Rights groups based in the Philippines demanding for the return of democracy and justice in military ruled-Myanmar today assailed the recent move of the military junta in Burma to extend the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) for another year.

Mindanao Peaceweavers’ Letter to the OIC on its visit in Mindanao

Knowing the tremendous effort that the OIC had exerted to broker the Peace Agreement with the MNLF in 1996, your visit in Mindanao today could be a moment to celebrate and a time to count the dividends of peace that you have helped broker 10 years ago. But sadly, we have not yet arrived at the situation which the government, MNLF and the OIC collectively envisioned in 1996. After your field visit, you will surely find a lot of problems and challenges that the Bangsamoro communities still face today despite the 1996 Peace Agreement.
