Dear Senior General:
I was very pleased that Nobel Peace Prize winner Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest on November 13, 2010. There are, however, an estimated 2,200 political prisoners currently detained in Myanmar, the vast majority of whom are prisoners of conscience. I urge that you also grant freedom to these prisoners of conscience who are currently detained in Myanmar for exercising their freedom of expression, association, and assembly - people such as student leaders Htay Kywe, Mie Mie, and Zaw Htet Ko Ko, labor activist Su Su Nway, Buddhist monk U Gambira, and comedian and actor Zarganar.
The continued detention of these political prisoners goes against the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which you must uphold as a member of the United Nations. I urge you to demonstrate Myanmar’s commitment to human rights by ordering the immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners of conscience in Myanmar.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
copy to:
