UN rights body condemns Burma
The United Nations human rights council has strongly condemned Burma's record. In a resolution passed in Geneva, the body speaks of systematic rights violations and calls on Burma's military leaders to free all political prisoners immediately.
It also urges the authorities to open a dialogue with all political forces. But Burma's ruling generals have said there can be no room in the country's political process for the democratic opposition led by Aung San Suu Kyi.
