"Ladies and gentlemen, today, on the 63rd birthday of the Burmese human rights and democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi, we should pay special attention to what is happening in Burma.
Burma is distancing itself from democratic values at an alarming speed. So far the Nobel Prize and Sakharov Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi has spent 12 years and 239 days in confinement. She is not allowed to receive visitors, conduct telephone conversations or receive mail.
In addition to this outstanding woman, thousands of peaceful demonstrators have been imprisoned on political grounds and people have been secretly to disappeared. The Burmese junta uses brutal violence.
We must condemn the undemocratic and brutal action of the Burmese military government. China must stop supporting Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners should be released immediately; that means today. Burma’s continuing defiance of the UN and the international community must not be permitted."@en1
