Free Burma activists march to demand the release of Aung San Suu Kyi on her fourth month anniversary of illegal detention

After many different intensive pressures to United Nations, we, All Burmese Democratic Forces in the United States of America, are now to walk across the New York City in asking for the release of illegally detained Burma’s democracy leader, 1991 Nobel Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi. At once, we are urging United Nations Security Council to step up with the pressure on the military regime, State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to free Burma.

Aung San Suu Kyi has been imprisoned after narrowly escaped, May 30, an attempted assassination sponsored by the regime. It will be four months on September 30th since she was detained. Activists across the United States, and perhaps the world, will join together for the walk. There will also be protesters wearing interesting political prisoners uniforms at the march. This will be a great awareness to the public.

Until today, United Nations has not done enough to ensure the safety and the release of Aung San Suu Kyi from the atrocious dictators’ hands. This walk is to ask the world to help demand U.N. to work effectively in pressuring SPDC to free her immediately and unconditionally and liberate the 50 millions people of Burma without further delay.
