       HON D C BROWN, MP
       PREMIER, MINISTER FOR MULTICULTURAL
                AND ETHNIC AFFAIRS
       PARLIAMENT HOUSE
       ADELAIDE

       DEAR PREMIER BROWN,

       RE: BURMA HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN IN ADELAIDE

       I am a Burmese person living in Adelaide for 7 years. In Adelaide,
       we have a very small Burmese community - a total of less than 20.
       Recently added to the list of Burmese people are those students
       who have been continuing struggle against military dictatorship
       in Burma.

       Although the number of Burmese student in Adelaide is small
       - i.e. four alltogether - they will be organizing a campaign
       for the release of Burma's Nobel Peace Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi,
       and for the peaceful settlement of political conflicts in Burma.
       These students with their Australian friends will be collecting
       signatures from people in front of the Parliament House on
       19 June, from 10:00am to 2:00pm, to celebrate the 50th birthday
       of the Nobel Peace Laureate who has been under detention for six
       years.

       This week, 16-24 June, also marks the National Refugee Week. Our
       campaign seek to promote a peaceful resolution of conflicts
       in Burma in an attempt to help the problems of Burma's minority
       refugees. I myself have been a refugee to Australia since 1992
       and therefore I appeal you to support the measure to end the
       Burma's refugee crisis. We have made particular appeal in our
       campaign that the United Nations be made initiatives to solve
       the problems.

       I like to appeal you and the members of South Australian
       parliamentarians to come out and support our Burmese democracy
       movement by signing the petition. We, the Burmese Students and
       the people of Burma, will be most appreciative of your support.

       I enclosed some campaign materials for your information.
       And thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

       Yours sincerely
       (U NE OO)
