Special Release on Ban Ki Moon’s Trip |

Thursday, 16 July 2009 |
Date: July 13, 2009
Ref: 02/RLDB-HQ/2009
We are very much unhappy to hear the empty hand return of UN Secretary General Mr. Ban Ki Moon from Burma. Mr. Ban is a failure in persuading SPDC on having a meeting with Nobel Peace Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and he is also failure on her release including any of the political figures in Burma. Beside Ban’s unsuccessful trip, the movements of SPDC is observed as they are encourage on buying modern arms and on establishing a nuclear project along with China and Russia. Now the vision is clear and the world should take immediate action against SPDC on stopping them from continuously offending crimes against the humanity and crimes of wars through a global, strong and meaningful arms embargo. The international community should be realized that neither ASEAN’s initiative constructive engagement nor economic sanction by United State and European Community is useful at the regime but removal of SPDC from global society is the only way for survival the human beings in Burma. Indeed SPDC is practicing the Nazism and Fascism upon its own people but intentionally China and Russia attempt to brand it with internal crisis. We urge to all Burmese democracy supportive country as to reconsider their ties with China and Russia if these two countries continuously going to give the protection to Burmese brutal SPDC at UN. |

Maungdaw, Arakan State: The concerned authorities, namely Nasaka or Burma’s border security force, confiscated more than 1,000 acres of farmland in Maungdaw Township on June 15, a local from Kyikanpyin village said.
The confiscated lands belong to Kyikanpyin village tract, he added.
The authorities did not mention the reason for the confiscation. During the monsoon season, the authorities offered to take lease of the farm lands from the Nasaka, in a bid to cultivate the lands during the season, a farmer from the village said.
However, none of the farmers agreed to lease their lands and the area was existing as a grass field.
On the other hand, the concerned authorities with the Land Survey Committee members measured the lands and erected posts with red flags and marked the boundary area in Shweza village tract, claiming it was for the new settlers, who would come from Burma proper. But, still the owners of the lands would be able to cultivate on those field, a village authority member said. |

 Morning Edition, June 22, 2009 · Myanmar is a place of misery for many of its citizens. Political dissent isn't tolerated by the repressive, often brutal military rulers. And neither, it seems, is the country's ethnic Muslim minority, known as the Rohingya. NPR's Michael Sullivan visited the country and examined their plight. A friend brought me some pictures a few weeks back that were pretty disturbing. He works for an international aid agency, and the pictures were from a trip he took to visit some villages in Myanmar's northern Rakhine state, near the border with Bangladesh. |
