The NDPHR ( exile ) USA (HQ) Condemns the Barbaric Response of the SPDC
Military Junta against Peaceful and Well-behaved Protesters

We, the members of NDPHR(exile)USA(HQ) are shocked andoutraged by the Burmese SPDC military junta's brutal response
to peaceful protesters led by Revered Monks (Sanghas) against their
suffering and mismanagement of the country making the lives of all Burmese people beyond toleration.We strongly condemns the SPDC's brutal actions and demand the Burmese
military junta for immediate STOP stop of its barbaric response releasing all political prisoners.

The peaceful protest of the Burmese Monks supported by law abiding Burmese Citizens demanding an Apology for the mistreatment to the monks, the Release of prisoners, Reduce fuel prices and a initiate democratization process in the country with opposite democratic forces are legal and justified.

We are with the Burmese people in their just struggle led by Monks,We are encouraged to see the joining of students, citizens ,nuns and everyone disregarding the race and religion representing all ethnic minorities.

We also strongly support the brave Arakanese people who have been demonstrating since August 28, 2007 led by Arakanese Monks.Yesterday nearly 1000 Muslim people march the streets of Akyab along with several monks and Buddhist people by forming hand-chains with each others which is a historical break-through in the process of Arakan history.

According to the available information from Narinjara news , there were not only Muslim males, but also women participating in the demonstration that was staged by monks, despite the military authorities warning to monks not to protest any further in the streets.

The Burmese military authority on Monday warned monks not to continue their demonstrations in the streets, but many monks in Akyab led over 5000 people in staging a protest against government warnings.

It is a matter of encouragement and interest that Rakhine community welcomed the Muslim community joining in the demonstration along with the Buddhist community in order to show unity among the Arakanese people.

We appreciate the elderly Muslim's statement "We are a family and we are travelers in the same boat. We are all suffering from economic hardship during this present military government so we all Burmese citizens need to be united without regard for religion, class, or race."

We pray to God for the continuation of the unity of all Arakanese people embracing each other forgetting the past hostilities for the common good of Arakan and Burmese People.

We also see fervently appeal to the Government and people of China to cease their support for the Burmese military regime and support the popular uprising of Burmese people under the Monks on humanitarian ground.

We appeal also the UN Security Council Members Emergency Meeting today holding by the request of European members of the 15-member council( Wednesday) over the deadly clashes in Burma between anti- SPDC government Burmese protesters and the military junta to INTERVENE and Protect the Burmese Civilians from loss of lives and properties.

We repeat our heartfelt thanks to the President Bush,British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and all world leaders who came forward with strong support to the cause of Burmese people
taking the seriousness of the situation to the “illegitimate and repressive regime.” SPDC military junta against its peace-loving citizens.

We welcome and support the United States and the European Union for condemning the SPDC's attacks on peaceful protesters and calling on the military SPDC rulers to open a dialog with pro-democracy leaders, including detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, according to a joint statement on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.

We urge the Secretary-General Ban Kee Moon to immediately dispatch a special envoy to Burma for a fact finding mission.We appreciate Mr.Ban Kee Moon for urging the junta "to exercise utmost restraint toward the peaceful demonstrations taking place, as such action can only undermine the prospects for peace, prosperity and stability in Myanmar
Finally, we pray for the salvation of the souls of those monks and civilian protesting Freedom Fighter who sacrificed their lives for all Burmese people at the hands of brutal hands of SPDC regime.so far,5 monks and three civilian were reported killed, five wounded and more than 200 people were arrested.
