Statement of Senator Judd Gregg on Burmese Junta’s Criminal Charges against Aung San Suu Kyi

May 19, 2009 -- Senator Judd Gregg last week released the following statement regarding the criminal charges filed against Burmese democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi by the ruling junta:
“The only thing criminal about Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been the abusive injustices she and her supporters have suffered under the State Peace and Development Council. Her transfer from house arrest to prison to face criminal charges is a serious matter that deserves the strongest condemnation from the world’s democracies – and from regional neighbors, including Thailand and China,” Senator Gregg stated.
“Suu Kyi and her supporters should not doubt for a single moment that we stand with them during this difficult time. I would hope those conducting a review of U.S. policy toward Burma take note of this unfortunate development, and redouble efforts to secure the immediate release of Suu Kyi,” Senator Gregg added.
