Burma democracy leaders led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi are working very tirelessly in order to restore peace, unity and national reconciliation in Burma. We believe that we have been seeing the real change in Burma. We trust Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and we will follow her leadership without wavering.
We believe that if we truly wanted to seek genuine change in Burma then we must also be ready to compromise as well. We wanted to have peace, unity and national reconciliation in Burma. Therefore, Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for the President U Thein Sein regime to fully cooperate with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for the betterment of the people and the nation.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) earnestly calls for the President U Thein Sein regime to —
(1) to release all political prisoners
(2) to stop armed conflicts
(3) to restore peace
(4) to respect rule of law
(5) to allow free independent judiciary system
Together we can restore the peace, unity, and national reconciliation in Burma. Thank you very much and looking forward to see you all.
