Immediate Release

We, members of FRC are extremely shocked and frustrated for reading the news about Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh as they were attacked by some (100) local goons which caused one death and more than (20) have been injured in recent days.

We entirely condemn to all concern parties who are behind the plot and Bangladeshi news media which published the falsify news over the incidence as an attempt to hide the reality. 

Indeed the attack is to deem as preplanned and village administrative member, namely Bakkar and some security forces from Ukhiya police station were involved in it. We say it is just killing, murder and intentional offensive.

LONDON — Even as a senior Burmese diplomat in Washington has defected, Burmese prodemocracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has suggested that some people, both at home and abroad, have deceived themselves into thinking a new government has brought change to her country.

Political dynamic is undergoing a slow transformation in Burma (aka Myanmar) and the neighboring states are being forced to respond accordingly. Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna was in Yangon last month to engage the new civilian government which came to office in March. His visit came a year after the visit of Myanmar's reclusive military leader, Gen. Than Shwe, who heads the State Peace and Development Council, to India, which rolled out a red carpet for him and signed a raft of pacts including treaties on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, counter terrorism, development projects, science and technology and information cooperation.

New Delhi (Mizzima) – The Burmese National League for Democracy party–claiming freedom of association is a universal human right–plans to take its legal status case to the United Nations Council of Human Rights (UNCHR).

According to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, freedom of association and organization is a universally recognized human right. However, the NLD has been threatened by the new government, which has called it an illegal organization. The NLD plans to submit its case within two weeks.

“According to these procedures, the case can be presented to the UNCHR when all the domestic legal remedies are exhausted in a certain country,” NLD spokesman and lawyer Nyan Win told Mizzima.

Maungdaw, Arakan State: Zawhir Ahmed, a 65-year-old Rohingya prisoner in Akyab (Sittwe) Jail, died on July 14 following beatings and torture, according to another prisoner from the jail on condition of anonymity. 
“He was beaten by some Natala (model) villagers who are also serving sentences in the jail,” the prisoner said.

“The Natala villagers and Zawhir had a tense relationship inside the jail, as he was a ward in charge of the prisoners when an accident happened on July 12.”

When Burma’s opposition figurehead Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest on 13 November last year, one of the first things she called for at her National League for Democracy party (NLD) headquarters was the “rule of law”.

For once, the government in Burma and main rival the NLD appear to be in agreement – at least on the surface – given the government and its mouthpiece the New Light of Myanmar has been full of allusions to “the law” in recent weeks. What remains however is the wildly different interpretation of what constitutes the rule of law in Burma these days. Having initiated a series of new laws under the sham 2008 constitution and its subsequent election last year, the Burmese government is suddenly all about playing by the book – which of course it wrote – in trying to contain the actions of Suu Kyi and her party. Meanwhile, the NLD continues to dismiss recently passed laws in relation to the new constitution, the election law and political party registration law, deeming them illegitimate and undemocratic.

(Bangkok) - The Burmese army's abusive treatment of convicts who are forced to serve as porters under dangerous front-line conditions constitutes war crimes, Human Rights Watch and the Karen Human Rights Group said in a joint report released today.

The 70-page report, "Dead Men Walking: Convict Porters on the Front Lines in Eastern Burma," details abuses against convict porters including summary executions, torture, and the use of the convicts as "human shields." The military should stop forcibly recruiting prisoners as porters and mistreating them, and those responsible for ordering or participating in such treatment should be prosecuted, Human Rights Watch and the Karen Human Rights Group said.

Reporter Zoe Daniel with National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
In a crumbling, rambling old home by a lake sits a diminutive woman thoughtfully responding to the volley of questions from a relative stranger. Aung San Suu Kyi may be small, polite and gentle but don’t be misled. Even now in her mid 60s she’s an immoveable, seemingly unshakeable force and a powerhouse of ideas and aspirations for the people of Burma.

The outsider is Foreign Correspondent’s Zoe Daniel who had spent months negotiating an interview with Burma’s most famous figure and then planning how to pull it off. Since Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest she’s been under constant covert and overt surveillance by the authorities, so sealing a time and place for this exchange is one thing - getting there and getting it done is another.

Dear All,

Nine days after U Kyaw Win, Deputy Chief of the Burmese regime embassy in Washington defected, another Burmese regime diplomat has defected today in Washington, DC.

First Secretary U Soe Aung was summoned by the Burmese regime on July 12, 2011, to come back to Burma with his family within 24 hours and report to the authorities in Nay Pyi Taw by July 15, 2011. He was asked to return the house he was staying with his family, rented by the embassy, to the embassy yesterday and leave for Burma with his family at 2:00 PM. The Burmese regime also assigned another official, former Major Kyaw Tin Shein to escort him and his family on their way back to Burma and supervise his return.

ျမန္မာျပည္တြင္ ေမွးမွိန္စျပဳလာေသာ စစ္အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးစနစ္ေဟာင္းတရပ္ ကြယ္ေပ်ာက္၍ ဒီမိုကေရစီကို အာမခံေသာ သမၼတ သိန္းစိန္ႏွင့္အတူ ၾကံံ့ဖြတ္အစိုးရသစ္တရပ္ ေပၚေပါက္လာခဲ့ၿပီ ျဖစ္သည္။ တၿပိဳင္တည္းမွာပင္ တစံုတရာေျပာင္း လဲမႈကိုလိုလားေသာ သမၼတ သိန္းစိန္ ႏွင့္ ေရွး႐ိုးစြဲတရားေသမူ၀ါဒကို လိုလားေသာ ဒုသမၼတ တင္ေအာင္ျမင္ဦး တို႔၏ အာဏာလြန္ဆြဲပြဲေၾကာင့္ ႏိုင္ငံေရး၊ စီးပြားေရး တိုးတက္ေအာင္ လုပ္ေဆာင္ႏိုင္မႈမ်ား လက္ေတြ႔မျပႏိုင္ျဖစ္ေနဆဲ ျဖစ္ သည္။

မူလလက္ေဟာင္း စစ္အစိုးရလက္ထက္တြင္ ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္တာ၀န္ယူခဲ့ေသာ သိန္းစိန္ အေနျဖင့္ ဒီမိုကေရစီ ေဖၚေဆာင္ေရးတြင္ အခက္အခဲမ်ားေတြ႔ရမည္ကို အမ်ားကေမွ်ာ္လင့္ထားခဲ့ၿပီး ျဖစ္သည္။ အခ်ဳိ႕ သံတမန္မ်ား အဆိုအရ အဓိကျပသနာသည္ တင္ေအာင္ျမင့္ဦး ျဖစ္ၿပီး၊ ၎၏ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးက႑တြင္ ၀င္ေရာက္ေႏွာက္ယွက္မႈႏွင့္ ကာကြယ္ေရး ဦးစီးခ်ဳပ္အေပၚ အာဏာျပလိုမႈမွာ အဓိက အခက္အခဲမ်ားျဖစ္ေနသည္ဟု ဆိုသည္။ ထို႔အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ သမၼတ ၏ စီးပြားေရး ျပဳျပင္ေျပာင္းလဲမႈလုပ္ငန္း၊ ႏိုင္ငံေရးအက်ဥ္းသား ၂၀၀၀ ေက်ာ္လႊတ္ေပးေရးတို႔တြင္ အေကာင္အထည္မေပၚ ျဖစ္ခဲ့သည္။

Forced to flee due to the brutal repression of the military regime in Burma, Rohingya refugees have been living in camps in southern Bangladesh for nearly three decades.

 The lucky ones are granted asylum in a wealthy nation.

 In a three part series Ric Wasserman follows the journey of the Ahmed family from the squalor of their refugee camp to their new home on the other side of the world in cold suburban Sweden.

From Tropical Squalor to Snow Covered Suburbia


Forced to flee due to the brutal repression of the military regime in Burma, Rohingya refugees have been living in camps in southern Bangladesh for nearly three decades.
For the last three months, our reporter in Bangladesh, Ric Wasserman, has been tracing the lives of a group of these Rohingyas.
In a three part series we follow the Ahmed family, refugees living in squalor and with few lifelines.
Until one day, when their lives take an unexpected and remarkable turn.
Southeast Asia's _ and probably the world's _ most revered female political icon reached out to the region's newest female political icon when Aung San Suu Kyi extended her congratulations last week to Yingluck Shinawatra, who is set to become Thailand's first female prime minister after the Pheu Thai Party's decisive victory in last Sunday's general election. Mrs Suu Kyi, who was in the ancient Burmese city of Pagan, noted that Ms Yingluck is a woman who was chosen to be the leader of a nation in a fair democratic election. The same can be said of Mrs Suu Kyi, although of course she was prevented by the military from taking her role after her National League for Democracy Party won an overwhelming victory in 1990.
