NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR FOOD AND FREEDOM BURMA -2008
National Campaign for Food and Freedom Immediate Release August 28, 2008 We, the undersigned Burmese civic organizations around the world have been following the news of Daw Aung San Su Kyi's situation with a grave concern. We believe that she is on a hunger strike in order to protest her illegal detention and the United Nations special envoy's failure to initiate a genuine dialogue and national reconciliation. The Burmese military regime has so far denied that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is on a hunger strike. In fact, nobody has seen her in person for two weeks and nobody knows how her health is. Her health is in terrible danger if in fact she has been on a hunger strike for two weeks. We ask international governments, non‐government organizations and concern citizens of the world to intervene immediately by calling upon the Burmese military regime to allow physicians, visitors and diplomats to see Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Saving her life means saving the future of Burma. Time is of the essence.
