma.  We especially urge people in Burma who
love democracy and respect human rights to unify and strive for our common
cause for a free and democratic Burma.  We, particularly, call the
international community to impose greater economic sanction against the SPDC.

We demand that the military junta in Burma,

- Unconditionally and immediately release all political prisoners,
- Recognise and enter dialogue with CRPP, and
- Allow CRPP to convene the People's Parliament.
