In September 2007, thousands of Buddhist monks led the “saffron revolution,” a series of peaceful marches in response to military oppression and a dire economic situation in Myanmar, formerly Burma.

Since then, three monks who escaped Myanmar and settled in Utica, N.Y., have continued campaigning across the United States for democracy and human rights for their country with the All Burma Monks’ Alliance.

During the revolution, U Gawsita was beaten by military soldiers, along with hundreds other protesters. “When our nonviolent protest began to threaten power of authority, the government accused us as terrorists, and started to crack down with guns and sticks,” he said.

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) yesterday arrested a Rohingya man they allege helped arrange worker registration and produce fake immigrant worker ID cards

or some 7,000 Rohingya people before sending them off as fishery workers and maids.

DSI spokesman Pol Colonel Narat Sawettanant said 63-year-old suspect Kareem Kasem was caught while registering four Rohingya persons at Chumphon’s Tha Sae district. He was charged with being a middleman to arrange immigrant workers ID cards for Rohingya and other aliens. Kasem was taken to the Criminal Court for an appearance pending trial.

Narat said this arrest was part of a DSI and National Security Centre operation to crack down on Rohingya individuals who set themselves up in Thailand and for years had been bringing Burmese Rohingyas into the country. Kasem allegedly asked Bt22,000 for an immigrant worker ID card, saying it was the cost of motivating district officials to issue it.

Narat said the investigation found 7,089 cases of such unlawful immigrant worker ID cards being issued since 2007 in Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Thab Sakae, Bang Saphan, and Bang Saphan Noi districts.

Ethnic groups ordered to distinguish weapons after bombing

Tue 30 Jun 2009, Kon Hadae,IMNA
Following a bomb blast in Three Pagodas Pass (TPP) township, Burmese government authorities ordered the armed members of three ethnic groups to color their rifle butts in order to distinguish each group.

The explosion occurred on June 28th in TPP town at 8:20 and 8:33 PM, when two bombs exploded, one at the entrance to Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) No. 32 base, and the other detonated inside the special branch police office compound.

New Mon State Party (NMSP) soldiers were ordered to paint their rifle butts in red, while the Karen Peace Front (KPF) members had to paint theirs in blue, and the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army DKBA were made to color their rifle butts yellow, according to Karen Peace Force officer. Also SPDC authorities have placed a curfew on residents, restringing their travel to no later then 6 PM, through the areas where the 2 bombs detonated.

The order to apply the distinguishing colors came yesterday from State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) authorities during a meeting arranged by LIB No. 32, with armed group leaders and quarter headmen at the battalion headquarters.

“They [SPDC] said, that currently security is not so good here [at TPP], and that if they see color on ethnics guns, they [SPDC] would be easily able to recognize which group the soldier came from. It is a way to know an enemy from a friend”, an NMSP member who attended the meeting told IMNA.

U Win Tin,“Therefore, I do not expect Daw Aung San Suu Kyi would be released during or after Ban Ki-moon’s trip,” he said. “But it’s because the junta has failed to response to the international calls.”

No Hope for Suu Kyi from Ban’s Trip: NLD Leader

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is scheduled to visit Burma on Friday and Saturday, and there’s little hope for the release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from the trip, said a prominent Burmese opposition leader.

Ban plans to focus on three issues: the release of Suu Kyi and other political prisoners; the resumption of dialogue between the junta and opposition as a necessary part of national reconciliation process; and to create a condition conducive to credible elections in 2010, according to a UN press briefing on Monday.

Commenting on the trip, Win Tin, a prominent leader of the main opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) said that the international community has achieved little in the way of real progress toward national reconciliation.

“Therefore, I do not expect Daw Aung San Suu Kyi would be released during or after Ban Ki-moon’s trip,” he said. “But it’s because the junta has failed to response to the international calls.”

Win Tin, who spent 19 years as a political prisoner, told The Irrawaddy on Tuesday that he welcomed Ban’s trip.

“I agree with Mr Ban Ki-moon’s agenda: release of political prisoners and dialogue for national reconciliation. But I want to point out that Burma’s problem now is about its constitution rather than the election,” Win Tin said.

“So we need to review this unjust constitution first and then talk about the election. That will be more reasonable for the country’s democracy process,” he said.
