	Position Statement on the Release of
	Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
       ------------------------------------

1. We join all the democratic loving people of the Union of Burma in 
welcoming  the "unconditional" release of the leader of the winning party, 
the National League for Democracy in 1990 election and the 1991 Nobel Peace 
laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi by the SLORC military junta. The year long 
efforts by democratic governments and domestic and international democratic 
minded individuals and organizations force the SLORC, which enforces 
unwritten laws and restores unnamed order, to halt its habitual lies and 
deceit and to submit in obeying its own law for one time.  It is a positive 
and excellent sign.

2.  The "unconditional" release is, however, conditional as there is no 
word of change in the policy of the ruling SLORC. Oppression and repression 
are still the order of the day in the Union of Burma. We continue our trust 
to mistrust the power holders in Rangoon. Armed opposition, non-violent 
confrontation, trade sanction,  arms embargo, and international pressure 
are the only option open for democrats to act upon the SLORC more than 
ever. The prospect for peace and the chance for serious dialogue and 
compromise in Burma depend on continued efforts of the democratic loving 
people of the world.  

3. We join the overwhelming majority of the people of the Union of Burma in 
committing our confidence to the person, policy, and foresight of Daw Aung 
San Suu Kyi. We trust that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will work with all decent 
citizens of the Union of Burma in acquiring peace and unity in the nation. 
 We look forward to working together with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the 
people of Burma for genuine democracy, equality, rule of law, fundamental 
human rights, and economic developments.
