88 New Generation Students

Min Ko Naing
Former chairperson of the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU),
88 Generation Students group leader

Dear friends,



We would like to invite you to Min Ko Naing’s 49th Birthday event. We could not celebrate his 49th birthday as he is still in notorious prison for 65 years and 6 months prison sentence.



But we will offer foods and donation to Buddhist monks and pray for Min Ko Naing to unconditional release. Min Ko Naing’s condition is currently worsening. Min Ko Naing is only allowed to walk for a little while in front of his cell before bathing, but he is not allowed to walk and exercise outside of his cell. Authorities justified it saying the prison was cramped. As a result, Min Ko Naing never interacts with anyone, except with prison guards. He is not allowed to meditate at the meditation centre either according to Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma). Recently, Burma dictator has released many prisoners but only 218 political prisoners were released and there is many political prisoners (between 1500 and 2000) were not released including Min Ko Naing.



Therefore, we would like to urge you to join and pray for the released of Min Ko Naing on his birthday, 18th October 2011, Tuesday.
