| Canada renews sanctions on Burma following Su Kyi's release |
| Sunday, November 14, 2010 |
OTTAWA, (Xinhua) -- Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on Saturday that Canada will continue to keep sanctions against Burma even Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest the same day.
"I am pleased that Aung San Suu Kyi has finally been released from house arrest in Burma," Harper said in a statement."Those sanctions will remain in place."
Harper, who is in Yokohama, Japan for the APEC summit, said that Canada stands resolutely with Burma's democratic forces and like-minded members of the international community in the quest to restore civilian government to the Burmese people.
"We continue to call on the Burmese authorities to release all political prisoners and allow the meaningful political participation of all Burma's opposition and ethnic groups," he added.
Suu Kyi, who has spent 15 of the past 21 years in detention without trial, was freed by the government of Burma after her latest 7? years term of house arrest expired and after a general election was held in Burma.
In December, 2007, Canada granted Suu Kyi honorary Canadian citizenship and imposed the tough sanctions against Burma to " indicate its condemnation of the regime's complete disregard for human rights and its repression of the country's democratic movement."
Measures of the sanctions include a ban on all goods imported from Burma into Canada and exported from Canada to Burma, excepting only the export of humanitarian goods; a freeze on assets in Canada of any designated Burmese nationals connected with the Burmese State; a ban on new investment in Burma by Canadian persons and companies.
They also cover a prohibition on the provision of Canadian financial services to and from Burma; a prohibition on the export of any technical data to Burma; a prohibition on Canadian- registered ships or aircraft from docking or landing in Burma; a prohibition on Burmese-registered ships or aircraft from docking or landing in Canada and passing through Canada.

"who put family second to country, who for her convictions made an unbearable choice—not to see her sons grow and not to be with her husband as he lost his life to a long and painful cancer. Suu Kyi, with an idea too big for any jail and a spirit too strong for any army, changes our view — as only real heroes can — of what we believe to be possible."BONO
