Description: "Acknowledgements The emergence of a people’s parliament is not only of paramount importance for Burma, it is the only hope to resolve the political, social, economic and human rights violation problems that are currently plaguing the country. For the emergence of a people’s parliament, the people of Burma, through the 1990 general elections, had overwhelmingly voted for the members of parliament of the National League for Democracy (NLD) by giving them over 80 percent of the seats. A full decade has passed, but the people’s representatives whom the people have chosen to represent them have not been permitted to convene the parliament. To prevent the parliament from convening, the military authorities have, on a daily basis, employed various detestable means — intimidation, pressure, forced resignation, illegal arrest and imprisonment — against the people’s representatives. The military regime, sad to say, has also been attempting to forcibly dissolve the election-winning NLD party. The State Law and Restoration Council which re-christened itself State Peace and Development Council, has been embarking on these with an aim to denying the citizens of Burma the right to run their own political lives through the representatives they have freely chosen, thus, blatantly contravening the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The military authorities, in addition, have not only denied Nobel Peace Laureate Daw Aung Sann Suu Kyi and other political leaders and elected people’s representatives freedom of assembly, freedom of organization and movement, they have used pressure and threat to coerce people into attending lawlessly orchestrated “public rallies” where, in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Articles 19 and 20, the people are made to shout and call for the dissolution of the electionwinning NLD party, to make petitions and declarations of withdrawal of support for the people’s representatives. Furthermore, human rights abuses of all kinds including forced labour, forced relocation of people from their ancestral lands, persecution and torture etc, are taking place at an alarming rate in the SPDC-ruled Burma, a country where rule of law is completely missing. The SPDC has shamelessly violated the universally recognized Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The human rights abuses records found in this book are a presage of the worsening human rights violations that are looming and will soon and surely take place in Burma. Burma needs sympathy and assistance from the human rights-respecting and democracy-cherishing people of the international community, and also from the international organizations both governmental and non-governmental, to timely stop these evil things from occurring. This, in fact, is the reason why human rights abuses in Burma are documented, and this human rights yearbook compiled. I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to the members of the Norwegian Burma Council for their unwavering support in making this Report possible. In addition, I would like to thank all the ethnic organizations and the many individuals who supported this project. Sincere thanks also to all those people who helped prepare this book for publication, and many individuals whose names cannot be mentioned but whose contribution cannot go unnoticed. The very existence of the Human Rights Documentation Unit (HRDU) would not have been possible without the assistance of these friends of Burma. The emergence of the HRDU has given me a greatly satisfying opportunity to work closely with organizations that are noble and just and have a profound sympathy for the people of Burma. I wish to put on record my profound gratitude to the KHRG, KIC, HRFOM, SHRF, SHAN, CHRO, KNAHR, ABSDF, BWU, Burma Issue, Images Asia, ALTSEAN Burma and the YOMA-3 for their enthusiastic assistance and cooperation for the publication of this book. I also would like to express my gratitude to the EuroBurma Office and the Burma Fund which generously assisted the publication of this book..."
