Junta-owned paper reports on Suu Kyi’s trial
Interview with Aye Thar Aung, General Secretary of the CommitteeRepresenting Peoples’ Parliament (CRPP)
Tuesday, 19 May 2009 05:03“It is very clear with regard to the case of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. If we want to see the countrydevelop and prosper, we need to start with national reconciliation. National reconciliation meansthere should be unity among the NLD, military junta, democratic forces and ethnic nationalities.We need to build that first. And while building trust, Aung San Suu Kyi, Khun Htun Oo, Min KoNaing and other political prisoners must be released and should come together to talk. But nowit is getting worse, as Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged and is being tried. It only shows thatthe junta wants to hold on to power no matter what.”“By charging and putting Aung San Suu Kyi on trial, the future of our country is grim. And bydoing this unity will be lost. And it will be more difficult to build trust among the ethnicnationalities. The country is heading for a future of uncertainty.”“The election is another topic. When we are marching towards democracy, elections cannot befull of restrictions. And when marching towards democracy, we need to have a democraticconstitution. Elections must be held based on such a constitution.”“As the 2008 constitution was drafted one-sidedly by the junta utilizing the imposition of variousrestrictions on the opposition, the 2010 election cannot guarantee a better future for Burma.”“The way the junta is acting is not in accordance with the law, and they are making white lies.Besides, they are not hesitant to crackdown on the people and the monks. I feel that the wholesituation is so dark.”......................................................................................
