The European Union expresses its strong concern following reports on the health of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League of Democracy and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and on the recent detention of her physician, Dr Tin Myo Win.
The EU calls on the authorities of Burma/Myanmar to guarantee for Ms Suu Kyi immediate and proper medical care, as well as access for her personal attorney. It furthermore recalls that her house arrest, which has been imposed in clear breach of international norms, will expire this month, and therefore again urgently calls for her unconditional release.
On the sad occasion of the anniversary of Ms Suu Kyi’s detention, the EU urges the authorities to halt systematic torture and denial of health care to prisoners and to release all political prisoners.
