"Mr President, I agree with and support most of what has been said, but I wish to raise two points. The first concerns the whereabouts of Aung San Suu Kyi. She has not been seen for many days, in fact since the end of May, when it was reported that up to 70 people were killed by the junta army and that she suffered a head injury. The fact that she has not been seen and that her whereabouts is unknown raises serious concerns about whether she is alive and what kind of condition she is in. This Parliament and the institutions have to send a very strong message to the Burmese authorities that international bodies must
have access to her. It is of crucial importance. We need to know immediately what kind of situation she is in.
My second point concerns the resolution itself, which contained a call for new elections. I understand now that all the political groups have agreed to this being removed. I am glad, because it would send a
dangerous signal at this time. In other words, it would mean giving in to the logic of the generals, not accepting the decision of the people and basically undermining the National League for Democracy. I am glad that the parties who wanted this in have agreed to take it out, because it would be a really dangerous and very bad signal to send at this time to the military regime in Burma."@en1
