Kuala Lumpur, August 8, 2007: On the 8th of August 2007, th
e Burmese Democracy dissidents held a demonstration in front of Chinese Embassy, in condemnation of its supports to the Burmese military regime. The demonstration was organized by the Democratic Federation of Burma (DFB), Malaysia Branch while some other political, social, religious organizations including the National Democratic Party for Human Rights (exile) and member organizations of the All Burma Democratic Forces (ABDF); and pro-democracy dissidents took part in the event.
All of them express their dissatisfactions over the decisions of China to reject a resolution on Burma at the UN Security Council on 12 January 2007. The proposed non-punitive resolution was intended to encourage the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) (the ruling military government) to take necessary steps towards national reconciliation an
d democratization in Burma. Though the majority of the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution, China rejected it by exercising their veto powers.
They mentioned in their statement that it is a missing opportunity for China to respond to the situation in our country constructively, collectively and effectively within the United Nations frame-work, while China and everyone is witnessing the SPDC’s increased attack, arbitrary arrest and unfair imprisonment on peaceful democracy activists more brutal and more severe than before.
They also noted that “it is also surprise able matter that Burma is increasingly becoming a threat to the regional and international peace and security by various backgrounds including the highest rate of HIV/AIDS positive”.
Being an important and the most powerful country in Southeast Asia, China would join with the whole international community, including the United Nations, ASEAN, European Union and many other nations around the world to call on the SPDC to release Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners; to stop all sorts of human rights abuses on civilians, particularly on the ethnic and religious minorities like Rohingya, Karen, Shan, Mon, Chin and etc., if China really want to see the prosperity, s
tability and political solution in Burma, statement further said.
The groups expressed their believe that “the close relationship of China with the SPDC and its leading roles in the international community, China is in the best position to help realizing of national reconciliation and democratization in Burma through a meaningful tripartite dialogue with NLD and ethnic nationalities, by urging the SPDC to take steps recommended by numerous resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly”.
