IN RE: "AUNG SAN SUU KYI MUST BE RELEASED WITH NO HESITATION"
The Honorable Ban Ki Moon
Secretary General of the United Nations

New York, NY 10017

His Excellency Ban Ki Moon:

IN RE: "AUNG SAN SUU KYI MUST BE RELEASED WITH NO HESITATION"

On behalf of the "Party of the Government of Vientiane (PGVT)" in Exile and formerly so-called the "Royal Lao Government (RLG)" in Exile; together with the Lao Organizations and its Communities around the world are calling for the immediate released of Aung San Suu Kyi who was due to be released from house detention on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 and she is now being indefinitely held on the ruse of an American who recently swam to her lakeside home to put her on a shame trial so as to extend her unlawful incarceration at this time. The Junta pledged to free political detainees and hold elections next year as part of a much-discussed "roadmap" to restore democracy to the country which has been ruled by the Myanmar military junta since 1962.

Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged with violating the terms of her house arrest, and if convicted would likely be in prison when the elections take place. This is no coincidence.

Myanmar's military junta have been allowed too many discretions by ASEAN and this last action indicates that, they have been not sincere to stop their repeated violation of promises to release Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest.

Aung San Suu Kyi and thousands of follow monks and students have been imprisoned for bravely challenging the brutal military regime with peaceful calls for democracy for the country. This has led to a refugee situation that is only worsening and how can we lay any foundations for these people to return under such circumstances.

We call on the United Nations and the ASEAN in particular to exercise leadership on this issue and condemn this latest threat imposed by Myanmar's military junta that again threatens the overall security and stability of the region.

There is an added sense of urgency as the situation is clearly deteriorating with the trials being conducted behind closed doors irrespective of outcry from the international community.

We, therefore, calling on the United Nations and the ASEAN to demonstrate to the global community that we respect our "Charter" to protect and promote human rights and to uphold democratic principles in the region and will not be longer tolerate Myanmar's abusive regime.

We also are calling for the immediately released of Aung San Suu Kyi or for Myanmar to face the consequences of being ousted from ASEAN.

We must exercise strong positive leadership for the whole region and particularly demonstrate to the International Community that the ASEAN Charter has "teeth" and can be used effectively to promote peace and stability in the region by first and foremost ensuring Aung San Suu Kyi's immediately release. Rest assured this request is vital for her health and safety. She deserved better when her term of the house arrest will be ended on May 27th, 2009. Just in case you may want to contact me and my communities, please do not hesitate to send me this email: [email protected]. Again, thanks for taking care of this immediately action as requested for the sake of human beings and freedom.
