FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY FOR LAOS. NEW VIETNAMESE AND
UIGHUR SUPPORTS TO THE 26 OCTOBER DEMONSTRATIONS
Paris-Strasbourg, 22 October
2002. New testimonies of support to the demonstrations
that will take place this Saturday 26 October in front
of the embassies of the Lao People Democratic Republic
in Australia, Belgium, France, Russia and United
States, are arriving. Information on the modalities
for participating at the demonstrations can be found
on www.radicalparty.org
Statement of Enver Can, President of the East
Turkestan (Uyghuristan) National Congress:
"The 26th October will be a special day for all
suppressed peoples around the world: It will be the
Third Anniversary of the non-violent demonstrations on
the 26 October 1999 for freedom, democracy and
national reconciliation in Laos, during which five Lao
students of the democratic movement disappeared. The
coming Anniversary will also be a day of hope for all
democrats, freedom fighters and human rights defenders
who demonstrate in different parts of the world for
those who sacrificed their lives for democratic values.
We, Uyghurs, as an oppressed people who suffer under
the Chinese dictatorial regime, will co-operate with
other democrats for a global approach of the fight for
the freedom. Lets globalise democracy, freedom and
justice. Freedom and human rights are inseparable.
Together we will be stronger and closer to our goal.
The Uyghur people around the world demonstrate its
solidarity with the Laotian democrats and support the
demonstration on 26 October 2002, jointly organised by
the Lao Movement for human Rights, the Transnational
Radical Party and Forum Asia Democracy."
Statement of Quan Nguyen M.D., Chairman of the
International Support Committee to the Non Violent
Movement For Human Rights in Vietnam:
"On behalf of my organisation and of all Vietnamese
who love freedom and democracy, I would like to send
you our solidarity and supports for the Lao's
demonstrations on the 26 October, 2002. Dictators in
Asia help each other. We need to speak as one voice
against the dictatorial regimes in Asia. We need to
join forces to fight against their atrocities and to
do everything possible to bring freedom and democracy
to Vientiane, Hanoi, Rangoon and everywhere in Asia.
In that spirit I wish you every success and I salute
all Lao freedom fighters who have sacrificed their
lives for the noble cause that all of us share."
