     52 Indian MPs support Declaration on Burma and Aung San Suu Kyi
Mizzima News (www.mizzima.com)

New Delhi, Nov. 28:  52 Members of Parliament of India have, as of
November 28, signed the 'MP Declaration on Burma' and thus expressed
their
solidarity with Burma?s democratic leader and Nobel Peace Laureate Aung
San
Suu Kyi. This has been confirmed by the All Burma Students League which
is
currently launching a signature campaign among the Members of Parliament
in
Delhi.

The Indian Members of Parliament who have already signed belong to
various
political parties (both ruling and opposition) and are joining the
thousands
of fellow Members of Parliament worldwide in signing a 'MP Declaration
on
Burma' which calls upon the Burmese military junta to release all
elected
parliamentarians and political prisoners in Burma.

The signature campaign is jointly launched by the India-based All Burma
Students League and Norway-based PD Burma and Worldview Rights
organizations to mobilize Members of Parliament throughout the world
in support of 1991 Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi who remains under
house arrest in Rangoon.

Aung San Suu Kyi leads the National League for Democracy (NLD) that
won a landslide victory in the 1990 general elections but was not
handed over power by the ruling generals in Burma.  She is the only
Nobel
Peace Laureate currently under detention for her commitment to human
rights
and democracy.

The 'MP Declaration on Burma', which has been endorsed by more than
2,400
Members of Parliament from 89 countries, also calls upon the
Burmese military government to recognize the right of the duly elected
representatives to convene a parliament and to join the National
League for Democracy and the representatives of ethnic nationalities in
a dialogue to achieve a peaceful transition to democracy in Burma.

Further to the campaign, the All Burma Students League and the Women?s
League of Burma are organizing a special function on 8th December (the
10th
Anniversary of Aung San Suu Kyi's reception of the Nobel Peace Prize) at
the
India International Center in New Delhi to salute and demonstrate
solidarity
and support for Aung San Suu Kyi and the struggle for democracy in
Burma.
