Rakhaing women condemn Myanmar's referendum

Rakhaing Women's Union (RWH) strongly condemned holding referendum by the Myanmar's military junta for approving the draft constitution and opposed illegitimate result of May 10, says a press release.
In a statement, RWH said while 100,000 people died and millions are subjected to living in abject poverty, the Burmese junta, instead of helping the people, still insists on continuing with its sham referendum for approving the draft constitution written by its hand-picked people.
The military junta is further trying to enshrine its role in ruling the country and to deny the people's aspirations for democratic rights.
This also seems the unwillingness of the military junta to care for its people only to stay in power, the statement added.
The RWH also demanded resignation of the military junta.
It also demanded that the UN Security Council should pass a resolution invoking its responsibility to ensure that the Nargis victims get aids quickly.
The RWH called on the international community to offer its deepest sympathy to cyclone survivors and also strongly advise the military regime to allow humanitarian assistance to reach quickly those so desperately in need.
