BURMA: AUNG SAN SUU KYI

Burma needs urgent help

This also means that Myanmar would be seeing more international pressure. The EU and the US have already said that they would continue with their sanctions and more can be expected in the future. The Security Council is against the junta regime and in a press statement, the Council said, “Members of the Security Council express their concern about the political impact of recent developments relating to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.” Within Asia also, the military rule is losing support. The ASEAN has shown clear support to Suu Kyi, which has been thrashed by the junta government. They have accused Thailand, the current Chairman of this block, of “interfering in the internal affairs of Myanmar...”

The junta doesn’t seem to be taking any cognisance of democracy and human rights. Therefore, international pressure must be stepped up in a more coordinated, sincere and effective manner to ensure that both Burma and Suu Kyi see the light of day.
