This rally and peaceful march is to highlight Burma's November 7 fake elections, based on the State Peace and Development Council's 2008 undemocratic constitution, which does not guarantee the basic human rights of people, ignores the principles of equality and popular sovereignty, and makes the military as a special privileged class allowing them to occupy 25 percent of the parliamentary seats in both National, and State and Region Parliaments.There will be no independent judiciary. Democratic voices of the people will not be tolerated and unjust laws remain in place. The constitution undermines federal democracy, ignores the agreed upon principle of 'unity in diversity' and effectively denies 'right of self-determination' of the ethnic nationalities. Therefore, the upcoming elections will not signify or advance democratic reform and, evidently, it is detrimental to the interest and against the aspiration of the people of Burma.
