Influential 88 Group sends open letter to Burmese military regime

Comment left on Irrawaddy site:

88 Students' Group is the voice of reason.

How could the junta expect sanctions to be lifted first, and how could Daw Suu be responsible for sanctions?

It's spdc's own actions that brought about sanctions.

It has to show it is humane by stopping all abuses and doing what 88 Group suggests.

Otherwise all we will have are a sham referendum, a sham constitution, sham elections in 2010 and a sham "democracy."
