ABSL Statement on Army Crackdown of Peaceful Movement of Buddhist Monks


We. ABSL strongly condemned Burmese military regime named State Peace and Development Council, SPDC, for its brutal crackdown on peaceful movement of Burmese people led by Buddhist monks, in which three monks were killed, 17 people wounded and several hundreds of people had been arrested.
We are also saddened with deep pain by this crackdown of SPDC regime which had never been happen in history of Burmese society, as faithful Buddhist Burmese held high esteem regard to the Monks and none can consider to harm or even none dare to show disrespectedful them up.
We fell disturb and hurt by the India’s inaction to prevent such treagedy mete out against Buddhist monks and people who practicing Gandhian way of nonviolent with compassion for peace and prosperity in the country, release of all the political prisoners including Aung San Suu Kyi and national reconciliation.
It is a tragedy that the SPDC could not heed the numerous suggestion of international community and the peoples of Burma to embrace reconciliation stance, through sustainable dialogue to end the decades long conflict.
We are deeply concern over the consequences of regime’s stubbornness to hang on power may drag-down Burma into genocidal war like in Rwanda, as Sangha ( Monk Society ) issue a statement that said they are pledge to continue to fight and they are already to sacrifice, and call for people participation.
It is high time now that the international community, India and China in particular, to condemn Junta’s heinous crime and urge SPDC regime refrain from brutal and violent war to resort the crisis. We are also appeal for the UN intervention to prevent repetition of 1988 treadegy.
