Forum Burma – Europe seminar ends in London

DVB ( 15 December 2003 )

Forum Burma – Europe Seminar which was held at SOAS (School of Oriental and Asian Studies) in London from 13 December ended the following day.

Dr. Win Naing, a coordinator of Burmese activists in Europe said that a neutral organisation like the UN should set up an investigation commission on Dipeyin incident and he insisted that people such as the UN special envoy to Burma, Mr. Razali Ismail who has economic interests in Burma should not get involved in the process.

He also urged the European Union to set up an investigation commission on the incident and declare the SPDC’s National Convention illegal in the EU parliament.

Another coordinator, U Nwe Aung said that Forum Burma – Europe is also informing EU nations who are attending the meeting on Burma affairs in Bangkok on 15 December to invite all interested nations and Burmese political parties such as the NLD who have the mandate to act for the people of Burma.

The seminar was attended by scholars, students, Burmese activists and ethnic nationals living in Europe.
