The European Union views with concern the recent arrests by the Government of Burma/Myanmar of several leaders of the opposition, notably from the group “Generation 88”, who were protesting against the sharp rise of fuel prices and the economic burdens being heaped on the Burmese people.
Euroopa Liit on mures seoses Birma/Myanmari valitsuse poolt hiljuti teostatud vahistamistega, mis hõlmasid mitmeid, eelkõige "Põlvkond 88" rühmitusse kuuluvaid opositsioonijuhte, kes protesteerisid kütusehindade järsu hinnatõusu ja Birma elanike majandusliku koormamise vastu.
