1. To keep the public informed we publish
the responses that have reached us relating to the tactics used to assemble the
people unlawfully on the 7 February, 1999 for the purpose of denouncing U Lun Tin , member of the NLD, elected representative of Mon
State, Moulmein Township, Constituency No:1.
xxxxx The people attended the
meeting because they were forced to. It was entirely aganst
their wishes. Most of the residents of the towns did not attend but the
villagers attended mostly out of fear.
xxxxx Teachers were
instructed to relinquish their duties if they failed to attend xxxxx meaning that they would be sacked xxxxx
as instructed from the top.
xxxxx To be made to denounce
an innocent man like U Lun Tin with fists and
outstretched hands was very embarrassing and distressing.
xxxxx Forgiveness is sought
from U Lun Tin and the 10 members of the NLD
committee.
xxxxx Our prayer is that the
ten committee members including Aunty Su and U Lun
Tin reach the victory post of democracy as soon as possible.

xxxxx The authorities asked
us for our household lists (census) and collected them at

collect them we were forced to sign.
xxxxx We students(boys and
girls) disapprove of the activities of the present government.
xxxxx Their words and actions
are very discriminatory and unfair.
xxxxx When we speak the truth
we are arrested and tortured.
xxxxx They claim that the
country is progressing economically, socially and educationally. Far from
progressing, the cost of living is rising and everything is getting more
difficult.
