Statement of  condemnation on Thai Government and its trade show

We, All Burma Students Democratic Organisation and Free Burma Students 
Network, stage protest against Thai government at Thai Consulate-General 
(Sydney) for collision with Burmese military regime. Today in Bangkok, Thai 
government sponsors a trade show to promote illegal business with illegal 
regime in order to exploit the political crisis as the result of regime's 
denial to acknowledge the result of the elections in 1990.

Thailand also refuses to recognise the desire of people of Burma by ignoring 
the call to recognise the CRPP (Committee Representing People's parliament) 
formed by 251     members of parliament-elect on 16th September 1998.

We must point out  that Thailand dose not stand on its policy of 
non-interference of        internal affair of Burma by extending outright 
support to illegal junta. Also, Thailand is not sincere in eliminating drug 
trafficking in golden-triangle. Even though Thailand banned logging in 1989, 
it has cowardly encouraged the deforestation resulted in 766,000 hectors per 
year.

Students who have been engaging in non-violent movement in Thailand have 
been         routinely detained in Special Detention Centre and Immigration 
Detention Centre in Bangkok. At present, 5 students are lawlessly detained 
without any charges. 1000                 activists in Ratchburi Camp are 
being restricted of peaceful political activities for                
democracy and human rights in Burma. Several thousands of refugees (out of 
500,000) were already  deported back to the hands of regime where they were 
sent to force-labour camps.

Thailand is responsible for formulating ASEAN economic group's policy of 
'Constructive Engagement ' which actually benefits the regime by increasing 
trade and political ties.

We earnestly demand that Thailand;
cancels this illegal trade show immediately and stops all political, 
economic and military ties with illegal regime,
frees Burmese student's political detainees in Thailand immediately and
Recognises Committee Representing People's Parliament (CRPP) as the highest  
        legitimate authority of Burma and its lawful right to convene the 
people's parliament (as per 1990 election result).

All Burma Students Democratic Organisation
Dated: 12th, August, 1999.
