Thomas H. Andrews: “In fact, they are re-arresting or arresting new political prisoners for speaking out.”

Just yesterday, a 7-year-old girl was shot and killed by Burmese security forces.

This is a security issue, if I have ever seen one, and it demands the attention of the world at the highest levels.

It is my sincere hope that the United States and the international community will rise to the occasion of this historic moment.

The people of Burma need to know that the people of the United States and the world are with them not only in word but in deed.
