Invitation to participate and support protest calling for the immediate release of all political prisoners

Dear brothers and sisters,


We, 88 New Generation Students (UK) , would like to kindly invite you all, to support and participate in the protest calling on the Military Backed Thein Sein government to immediate release of all political prisoners in Burma.


It comes no surprise that the Thein Sein regime in Burma still holds an estimated 1,700 political prisoners while more than 500 political prisoners are remained incarcerated in prisons. Recently, following the ASEAN summit in Bali, Thein Sein said his government”does not agree with” the commonly-held belief that around 1,700 people are serving jail terms in Burma because of political activity. This shows the violation of the fundamental, civil, political and human rights of political prisoners who have been working hard towards freedom of our country under the hardship of the Thein Sein government.


In addition, rumors on impending political prisoners amnesty circulated throughout since then, but have not yet to materialize. Far from the prisoners amnesty, all prominent political figures who are serving 65yrs prison terms including Buddhist monks leader Sayadaw Gambira ,88 Generation Students Leader Ko Min Ko Naing, Female dissident Ma Nilar Thein were sent to far remote prisons in Burma. Further, the evil of this military backed Thein Sein regime is still committing the arbitrary arrest of political activists, human rights lawyers and targeted outrageous attack to the ethnic minorities.


Therefore, we, the youth generation, believe that the current crisis in Burma will not be solved by the fake tactics of the military dominated government.


Since denial of political status is denial of dignity, we would respectfully like to ask all organizations working for the freedom of all political prisoners to show our solidarity with the core aim of:

Calling on the Thein Sein government to immediate release all political prisoners in Burma.
