Burmese Campaign Videos BDC-Burma Music Video: “SHOCK Shi-Tae”

Burma Democratic Concern ( BDC) pleased to inform you that Burmese song “SHOCK Shi-Tae” for the “Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar SHOCK Shi-Tae” campaign video has been released on facebook and on youtube.

Since you may be aware that Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is embarking on media campaign so as to encourage everyone’s participation working for democratisation of Burma.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is well aware that media plays the important role to restore democracy in Burma so that we are producing the video, “Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar SHOCK Shi-Tae”.

Our main intention is to share the video with the people inside Burma in order to inform them of why we should boycott junta’s planned sham elections, junta’s unilaterally adopted sham constitution and why we must collectively lobby international governments including UNSC to to declare military entrenching constitution as NULL & VOID, why we must work implementing 1990 election results as well as life of the political activists.

Please enjoy the following music video and ads. I am also pleased to inform you that the full length video with ENGLISH and CHINESE subtitles approximately 90 minutes will be out very soon.

Construction of railway linking China, Laos to begin late Oct.

KUNMING, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) — The building of a railway between southwest China’s Yunnan Province and Laos will kick off on Oct. 28, according to its Chinese contractor.

The 530-km railway, expected to be completed in 2015, will link Mohan port in Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna and Vientiane, the capital of Laos, said Li Zhanqun, board chairman of the Yunnan Xiaoxiang Pan-Asia Investment Co., Ltd.

“We would like to use more workers from Laos to help boost the employment market along the railway,” Li said.

The railway is part of the Trans-Asian railway network, which will cover 114,000 km and travel through 28 countries throughout the region.

In 2009, China ratified an agreement on the Trans-Asian Railway Network, which was initiated by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).

The agreement came into effect in June 2009. (Xinhua)

Arakan:Prison Authority Sells Bed Space in Thandwe Prison

Thandwe: Poor inmates in Thandwe prison in southern Arakan State have lost their beds as the prison authority is selling the space to prisoners at high prices, said a 60-year-old woman whose husband is in the prison.

She said, “I went to the prison last week to meet with my husband. He told me that his place in the prison was moved to near the toilet because he could not pay the prison authority for his bed.”

The woman reported her husband said the prison authority is selling the more desirable sleeping spots to prisoners for 40,000 to 80,000 kyats per year.

“As many poor prisoners are unable to buy their bed space for sleeping, they have been forced to move to dirty and undesirable locations inside the prison. My husband told me to send the information about Thandwe prison to exile media in order to spread the news to the high authority and international organizations. Because of this, I have informed you,” the woman said.

Speaking to Narinjara over the phone, a politician in Thandwe said, “The situation in Thandwe prison is very bad. Many prisoners who are not rich are facing many problems inside, and all rights of the prisoners have been deprived.”

He also said that prisoners in Thandwe have been receiving food from their families because the food provided by the government is insufficient.

The woman also said that the prison authority is breeding pigs inside the prison compound for their own profit, and many prisoners have been forced to work caring for the animals.

Thandwe prison has an official capacity of 500 inmates, but is currently holding around 800 inmates.

Breaking News:Date set for lawsuit over dissolution of NLD

(Mizzima) – Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawsuit against the Burmese junta concerning the dissolution of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party is set to take place on October 18, according to party spokesperson Nyan Win.

Legal counsel Kyi Win is slated to be the single lawyer authorized to represent the NLD on the first day of the hearing.

The NLD is requesting authorities to permit party representatives to meet with the detained Aung San Suu Kyi early next week in order to discuss preparations regarding the case.

Despite expectations of unfair judgment given the junta-influenced legal system, the current appeal is only being heard upon acceptance of the NLD’s challenge regarding the party’s September 14 dissolution for failure to partake in the November polling.

Previous objections on the part of the NLD centered on the junta’s Political Parties Registration Law, which, it alleges, serves as the backbone for the controversial 2008 constitution.

ABMA:U Pyinya Zawta speak at the Engaged Buddhism Conference on October 18 in Toronto.
