Letter to PCJSS and UPDF

Dear Members of both UPDF and PCJSS,

We note with hope and optimism the recent public statement made by UPDF
calling for the implementation of the CHT Peace Accord, originally signed by
PCJSS and Government of BD in 1997.

This remarkable development may represent a significant step forward toward
our common goal of peace and justice in the CHT.
We support all such steps toward this goal.

If we can continue to build a sustained focus on the achievement of peace and justice in the CHT,
a goal we all share, that in itself is a major achievement.
Sustaining that focus means that every step we take brings us closer to our goal.

We respect the right of every individual to hold their own values and visions and to share those values
and visions in a peaceful debate with others. When we extend this peaceful debate between groups
and parties, we have a meaningful democracy.

Allow us to support you and all those in favour of peace in the CHT as we take the steps together that bring us
closer to our common goal.

Kind regards,

Joyoti Grech
CHT Jumma Peoples Network of the Asia Pacific
