Press Release

Burma Solidarity submits Memorandum to the UN Special
Envoy to Burma, 

Mr. Ibrahim Gambari

Representatives of Burma Solidarity, an open platform
of concerned people, activists, academicians, NGOs,
students, teachers, journalists, politicians, civil
liberties organisations and individuals presented a
memorandum to the UN Special Envoy to Burma, Mr.
Ibrahim Gambari at the Press Conference called by the
UN at UN office, Delhi on 23 October 2007. 

They welcomed Mr. Gambari to India in the efforts to
engage with Indian Government on current political
situation and the continuing crisis in Burma. 

Burma Solidarity expressed its optimism on the
discussions held by Mr. Gambari with the Prime
Minister, Sri Manmohan Singh, Minister of External
Affairs, Sri Pranab Mukherjee and the Foreign
Secretary, Sri Shivshankar Menon. 

Burma Solidarity hopes that Mr. Gambari's visit will
successfully lead to:

India joining the rest of the international community
in condemning and demanding an immediate halt to the
violence of the Burmese military junta; 
India stopping its sale and supply of military
hardware to the Burmese junta; 
India ceasing all investment in Burma including gas
until there is a democratically elected government in
Burma; 
India demanding the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi,
like it has done in the recent weeks but also other
political prisoners who have been detained without
free or fair trial; 
India not only unconditionally supporting commencement
of the Tripartite Dialogue (as called by UN General
Assembly in1994) and a genuine reconciliation but also
publicly stating that it backs such an effort by the
United Nations. 
India working along with countries in the Asian region
such as China as well as the regional forum such as
ASEAN for restoration of multi-party democracy in
Burma.

Unfortunately, the balance of nature decrees that a super-abundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares.   
      
Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.
