Hero, U Tin Oo, Leader of 1990 Election Wining Party (NLD)

Tin Oo is now released. He is the man of action and Burmese
people believe in his leadership. U Tin Oo earned deep respects
and high regards in the Burma's military. This is the reason why
junta put him under house arrest or in prison most of the time.
He is the ex-commander in chief of the military and he earned

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) welcomes the release of our

leader, U Tin Oo but unless junta fulfils above five main
principles demanded by legitimate leaders of Burma, we cannot
say that Burma is on the road to positive change.

We truly believe that with the added leadership of U Tin Oo,

NLD will effectively drive Burma future to the better place.
