release of their freedom fighters. As we all know, these comrades are not gun
smugglers. Theirs is a fight is for democracy and human rights against that seeks
to liberate their country from thje brutal military regime of Burma and to protect
innocent civilians.It would be an abuse of them to call them gun runners.
Also we can look at the problem from the other side.It seem that some
real gun runners caught in India have been released. A British national, namely
Mr. Peter Bleach was granted amnesty by the President of India due to the
intervention of the British foreign office and the Honourable Tony Blair, Prime
Minister of Great Britain, who intervened personally in the case. In addition, five
Latvian nationals were set free when the Russian President Mr. Putin
approached the Indians for their release.In any case the emphasis must be on
doing what we can do for those who are currently and unjustly in prison.
We exiles of Burma have no internationally recognized government except
the NCGUB in exile which has very limited power. Our only hope for the release
of these innocent victims is from Amnesty International. Therefore I urge Burma
Forum Canada to form an advocacy group to take necessary step for the release
of those victims rotting in the foreign jails.
Thank you.
