UN Security Council must take
action on Burma - Cuffe
|
Green Party Foreign Affairs
spokesperson Ciarán Cuffe TD has called on the UN Security
Council to take immediate action to quell the increasingly violent
actions of the ruling military junta in Burma.
Deputy Cuffe said "We now know that up to ten people have
been killed by the ruling junta's violent crackdown on the peaceful
pro-democracy protests that have been taking place for the past
number of days. The international community has a responsibility to
send a clear and unequivocal message to the military junta in Burma
that such human rights violations are not acceptable.
"I support the call of my colleague Dermot Ahern TD, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, for the UN Security Council to take immediate and
decisive action on this issue. The Green Party has written to the
Burmese Consulate in London requesting that the junta allow peaceful
protest to take place and to open a genuine and open dialogue to
move towards reconciliation."
