 1 European Karen Network sends its condolences to the family of Padoh Saw David Taw, a prominent Karen leader of the Karen National Union (KNU), who passed away on 14th October2012 in Rangoon. Padoh Saw David Taw was born in Rangoon on 10 March, 1948. He graduated from Rangoon University with a Bachelors of Art in history. He joined the struggle to free his people since he was young, and later became Executive Committee member of the KNU, carrying out important work for the Karen resistance. He was a leading member of the KNU’s delegation that negotiated the-ceasefire agreement with the Burmese government earlier this year in January 2012.

 European Karen Network is saddened by the loss of a great leader. He was a fearless and impressive leader, which earns him respect as one of the leading ethnic politicians in a modern Burma. He was hard working, and he dedicated his whole life in the struggle for freedom for his people and a federal democratic Burma. He had made a significant contribution to the current developments in the country. 

European Karen Network sends heartfelt sympathy to his family and the Karen National Union. Padoh Saw David Taw will be remembered for his love and the work that he had done for his people. … End…
