       World Youth plan actions on Anniversary of Burma's Uprising

New Delhi, August 6, 2001

The International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) has called on its
member organizations worldwide to organize actions on the coming 8th
August in support of democracy in Burma. The IUSY, which is made up of
more than 130 socialist, social democratic and labor youth organizations
from 100 countries all over the world, have decided to extend a strong
support to the democratic movement in Burma in its Asia-Pacific Regional
Meeting held last month in Bangkok.

Its member organizations particularly in the Asia-Pacific region are
planning to hold public rallies and meetings on Wednesday to commemorate
the 13th Anniversary of People's Uprising in Burma.

In India, a public demonstration will be held in New Delhi against the
continued military rule in Burma. Similar programs will be held in
Thailand, Philippines and Sweden.

Moreover, a press conference, under the banner of Friends of the
Democratic Movement in Burma, will be addressed at Press Club in New
Delhi by some Members of Parliament and political leaders from India to
urge the Government of India to "effectively, strategically and
transparently" engage with the Burmese regime on human rights issues,
particularly the release of political prisoners, stopping torture and
the repression of ethnic minorities.

The ruling Burmese military regime came into power in September 1988
after killing over thousands of peaceful demonstrators who demanded
political and economic changes in the country. The people from all walks
of life joined in the nation-wide demonstrations on 8th August 1988,
popularly known as 8.8.88 movement in Burma.
