RANONG : Provincial authorities are taking steps to ensure the new ID cards for children are not issued to the offspring of foreign migrant workers.


A registration official of Yala municipality tests equipment for the production of ID cards for children aged seven and above. The issuance of ID cards for the young will begin on Sunday and officials of Yala municipality will produce ID cards for about 1,300 local children at their schools. MUHAMMAD AYUB PATHANRanong governor Wanchart Wongchaichana said yesterday children will be thoroughly screened to prevent the system being abused. The Identity Card Act of 2011 requires Thais to have ID cards from the age of seven to 70. Previously, the minimum age of ID card holders was 15. The issuance of the new cards will start this Sunday.

A Long History of Injustice Ignored: Rohingya: The Forgotten People of Our Time
By Dr. Habib Siddiqui

An often-practiced devious way to grab someones land is to deny his right to that property. Nothing could be more horrific when a government itself gets into such a criminal practice. The most glaring example of such a crime can be seen in the practices of the regimes that have ruled Burma (now Myanmar) since its independence from Britain in 1948 (esp. since 1962 when Gen. Ne Win came to power). In our times, one can hardly find a regime that has been so atrocious, so inhuman and so barbarous in its denial of basic human rights to a people that trace their origin to the land for nearly a millennium. [1[ The victims are the Rohingya Muslims living in the Arakan (now Rakhine) state. They have become the forgotten people of our time. The Burma Citizenship Law of 1982 has reduced them to the status of ғStateless.
BANGKOK - A COALITION of media groups on Thursday called on Myanmar to end the harassment of journalists and to release 17 video reporters serving long prison sentences in the military-dominated country.

A dozen organisations, including the Democratic Voice of Burma and Reporters Without Borders, urged the United Nations, the Asean regional bloc and the European Union to press Myanmar to release all jailed journalists.

'There is evidence that despite pledges to the contrary, freedom of the press and freedom of expression continue to deteriorate in Burma, with regulations over access to the Internet tightened and journalists now forced to self-censor with greater intensity,' they said in a joint statement.

 (Feature) – Rangoon University had a history of incidents of student discontent from British colonial times. But it is 7 July, 1962, that is remembered in Burma.

U Myo recalls when he was growing up, 7 July was like a religious holiday for school kids—no classes. Now a lawyer and member of the Thailand-based Burma Lawyer Council, Myo said he was young when he first heard of the traumatic events that befell students a few years before at the prestigious Rangoon University.
Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – A source close to the army said that the commander of the Rangoon Command, Brigadier General Tun Than, was relieved of his post on July 5.

If everything was going as planned, the general would have been promoted to Major General within a month.  But he was forced to resign, according to an unofficial source.

During a period of probation he had been earning the salary of a major general although he was still a brigadier general.
Unofficial sources said there are allegations that when he led the Rangoon Command he had accepted bribes and approved farmland to be used for building plots. The information could not be confirmed with other sources. Before he was dismissed, he had been posted in Taungoo, according to the source.

Kaladan Press: Rohingya living in Canada have requested help for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Thailand through an appeal petition to John Baird, Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, via honorable Member of Parliament Mr. Stephen Woodworth on June 30, according to Nur Hashim, the Chairperson of the Canadian Burmese Rohingya Organization (CBRO).

“The Rohingya in Canada (CBRO) had a meeting with Member of Parliament Mr. Stephen Woodworth of the Conservative Government in his office, Suite 12, 300 Victoria Street North, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada on June 30 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.”
“At the meeting, we explained to Mr. Woodworth about the situation of the Rohingya community from northern Arakan, Burma, where the authorities have imposed various restrictions on movement, education, marriage, etc.”

 He is a good looking man – or he would be, if it wasn’t for the hollowness of his eyes, something about them, that gives the impression that they’re looking at the world in a different, darker way than most other people.

And Mohammed Rohim (28) does indeed have reason to view the world differently.   After all, he is a Rohingya in Bangladesh.  That means that he’s had about a tough a life as it’s possible to have on this earth.
The predominantly Muslim Rohingya come from Rakhine state in western Myanmar, and they are arguably the worst treated of all of the country’s ethnic minorities.  They need official permits to marry, own land or move to another area.  They are often recruited as unpaid porters, used as human mine detectors and heavily taxed in crops and money.  So badly have they been treated, that for years, they’ve been escaping across the river to neighbouring Bangladesh.

Under the tormenting sun in Teknaf, on the southeastern tip of Bangladesh, Ahmed puts us straight: it is really all about love. His wife stands next to him in his tarpaulined shop in the unofficial Kutupalong refugee camp in southern Bangladesh. He came here, Ahmed says, to marry his childhood sweetheart, fleeing what Physicians for Human Rights, a watchdog group, describes as ‘flagrant and widespread human rights abuses’ that condemned Ahmed to having to pay an exorbitant bribe just to marry. Today, his 18-month-old baby crawls over small packets of paan and snacks on sale, mimicking his father’s voice unknowingly, describing the indescribable – how Rohingya women were told by the Burmese military that, in order to marry, they would have to have an implant rendering them infertile.

It’s the “Rohingya problem.” Burma’s history of brutal persecution of the Rohingya – coupled with their lack of citizenship rights – have forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh. Bangladesh’s Minister of Food and Disaster Management, Abdul Razzaque, recently blamed western countries for “keeping the problem alive.”

BURMA is a homeland that has been sick and wounded for a long time. It is a land with rivers that are flowing sores. It seas and oceans is full of poisons. It is a home to men and women who are scattered, families and friends who became desolate and uncertain wanderers parched by the various toxics of social unrest, economic hardships, a long standing civil war between the ethnic revolutionary groups and the Burmese military regime, political turmoil, human rights violations and abuses, and many other problems of the same nature. It is like a wilderness home to frightened and desolate people, – the ethnic peoples of Burma, who are governed by vile and vicious vultures, – the ruling military generals in Nayphitaw, – the manipulators of illusions and deceit, who are blinded and devil possessed by their quest and pursuit for power and the preservation of status quo. Burma is a land home to countless Burmese people who have died and suffered in fighting against its atmosphere filled with oily smoke of countless hellish fires of anguish, torment and misery.
 (Mizzima) – Japan based Burmese pro-democracy forces and the Secretary of the Japan MP Union discussed Japanese foreign policy towards Burma in Tokyo on Wednesday.

The discussion centered on the issue of possibility of foreign policy change towards Burma and its future prospects, one of the participants at this meeting, Dr. Min Nyo from the Tokyo based-Burma Office, told Mizzima.

The meeting was attended by the MP Union Secretary and ruling Democratic Party Upper House MP Azuma Konno, officials from the Burma Office, the Japan Trade Union and a representative from the Network of Democracy in Burma (NDB). The meeting was held at the office of Azuma Konno in the MP residential block.

The fighting in Shan State, news of importing nuclear weapon technology from North Korea, the use of child soldiers and forced labour issues were also discussed.

 
It’s hard not to be bemused by the timing and nature of the recent defection of a top Burmese diplomat in the US. In a letter yesterday, Kyaw Win, the embassy’s deputy chief of mission in Washington, told Hillary Clinton: “…my conscience would no longer allow me to work for the government.” He is now seeking asylum, fearing retribution if he returns to Burma.

Until yesterday, Kyaw Win had been a solid career diplomat with more than three decades experience in the Burmese foreign ministry. That a man so familiar with the machinations of the regime takes so long to acknowledge that “democratic change under this system will not happen in the foreseeable future,” as the letter laments, is somewhat mystifying. But the timing of the decision, during a period when Naypyidaw is winning plaudits from key international players for seemingly little, appears on the surface a bold statement of protest.
“When I first began my service in the Foreign Ministry I thought that, over time and perhaps with the help of my efforts, the military would ease its grip and send Myanmar [Burma] on a path to greater political pluralism,” he wrote in the letter. “However, the truth is that senior military officials are consolidating their grip on power and seeking to stamp out the voices of those seeking democracy, human rights and individual liberties. Oppression is rising and war against our ethnic cousins is imminent and at present, threats are being made against Aung San Suu Kyi — they must be taken seriously.”


Despite efforts to initiate a ceasefire negotiation on June 17 and 30 by means of meetings between representatives of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the Burmese government, fresh clashes between the KIA and Burma armed forces took place on July 2 and 3 in different parts of the Kachin State, Kachin News Group has reported.
On July 2, the Mohnyin Township – Sinbo-based and KIA Battalion 5 – was engaged with Burmese soldiers who tried to penetrate the KIA-controlled area. At least 20 Burmese soldiers died, according to an unnamed source.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The No. 2 diplomat in Myanmar's embassy in Washington is seeking asylum in the United States because the reports in which he outlined his government's failures have put him in danger, he said on Tuesday.
Career diplomat Kyaw Win sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a letter before dawn July 4 spelling out his disillusionment with the lack of reform in the Southeast Asian nation also known as Burma, he told Reuters.
Flimsy huts spawl over the hillside at the Kutupalong camp in Bangladesh (Joseph Allchin)

Days of heavy rain in eastern Bangladesh have sparked panic in the unofficial Kutupalong camp that houses tens of thousands of refugees from Burma, with flimsy huts destroyed and food shortages worsening.
A Kutupalong camp committee member told the Bangladesh-based Kaladan Press Network yesterday that several huts had been washed out, while many others had lost roofs.
Concerns have also mounted about the ability of the refugees in the camp, none of whom are recognised by the UN’s refugee agency and thus receive no UN assistance, to provide food for themselves, with their normal means of making money scuppered by the extreme weather conditions.

Maungdaw, Arakan state: The Human Trafficking Control Department has been harassing the Rohingya community since the first week of this month, said an elder from Maungdaw.

“The Human Trafficking Control Department was established six months ago to control the trafficking of people from northern Arakan to other countries like Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, the Middle East, and India.”

“Most of the Rohingya are now going to Bangladesh, then to Malaysia or Thailand. The Rakhine are also going to Bangladesh and India by crossing the border.”

“The Rakhine, who are able to move to Rangoon or other parts of Burma, go to Thailand through Myawaddy, then to Malaysia. Some are going with international passports which are issued by the Burmese authorities.”

In the three months since Burma’s Parliament swore in a quasi-civilian government on March 30, the country has seen a significant increase in visits from foreign policy makers, ministers and diplomats.

Since mid-May, at least nine senior officials and delegations have visited Burma, including US Senator John McCain, a fiery critic of the country’s ruling regime; US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Yun; a high-ranking EU delegation; acting UN Special Envoy Vijay Nambiar; and Russian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexey Borodavkin.

This doesn’t even include a number of visits by high-ranking officials from China, India and other neighboring countries that enjoy friendly relations with the capital city of Naypyidaw. Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd recently became the latest to travel to the country to meet with government leaders and democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi. Still others are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

Dear Secretary Clinton,

I am writing to inform you that, as of today, I have no choice but to leave the service of the
Government of Myanmar and I am formally requesting political asylum in the United States for me and my family. After over 31 years of service in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I had lost confidence and my conscience would no longer allow me to work for the government. It has always been my hope that democratic reform could finally be realized in my country. The truth is that, despite the election that was held up as a democratic process, the military continues to hold uncontested power and democratic change under this system will not happen in the foreseeable future.
 
Prof. Kanbawza Win

These words were taken from a poem by our beloved Bogyoke Aung San, father of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, during his university days when Burma was struggling against the British imperialism. Originating from the mythical bird Phoenix of Chinese, Egyptian, Russian and America’s first nations traditions, the architect of the modern Burma has skilfully designed it into a fighting peacock (Peacock at that time was the emblem of Burman/Myanmar nationalist), obviously no self style Farang Burmese expert could comprehend and often describe this flag of a strange bird. This mystical bird never die, it flies far ahead to the front, always scanning the landscape and distance space.

 A high-ranking Burmese embassy official says a lack of political progress pushed him to defect.The number two diplomat at the Burmese Embassy in Washington, D.C. has defected and is now seeking political asylum in the United States.

Deputy Chief of Mission Kyaw Win, 59, told RFA he made the decision to leave the government because he saw little hope for Burma’s future and because he fears “my life and those of my family are in danger.”

 Kyaw Win said that after Burma held historic elections last November, he expected the government to begin a transition to democracy. Instead, he said, nothing has changed and “the military continues to hold uncontested power.”

• Calls on Member states to extend all in possible forms of support and assistance to Burmese Muslims and particularly to those among them living as refugees outside their homeland.

The government led by Thein Sein declared to the world that it was elected by the people in accordance with democratic principles; that his government has walked away from the previous regimes’ path and intends to bring back democracy to the Burmese people; and that his government will abide by the rule of law, which has been lacking in Burma since the 1962 military coup. For that reason we are demanding the following facts from Thein Sein’s government:
VATICAN CITY - TROOPS in Myanmar are carrying out 'ethnic cleansing' against the mainly Christian Kachin ethnic minority near the Chinese border, the missionary news agency Fides reported on Friday. 

Citing a local Catholic priest, Fides said fighting had forced 20,000 people to leave their homes so far and the number was increasing by the day.
Priests and nuns in the area 'are doing everything to help the ethnic Kachin refugees, almost all Christians, victims of a brutal repression carried out by the Burmese military', the priest was quoted as telling the Rome-based agency. 


Clashes began when the government struck an agreement with China on the construction of a dam in the northern region, which would force the evacuation and flooding of villages where the Kachin people live, Fides said. 

'They are women, children and old people who are at the mercy of the soldiers. These, when they meet the Kachin villages, carry out, for revenge, all sorts of violence, abuse and ransacking,' the priest said. 'They kill old people and children, rape women, burn homes, confiscate properties. They use ruthless methods to ethnic cleansing.'

The priest also said there was a risk of a 'humanitarian emergency' in the area for refugees out in the open as the rainy season approaches. -- AFP

The future of Aung San Suu Kyi and her amazing movement for democracy in Burma is hanging in the balance this week, and we could make the difference.

Suu Kyi has bravely called on the military regime to free the thousands of monks and peaceful activists still held in horrific prisons, some in cramped dog cages. Unprecedentedly, thousands of Burmese have risked their own safety to join her call for freedom through an online petition! Yesterday, the regime issued an ominous warning to Suu Kyi – and the Generals may be deciding right now between dialogue or another brutal crackdown.

Britain expressed strong concern on Thursday at the "menacing" attitude of Burma authorities towards pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, after she was told to stay out of politics.Burma's regime told Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday to halt all political activities 

Britain warns Burma over 'menacing' tone towards Aung San Suu Kyi "I am very concerned by the menacing tone the Burmese state media has taken towards Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy," Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement.
"The authorities' warning that she will face consequences unless she plays by their rules is at odds with their message on dialogue and reconciliation."
"Aung San Suu Kyi should be able to travel freely and without risk to her personal security. The international community will be watching developments closely," he added.
Burma's regime told Suu Kyi on Wednesday to halt all political activities and warned that her planned first national tour since being freed in November from seven straight years of house arrest could spark riots and chaos.
