Don't Back Down on Burma
C. Cox and B. Rogers, The Daily Telegraph | December 11, 2009
Aung Sun Suu Kyi's plight is well known, but there are more than 2000 other activists in Burmese prisons. ++ Many are subject to torture, denied medical treatment, and forced into manual labor. ++ Ethnic minorities face cultural genocide. ++ The UN has gone so far as to accuse the military junta of violating international law. ++ It is time for that government to be held accountable. ++ Real change in Burma will not come without "significant revision of the new constitution," and only international pressure will secure such an outcome.
