88 Generation Students (Exile)
International Campaign for Visa Ban on the Military Regime of Burma
29th January, 2008
To
All Pro Democracy Activists and Fellow Citizenship of Burma
We have been expressed, the concern of ours societies at the continued oppression of the people of Burma since 1988. The people of Burma deserve to enjoy basic liberties such as freedom of speech, assembly, and worship.
Most pro democracy organizations called on the Burmese regime to engage in a genuine dialogue with people representatives, including the leaders of the pro-democracy movement and ethnic minority groups.
And also, We demanded the Burmese regime should release those who have been arrested for peacefully expressing their views, including Aung San Suu Kyi, and should also exercise restraint in the face of peaceful protests but the military regime has no intention of cooperating with people representatives or of starting a process of genuine political dialogue or always show signs of overpowering on its own people.
As a result, we confirmed peaceful dialog process is failed, and we need to find ideas of imposing further sanctions in the future or examining the question of possible newly additional measures such as unilateral sanction, the UN mission, or the international military intervention.
In response to the Burmese regime's continued crackdown, the United States and EU have designated many government and military officials and their families as ineligible to receive visas to travel to the United States and EU countries.
Otherwise, more development of imposing on an infamous regime is a necessary step for supporting to end the reign of terror in Burma. Therefore, we, 88 Generation Students’ (Exile), begin a plan to collecting information of the regime and their relatives who currently living in oversea. They obtained different kinds of visas from western and European countries by collaborating of companies that invested in Burma.
We would like to request the Burmese who lives in oversea or person who want us enjoy with freedom, to cooperate with us, however it is a difficult job to find or
get information from an individual person.
In order to fulfill ours plans, we need you to find their information and share with us for purposes of blocking visas, freezing assets, and stopping investment all over the world.
We're collecting information as follows.
1. Name and address
2. Attending school name and address
3. Categories of visa, and the embassy issued that visa
4. Reasons to obtained visas, such as students exchange, scholarship, tourist
5. Banking information
6. Stock Shares, investment, or oversea businesses
7. Bank accounts or businesses under person names
8. Money exchange business that controlled by regime

Because we refuse to bow to these unjust election 'laws,' our party will be abolished by the regime soon. Still, the NLD will not disappear. We will be among the people, with the people. We will continue to fight for democracy, human rights and equality among all ethnic nationalities, by peaceful means. —

Win Tin, a member of NLD Central Executive Committee

From Stalin to Burma, a history lesson

They may wear different cloaks, but under the surface all dictators are similar. As the memory of dictators like Joseph Stalin fades, mistakes of the past repeat themselves with a vengeance in forgotten places like Burma.One writer said of Stalin: “He had found Russia working with wooden ploughs and left it equipped with atomic [stock]piles.” But perhaps the true question doesn’t regard Stalin’s undisputable impact on humanity, but whether the legacy justified all the human sacrifice. To Stalin, the millions killed as a consequence of his ambitious drive were simply stepping stones along the road to national prosperity. However, such a Machiavellian frame of mind can neither be justifiable nor ethical.Stalin utilized numerous harsh methods in attempting to meet his ‘utopian’ goals. Collective farms were prevalent, while each Five Year Plan sought to leapfrog Russia ahead of competing nations and systems. Toward this end, virtually every industry fell under the direct control of the government and its de facto and shackled workforce. And the sad truth, more often than not, was results never met by an increasingly impoverished population.Stalin’s principle instrument for maintaining control over his country was his secret police. Through this institution, fear was instilled in the hearts of the people. The final death toll from Stalin’s regime is indeed staggering, with estimates ranging from 10 to 20 million people having perished.Stalin was under the belief that all his actions, extreme or otherwise, were necessary in order to pull Russia into the industrial age. Yet, ultimately, the major flaw in Stalin’s reasoning was that he claimed all sacrifices were necessary and for the future of Russia. “Life has improved, comrades. Life has become more joyous,” he once remarked. And while he was thinking about the future of the country and the generations to come, the standard of living within Russia had plummeted.Today, forgetting that dictatorship is a self inflicted wound, some intellectuals and humanitarians reason that simply sending more aid and increasing engagement are starting points to improving the political situation in Burma. But when they begin to regard the active opposition, as symbolized by Aung San Suu Kyi, as increasingly irrelevant, the time has come to refresh their memory about Joseph Stalin and the enormous price of dictatorship. It is one thing to want to bring Burma into the international community, but it is another to coddle and nurture tyrants without speaking out against their inhumane acts.So far, newly elected U.S. President Barack Obama and Foreign Secretary Hillary Clinton have taken a cautious and slow approach toward Burma. But in a world of competing interests and ideology, it will be a great tragedy if they fail to take a firm stand against the dictators in Burma.After all, the United States and its allies helped reform the militaries in Indonesia and Turkey within democratic transitions and transformations. Now, the U.S., United Nations, ASEAN and the European Union need decisive and effective leadership to help Burma. Obama and Clinton have a great chance to seize this mantle…if they are willing to seriously take on the leadership role.Today, even as Burma’s generals tragically act more and more like Stalin, could it not be that the army as an institution in Burma was originally inspired by similar beliefs to those of countries such as Indonesia and Turkey? This should offer an important clue as to where to begin with Burma.
