>A Resolution on Burma

>August 30, 1998
>
>1. We, members of Kwangju Citizens' Solidarity (KCS),
>want to repeatedly express our concern over the human
>rights and political crisis in Burma, as were already
>mentioned in the resolution adopted by the KCS in May
>1997 and in the Asian Human Rights Charter in May
>1998.
>
>2. We strongly support the Burmese struggle against
>the military junta which have been carried out by Aung
>San Su Kyi and the NLD. Even though Aung San Su Kyi
>ended her 13-day standoff in a minibus 25km northwest
>of Rangoon after being blocked from travelling to meet
>provincial supporters, we are sure that it is not the
>end of the struggle toward democracy and that Burmese
>will never give up their right to fight against the
>non-humanitarian dictators.
>
>3. The members of the Kwangju Citizens' Solidarity,
>who witnessed the massacre of our own sisters and
>brothers by the South Korean security forces during
>the Kwangju Uprising in May 1980, feel morally
>obligated to have an uttermost compassion for the
>Burmese who suffered from violence and death on the
>streets of Rangon in 1988. In addition, we want to
>express our strong objection to the militarity
>dictatorship.
>
>4. Now that the notorious Suharto regime collapsed in
>Indonesia, we believe that this is the right time for
>the world to pay a due attention to the human-rights
>and political crisis in Burma. KCS calls on the world
>to force the Burmese Military Government to accelerate
>the process of transition to democracy and to reform
>the abusive practice of human rights.
