STATEMENT ON 11th ANNIVERSARY OF 8.8.88 PRO-DEMOCRACY UPRISING
(FOUR EIGHTS AFFAIR)
8 August 1999

Today, we arrive at the "11th Anniversary of the 8.8.88 Pro-Democracy 
Uprising" (Four Eights Affair) of Burma.

8.8.88 is known as the beginning of a non-violent spiritual revolution, 
referring to the Burmese people's mental and spiritual strength supporting 
the Pro-Democracy and Human Rights movement.

We also think of 8 August 1988 as the traditional inception of the 
Ideological Struggle and Ultimate Struggle.

In history, independence from the British in 1948 was the First Independence 
of Burma.

In more recent history, the 8.8.88 Pro-Democracy Uprising was the inception 
of the Requisition Struggle for Independence from the Tyrannical Military 
Junta.

On 8 August 1988, a nation-wide Pro-Democracy Uprising materialized, 
bringing together a heterogeneous gathering of people participating together 
in perfect harmony. In addition, it was the beginning of a cohesive struggle 
to depose the Tyrannical Junta, the Burma Socialist Programme Party (BSPP); 
to Empower the Civilian Interim Government; and to establish Democracy and 
Human Rights in Burma.

The Tyrannical Junta, the Burma Socialist Programme Party (BSPP), and its 
heir apparent, the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), brutally 
cracked down upon the Burmese people's Democratic Movement using armed 
force, jealous of the role people would play in a future Burma upholding 
Democracy and Human Rights.

Even if the earth expires, we will remember forever the Tyrannical Military 
Junta's covetousness.

Even if the earth perishes, we will always revere the fatalities in the 
8.8.88 Pro-Democracy Uprising, the Burmese people's traditional symbol of 
Bravery and Sacrifice for Victory.

We denounce the BSPP, SLORC, and the SPDC, the third consecutive Tyrannical 
Military Junta, as the saboteur Juntas.

* The Power-mad Tyrannical Military Junta will fall.
* Our Noble Struggle will exist in perpetuity.
* The Blood Spirit of the Four Eights Struggle will exist in perpetuity.
* The Courageous Blood of the Four Eights Struggle will exist in perpetuity.
