Burmese students protest Japan aid plan
The Delhi Age (New Delhi)
May 28, 2001
New Delhi, May 27: A large number of Burmese students affiliated to
various organisations protested against the recent announcement of the
Japanese government to consider giving a $24-million aid package to the
junta regime in Burma.
Describing the Japanese decision as dangerous and premature, the
protesters at Jantar Mantar here on Sunday said this will help trengthen
military dictatorship in the country. They also presented a memorandum
on the issue to the Japanese embassy.
According to a spokesperson of the All Burma Students' League, the
students also launched a global protest calling for more international
pressure on the Burmese junta to release all political prisoners and
stop military hostilities.
The student organisations are demanding that "talks" between Burmese
pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the junta be made transparent
to the people. The "talks" are supposed to centre around the results of
the 1990 elections in the country.
