NLD member stabbed in fight at restaurant in Rangoon

Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – A member of the National League for Democracy (NLD) was injured in a fight on Saturday involving  a group of men that included a military officer in a restaurant in Mingala Taungnyunt Township in Rangoon.

NLD central information committee member Soe Myat Thu, 28,  of Tamwe Township and two of his friends were reportedly sitting at a table in the Asia Light Restaurant at around 8 p.m. on Saturday when a ruckus broke out at a nearby table.

Kyi Toe, a member of the NLD central information committee, told Mizzima, ‘A captain stood up and challenged anyone in the restaurant to fight. Then chaos broke out’.

He said the NLD member was stabbed accidently as a man with a knife tried to stab another man and leave the restaurant.

A suspect has been detained in the Mingala Taungnyunt Police Station. When Mizzima contacted the police station an official refused to provide any details about the incident.

The victim, Soe Myat Thu, brought the case to the police station and was later treated at Rangoon Hospital. He was stabbed in the chest with a sharp-pointed object, and he suffered internal bleeding, Kyi Toe told Mizzima.

The suspect in the stabbing was with a group that included a captain attached to Infantry Unit No. 435 in South Okkala and a retired military officer, according to Kyi Toe.

Targeted Economic Sanctions Press Release-Video-Young women from Burma support targeted economic sanctions

For Immediate Release

Young women from Burma support targeted economic sanctions on Burma

Bangkok – May 25, 2011

Alternative Asean Network’s on Burma (Altsean-Burma) interns from Burma have launched a humour campaign in support of targeted economic sanctions on Burma. Burma is a rich country with natural resources such as oil, gas and teak where investment drives human rights abuses. The humour campaign consists of a series of jokes in Burmese, which will be broadcast on the radio and through YouTube. The campaign also includes cartoons, which describe and depict the human rights violations in Burma. Both jokes and cartoons show that the real cause of these violations is the Burmese government and its misguided policies and that the abuses are worsened by foreign investment. The campaign is intended for Burmese civilians in Burma and abroad, Burmese pro- democracy activists, non- governmental organizations in and outside of Burma and the wider international community.

BEEING HONEST about USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS-engl

Kachin Report 2009

Unique mortars laced with chemical ingredients are being supplied by the junta to its military battalions in Kachin State and Shan State, said sources close to the army.

Burmese troops have been instructed by the army that the unique shells, marked with red, yellow and green colours, are to be used in war on the orders of the Burmese Army, said Burmese soldiers in Northeast Shan State.

The places where these mortar shells explode, people will show three symptoms like feeling faint, have breathing difficulties and lose their eyesight, the sources said.

Army sources said the mortars were received from North Korea but the Burmese Army also has mortars made in China, Russia and India.

Two military trucks  carrying these mortars  have been despatched to the Burmese Army’s  No. 1 Nyaung Pin military base on the mountain top near Mongkoe in Northeast Shan State, early this month, said insiders.

During the clash between Burmese troops and Kokang rebels also called the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) from August 27 to 29, in rebel territory in Northeast Shan State, the Burmese Army fired the mortar once, said sources close to the MNDAA.

After a single mortar was fired, rebels and civilians in the area had bleeding noses and ears, said rebel sources.

During the war between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the Burmese Army in Nam Yun-Pang Sau in Hukawng Valley in western Kachin State in 1992, Burmese warplanes dropped bombs laced with chemicals on the KIA.

The effect of the bombing left some KIA soldiers finding it difficult to walk and many had problems of physical locomotion, said KIA soldiers who took part in the war.

Sources said the Burmese Army is planning to use more heavy mortars, tanks and warplanes rather than a large number of soldiers in the event of war with ethnic ceasefire groups— KIA, United Wa State Army (UWSA) and Mongla-based National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA), which is expected soon.

At the moment, China is preparing three new refugee camps for Burmese near the Burma border in its Yunnan province. It is urging its citizens in east of Burma to return home, according to the Chinese media and border sources.

The Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), the self-proclaimed Kachin independent government issued the first National Registration Card (NRC) to people in its controlled territories, in northern Burma.

The KIO’s NRC has been issued since early May in the organizational capital, Laiza, and Maijayang, in eastern Kachin State, where there are about 50,000 residents in the two towns, excluding foreigers. Voting was banned in the areas during the November 7, 2010, election by the Burmese central government, according to a KIO officer.

Voting was cancelled in 68 village-tracks and villages in 9 townships in Kachin State, which were under control of the KIO, by the military-controlled Union Election Commission (UEC).

“This National Registration Card (NRC) is for the people who could not participate in the election. It is an electronic card designed by computer.  All data about the holder is recorded on the card, including income and DNA. The holders can open bank accounts when the KIO-run bank is opened,” said a KIO officer.

Update No.75: June 2nd 2011 – 10:40 am One villager injured by mortar, one villager beaten in Th’Waw Thaw village

n May 22nd 2011 a KHRG researcher reported that one villager was injured by a mortar, and one villager was beaten by the Tatmadaw during a clash between Tatmadaw LIB #310 and another group on May 20th in Th’Waw Thaw village, Kawkareik Township. KHRG’s researcher could not confirm which armed group was involved in the clash with the Tatmadaw, but local sources speculated that it was a force of DKBA soldiers.

According to KHRG’s researcher, at approximately 2 pm on May 20th, a group of soldiers from LIB #310, including the Battalion Commander, were returning to Th’Waw Thaw village from a meeting with members of the Royal Thai Army (RTA) in Thailand. The clash began outside Th’Waw Thaw, as the Tatmadaw soldiers approached the village. According to local sources that spoke with KHRG’s researcher, the fighting lasted for ten minutes, during which time the LIB #310 Battalion Commander was killed; two other Tatmadaw soldiers later died from wounds sustained during the clash.

At least one mortar round landed inside Th’Waw Thaw village during the skirmish; 28-year-old Saw Je— was hit in his back by a mortar fragment, although local sources said his injury was not severe. KHRG’s researcher said that he thought the mortar had been fired by Tatmadaw soldiers because LIB #310 was approaching Th’Waw Thaw when the fighting occurred, although local sources could not confirm which group had fired the mortar. Local sources further reported that when the LIB #310 troops entered Th’Waw Thaw following the clash, soldiers punched and kicked 43-year-old Saw Bo—, who was attempting to help the injured Saw Je—. The sources told KHRG’s researcher that Saw Bo— was kicked twice in the side and punched twice on the chin, but did not specify how many soldiers were involved in the incident.

According to KHRG’s researcher, after the clash on May 20th Tatmadaw officers in Th’Waw Thaw requested that leaders of Thai Karen villages adjacent to Th’Waw Thaw come to meet with them in Burma. As of May 22nd, however, the village heads were unwilling to meet with the Tatmadaw, citing fears that they would be accused of communicating the armed group that clashed with LIB #310 as the soldiers returned from the meeting in Thailand.
