Min Ko Naing Custody By ABSDF Info Dept., (continue..) Dawn news bulletin (1990) |
 |
Though young, we have reacted with cool and calm. This is a fact well known to
the people. We are proud that Min Ko Naing was arrested for his just beliefs.
It is and honor for him and his work. How then do we pay our tribute to him?
Min Ko Naing would not be happy if we all decide to become targets for the militarists to shoot at. Min Ko Naing would feel very sad if that were to happen. So, what we should do is to show courage and continue flying the banner that Min Ko Naing has hoisted. In other words, we should rebuke the injustices being done by the military regime and contribute to the efforts towards censuring such injustices. Only through such efforts would we be honoring Min Ko Naing and serving the interests of the people. |

What the military regime should know is that we are not on a blind campaign
against it .What we are against are the injustices, the lies, and the senseless
rejection of guarantees for the people's future that the military regime
represents.
What is should also understand is that justice cannot be kept obscured indefinitely. You can not imprison all the people and as long as there are people outside the prison walls, our cause for justice will remain alive and well. |

One more thing that the military regime should know is that the historical
tide
can not be turned back with bullets, nor can the course of that tide be
diverted with falsehoods. If you intend to pursue a frenzied course that is
doomed to failure, despite the lessons history teaches us, you will not escape
the people's wrath, even after death. They will go after you with a vengeance
even if it means excavating your remains and putting them on trial. If the
military regime truly believes that justice is on its side in arresting Min Ko
Naing, then our comrade should be be brought to trial and allowed to answer
the
charges publicly.
With the exception of the Nazis and the Fascists regimes, this is what all reputable courts of the world do. If the military regime refuses to do that , it would amount to self-effacing the claim that it is just and fair. |
