WFDY ON RELEASE OF AUN SAN SUU KYI

The World Federation of Democratic Youth would like to express its happiness over the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from her long house imprisonment. She has sacrificed 15 years of her life in house imprisonment in different times of last 20 years for the sake of democracy in Burma. The sad irony of history is that she was put into house imprisonment by military Junta instead of her party had a position to rule the government winning 2/3 majority in parliament in the election of 1990.

WFDY had been always demanding the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners. We had already denounced the election declared unilaterally without not participation of Aun San Suu Kyi in the Her release is not still too late as Burma is in dire need of reconciliation, peace, democracy, stability and independence of the country so that the people of Burma could achieve this without any imperialist intervention, war and occupation.

We still believe that Aung San Suu Kyi could have the key role on this process to mainstreaming ethnic groups in conflicts for a long time and to restore democracy in the country. We demand to military Junta to release all political prisoners and start national reconciliation from the bottom where military should not have the key role to govern country. We strongly demand the assurance of her freedom and central roles on this whole process.
