ICDB requests fellow Burma's nationals to call U.N.
"Free Aung San Suu Kyi and Support N.L.D"

On Feb. 17, 2005, without including our national leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her 1990 election winning party National League for Democracy (NLD), the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) will resume the "National Convention" as one of the junta's road map steps. According to their "7-step Road Map", they are to – hold the National Convention, draft a new constitution, adopt the constitution through referendum, hold an election, and form the government. The regime is well on its way to forcibly legitimize its illegal rule for more than four decades.

Moreover, the NLD urged the SPDC to have a meaningful dialogue between December 2, 2004 and January 4, 2005. Apparently, SPDC neither cooperated nor responded to the NLD's request.

Furthermore, Burma is facing dictators' serious threats, as the nation's leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is still under house arrest, more ethnic leaders are being detained as we write this action call, and her 50 million people are being forced to accept the regime's so-called "Road Map" as a legal procedure toward democracy.

Therefore, in solidarity, the International Campaign for Democracy in Burma (ICDB) requests you, especially Burma's nationals, to ask the United Nations (UN) to increase its effort to "free Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and support NLD" on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2005. Furthermore, as an immediate step, ask the UN to release firm request seeking the release of 1991 Nobel laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her colleague U Tin Oo.
