FRIENDS OF BURMA---- APPEALS TO THAILAND KING
============================================================
By A Staff Reporter IMPHAL, May 15: The Friends of Burma
(Manipur) has appealed the King of Thailand, King Bhumibol
Adulyadej, to intervene to resolve the complex and critical
crisis and problems of the common masses of Burma.
The organisation further said that the crisis is affecting
ethnic minorities, women, children, students and monks
under the regime of the SLORC, which appears to have
violated all national norms of human right and democratic
governance.
The organisation also expressed its appreciation and
thanked the King for his historic practice of welcoming and
supporting of refugees from neighbouring countries with
exemplary compassion and generosity. The organisation also
expressed their belief that the tradition will go on.
It asks Bhumibol to intervene in case of the Burma refugees
to alleviate this crisis in the cause of human dignity.
However the organisation expressed its shock at the
Thailand National Security Council's announcement to
repatriate all Burma refugees camped along the Thai- Burma
border, when the situation is "safe".
The organisation observes that the international situation
is totally unsafe for the refugees to return to Burma.
The organisation also express that the SLORC has a dubious
stand regarding its declaration to gradually transfer its
power to a civilian government under a democratic
constitution as the violation of human right is increasing
day by.
