今すぐビルマの政治囚の釈放を！
FREE BURMA’S POLITICAL PRISONERS NOW!
2009年3月13日、「ビルマ人権の日」に当たるこの日、署名キャンペーン「Free Burma’s Political Prisoners Now!」が始まりました（5月24日まで）。4月21日現在、世界5大陸32カ国で199の在外ビルマ人団体やビルマの民主化を求めるグループが参加しています。
これは、国連の播其文事務総長に対して、ビルマ軍政に全ての政治囚を釈放させることを事務総長自身が最重要課題とするよう、求めるものです。
キャンペーンでは、今年2009年5月24日（アウンサンスーチー氏の自宅軟禁をこれ以上延長できない、とビルマの法律上定められた期限）までに888,888筆の署名を集めることを目標にしています。“888888”という数字は、ビルマで過去最大の民主化運動が燃え上がり、そして軍事政権によって弾圧された1988年8月8日（ビルマ人にとっては忘れられない日です）を象徴したものです。
軍事政権が長く続くビルマでは、人権の抑圧が激しく、政治活動の自由や表現の自由はほとんどありません。その結果、現在2,100人以上の政治囚がビルマ各地の刑務所に捕らわれています。軍事政権は、昨年5月の「憲法草案に対する国民投票」など、「見せかけの民主化」プロセスを進めていますが、アウンサンスーチー氏も指摘するとおり、全ての政治囚の即時・無条件釈放がなければ、本当の民主化プロセスとはいえません。
ビルマ(ミャンマー)の人権状況・政治囚について
日本では、在日ビルマ人各団体のほか、ビルマの民主化を目指して活動するNGOが協力して、この署名キャンペーンに取り組んでいます。
政治囚の釈放には、皆さん一人ひとりの力が必要です。ビルマの民主化と政治囚の釈放を願う世界中の人びと共に、ぜひ声を上げていただきますよう、皆さまのご協力をどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Dear Burmese groups and Burmese friends in Japan,
(I may miss many groups or friends in this e-mail since I don't know their
E-mail addresses, so I would be happy if you could send forward this e-mail to
your friends or othre groups in Japan that I'm missing. Thank you.)
I am writing as I'd like to request a special favor from you.
I know some of you have already know about the Global signature campaign
" Free Burma 's Political Prisoners Now !!(organized by AAPP and FDB)
" and work so hard for the campaign here in Japan.
The petition calls on the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to make it his
personal priority to secure the release of all political prisoners in Burma, as
the essential first step towards national reconciliation and democratization in
the country. The target symbolizes 8.8.88, the day the junta massacred some
3,000 people who courageously protested in Burma’s largest democracy uprising.
Besides that, in Japan, we added one more point in this letter that; calling on
"the Japanese Government" to give more pressure on SPDC to release of
all political prisoners in Burma. And we will submit the signatures that we
collect in Japan not only to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon but also to
the MOFA.
As far as I know,the following organization have endorsed the campaign from
Japan.
-----------------------------
*Japanese Organizations:
People Forum on Burma ? Japan
Amnesty International ? Japan

Human Rights Now
Foundation for Human Rights in ASIA(FHRA)

-----------------------
Please find attached the press release announcing the quarter of a million
milestone, in case you haven't already seen it.
We have reached the milestone of 250,000 signatures now since the launch of the
campaign, we have only 3 weeks to go to reach the target of 888,888 signatures.
Now in Japan, many Burmese groups and Japanese NGOs are joining this campaign
and collecting signatures. But we need more support from ALL OF YOU/ YOUR
Organizations for getting to reach the target of 888,888 signatures by May
24th,2009!!!
If you have not endorsed the campaign, PLEASE PLEASE consider about it and join
us as soon as possible !
(If you would like to endorse the campaign, please let me know your
organization's name ASAP, so that I will inform the campaing head office.)
Now, every week the campaign committee tries to give an update on the number of
signatures on website or newsletter to the world, so from Japan, PFB is
collecting all the information - number of signatures from each organization and
