SOLIDARITY MESSAGE
Kohima, October 5, 2007

Joining the International Day of Action for a Free Burma on October 6, 2007, Naga Hoho is disturbed in regards to the current human rights crisis in Myanmar (Burma). The international community irrespective of small or powerful nations should condemn the military JUNTA firing upon and arresting monks and peaceful civilian demonstrators and act immediately for prevention of further violence and bloodshed. The brutal repression that took place in 1988 resulting in the deaths of over 3,000 people must not be repeated. The people of Burma have the right to peacefully express their views and the government of Burma has the responsibility to respect and uphold the right to peaceful protest.
Naga Hoho urge the members of the United Nations Security Council to immediately intervene and resolve the long-standing human rights problems in Burma, including the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners. Naga Hoho also call on China and other Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries specially India and Japan, to use their influence on Burma to allow for peaceful protests and stop any violence against the protesters.
