Roundtable: Election Will Not Help Ethnic Groups

By SAW YAN NAING

In a roundtable discussion held at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, representatives of Burma's ethnic groups who are living in exile agreed that the political landscape in Burma will not change in the wake of Burma's Nov. 7 general election because the 2008 Constitution grants no significant rights to ethnic groups.


“The 2008 constitution doesn’t protect and promote the right of ethnic nationalities,” said Kwe Hsay, an ethnic Karen who participated in the roundtable. “So how will the election be free and fair?”

UN Chief Starts Asian Tour in Thailand

BANGKOK — UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon started a four-country Asian tour Tuesday in Bangkok, where tight security was in place to prevent anti-government protesters from "embarrassing" Thailand in front of the UN chief.

The country's army chief, Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha, warned so-called Redshirt protesters who staged paralyzing protests earlier this year that rallies were "absolutely prohibited" during Ban's visit.

Looking Beyond Burma's 2010 Elections

NEW YORK—While scores of international observers wait on tenterhooks for the first election in Burma in two decades - and one of only three multiparty elections in 60 years – a report by the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights there suggests that the world need not wait for Nov. 7 to judge the outcome.

"The election process has been deeply flawed and disappointing," Tomas Quintana said this week.
Early in September, Burma's military Elections Commissioner announced that voting will not be held in some 3,300 villages in the Shan state, effectively disenfranchising 1.5 million voters.
Over 2,000 prisoners of conscience, including Nobel Peace Prize laureate and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, continue to languish in prison despite repeated calls from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and others for their release.

Farmers Fight for Their Land in Kachin State

By KO HTWE
“Every day, I can hear farmers crying. I see their despair and their tears,” said Bauk Ja, a Kachin farmer who lost her land to the Yuzana Company in December 2008. “We farmers depend on our land for agriculture. It is our livelihood and our life. Without land, we have nothing!”

Junta Calls KIA “Insurgents”

The Burmese junta decribed the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), a cease-fire group which operates on the Sino-Burmese border, as “insurgents” in state-run-newspapers on Friday, ceasing to call them a cease-fire group which they have done since signing a cease-fire agreement with the KIA in 1994.

The state-run newspapers described the KIA as “insurgents” in a report blaming the KIA for a mine blast which killed two and injured one in Kachin State on Wednesday.

Condemnation of Burmese regime’s hydropower project in Myitsone, Irrawaddy that bring human rights violations

We, Kachin National Organization, strongly express our condemnation of recent forced relocations and the reckless arrest of innocent Kachin youths and villagers by Burmese military junta in Kachin State.


The regime has started building a series of dams in Kachin State since 2007, without having approval of the local people concerned. The fact that the regime taking no measurable consideration of extreme negative impacts that would cause to the livelihoods of the area due to its action. It clearly demonstrates that SPDC takes into account of nothing but the benefits which would bring them.
