Summary:

Burma is one of the most tightly controlled dictatorships in the world. For more than four decades, Burma s 50 million people have been oppressed by military rulers who have systematically impoverished the country s natural and human resources. The country is home to a genuine democracy movement, but it is brutally suppressed by the military government. Recognizing that democracy and the National League for Democracy (led by Aung San Suu Kyi) cannot survive in Burma without the help of the United States and the international community, this report sounds a clarion call for change."
