The Thai Foreign Ministry will report the seizure of arms destined to North Korea to the United Nations in 45 days, a deputy spokesman of the ministry said Sunday.

The weapons were impounded from a plane heading to North Korea on Saturday after it stopped for a petrol refilling.

Thani Thongphakdee, a deputy spokesman of the Foreign Ministry, said the Thai government was required to file a report to the UN in line with a resolution which prohibits shipment of arms to North Korea.

U.S. senator James Webb and the international counsel have expressed concern over the health of detained Burmese-born American Nyi Nyi Aung

New Delhi (Mizzima) – U.S. senator James Webb and the international counsel have expressed concern over the health of detained Burmese-born American Nyi Nyi Aung, who has been on hunger strike for a week inside Rangoon’s notorious Insein prison.

The Senator from Virginia, whose visit to Burma in August opened a new front in the Washington-Naypyitaw relationship, in a statement on Friday expressed his concern over reports that Nyi Nyi Aung, alias Aung Kyaw Zaw, is being mistreated in detention and urged the Burmese government to guarantee his rights under international law.

“I remain concerned by reports that American citizen Kyaw Zaw Lwin may have been mistreated during his detainment in Burma, and that he is being denied regular access to U.S. consular visits,” Webb said.

“In the interim, I urge the government in Burma to afford Kyaw Zaw Lwin all the rights guaranteed under international law,” he added.

He said he had contacted the U.S. Department of State and asked to be kept updated on the status of Kyaw Zaw Lwin. He also said he hopes the Burmese government will allow Nyi Nyi Aung the same access to U.S. Embassy personnel as American citizen John Yettaw, who he personally escorted out of the country in August.

Meanwhile, Beth Schwanke, the international counsel for Nyi Nyi Aung, in a telephone interview with Mizzima on Saturday said she is concerned for her client’s health as he has been on hunger strike, protesting the ill treatment of prisoners.
