June 5 (NMG) - Exiled student leaders including those students who actively led 8888 uprising in Burma formed a committee for mass movement in the midst of recent compelling situation between opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the military regime, said Moe Hein, a former secretary of Democratic Party for New Society (DPNS) while staging demonstration in front of Burmese Embassy in Bangkok yesterday.

Moe Hein revealed that Burmese student leaders around the world such as America, Australia, Japan, Thai and India also formed mass movement committees namely Democratic Federation of Burma comprising of several pro-democratic groups.

He also said that they got a telephone message from Burma regarding formation of such similar committee inside Burma on June 3.

Though he did not reveal the names of the committee members inside Burma, Moe Thee Zon in America, Ko Zaw Min and Ko Ye Htut in Japan and Ko Moe Hein and Ko Zayar Win in Thailand were taking in-charge of the committees respectively.

“The military government used a do-or-die tactic on the democratic oppositions and, till now, no body knows whether Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and U Tin Oo are still alive or not. The regime manipulated a coward act of beating in the darkness on these world-respected leaders. As they used such inhuman behavior on our democratic opposition, we should no longer confront them politically but to use revolutionary ways the ultimate annihilation. We, the Democratic Federation of Burma, welcome and invite all to join as alliance and we are not going to exploit them for our personal or political benefit” said Moe Hein.

Zayar Win, a leader of Basic Education Students Union, also insisted that newly formed committee, "Democratic Federation of Burma", organized yesterday's demonstration in front of Burmese Embassy in Bangkok.
