Letter 1. Please add your name to this petition to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.  
Ban Ki-moon must go to Burma to secure the release of all political prisoners in Burma including Aung San Suu Kyi.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDITABLE PETITION TEXT:  

Dear Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
 
Over the past few weeks, over 100 peaceful human rights activists have been sentenced to long prison terms in Burma.  We ask you to keep your promise to travel to Burma to demand that all political prisoners are immediately released. We ask you to set a deadline of December 2008 for these releases -- which should coincide with your trip to Burma.
 
For too long, Burma's military regime has used prisoners of conscience as political pawns -- releasing a few before trips by UN envoys, only to arrest more after the UN leaves from Burma.
 
Even though the UN Security Council, General Assembly, and Human Rights Council have called on Burma's regime to release all political prisoners, the regime has nearly doubled the number of prisoners in the last year alone.  Prisoners include courageous Buddhist monks who participated it the Saffron Revolution, student leaders, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi.
 
This December presents an opportunity for you to obtain fulfillment of the UN's demands -- the release of every single political prisoner in Burma. 
 
Lastly, we urge you to publicly offer your support for a global arms embargo on Burma.  We hope the Secretary General will stand firm against the sale of weapons to a military regime that only uses guns against its own people.
 
Sincerely,
