 9 July 2012–Khuk Khak, Phang Nga, Thailand– On 7 July 2012, thirteen Burmese/Myanmar migrant workers came to the offices of the Foundation for Education and Development (FED) and asked for FED’s help, alleging that they are being exploited by the Phuket Built Co. Ltd., a construction company based in Phuket City, in contravention of their labor agreement.
The workers claim that 115 Burmese migrant workers who came to Thailand with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) have been exploited by the Thai construction company. The MOU was signed by the Thai and Burmese governments, standard procedure for migrants who work in Thailand. The workers requested that FED initiate a legal process to seek redress for the workers.While in Burma, they contacted a local employment agency, the Tun Yadanar Tun Service Co. Ltd., in Rangoon, and they paid 350,000 kyat (approximately 12,000 baht) each for services. The agency arranged for them to fly to Kaw Taung, a Burmese town bordering Ranong, Thailand. They stayed in Kaw Taung for almost two months in order to obtain temporary passports. Finally, a local agent there, Hein Thu Thet, contacted a Thai labor agency, and the migrants came to Phuket in early January 2012.

10 July 2012: The Zomi National Congress (ZNC), a political party asked in May to change its name by Burma’s Union Election Commission, has been granted permission to register as ‘Zomi Congress for Democracy’.
The Union Election Commission gave the green light to the new name to be established as a political party on 5 July, saying it was in conformity with the rules and regulations, according to the New Light of Myanmar.
In a letter sent last Thursday to the new party, UEC said the Zomi Congress for Democracy was permitted to form a political party but it has got to make further submission of at least names of two leaders and registration application to UEC within 30 days.
Despite officially contesting and winning two seats from Tedim and Tonzang constituencies from Chin State during the 1990 Elections, ZNC was denied its recent application to register as a political party on the ground that the term ‘Zomi’ is not included in the 130-plus ‘national races’ identified by the government.
A 15-member ZCD would stand as a new political party upon completion of its registration process after dropping the term ‘national’ from its previous party’s name, ZNC, which boycotted alongside the National League for Democracy (NLD) the 2010 general elections in Burma.
Founded in 1988, ZNC was committed to restoring and establishing democratic government and federal union of Burma, with its leader Pu Chin Sian Thang, an elected MP during the 1990 elections.

BDC Burma@ We would like to call for all the ORGANISATIONS calling for BURMA to change 1982 Citizenship law to also call for their respective governments to CHANGE their respective citizenship laws. Please see the case study of UK immigration law. UK Immigration department (UKBA) says you cannot be a BRITISH citizen EVEN if you were born in the UK to parents who are not British citizens and are not legally settled in UK. Even if you were born in the United Kingdom, you will not be a British citizen if neither of your parents was a British citizen or legally settled here at the time of your birth. This means you are not a British citizen if, at the time of your birth, your parents were in the country temporarily, had stayed on without permission, or had entered the country ILLEGALLY and had not been given permission to stay here indefinitely. Before you all say something to other nation’s affair, look at your own nations’ immigration laws.
Why don’t we do the group called BRINGING ALL ROHINGYA STATELESS PEOPLE FROM BURMA TO UK which will lobby UK Government to change UK citizenship law, respect human rights and grant UK citizenship.

Yesterday morning, 48 Bangladeshis, together with 2 human traffickers were arrested by Bangladesh Special Counter-Drugs Forces while they were trying to immigrate illegally to Malaysia.
The special forces said that those Bangladeshis were arrested in 4 hotels at Kadamtali area while human traffickers were arranging to send them to Malaysia via motor boats.
Major Rakibul Ami said, “As we received news, our No. 7 Rapid Action Battalion Division raided the four hotels and caught those Bangladeshis.”
Among the arrested Bangladeshis are fabric weavers, farmers, shopkeepers and unemployed people from Siraganj, Naogaon, Pabna, Magura, Jhinaidah cities in Bangladesh according to authorities.
There were around 100 Bangladeshis hiding in the hotels and most of them escaped during the raid.
According to BBC (Bangladesh) programme, around 100 Bangladeshis were arrested and their plan was to enter into Yangon, Myanmar first before moving onto Malaysia.
A human trafficker called Suru Zaman said these practices of human trafficking to Malaysia using motor boats and fishing boats have been ongoing since 1996.
Many Bangladesh immigrants escaped through boats; when they reached Thailand or Malaysia, they immediately get asylum by saying that they were Rohingyas and they had ran away from violation of human rights by Myanmar government. UNHCR refugees organization also gave out refugees acknowledgement cards if those Bangladeshis said in that way.
Those arrested are Bangladeshis who would continue to travel after bestowing themselves as Rohingya.
Recently Myanmar also has caught many Bangladeshis around Gwa island, Gwa township while they were trying illegally immigrate into Malaysia through motor boats.
Similarly, around 82 Bangladeshis were arrested at Yay township in Mon state Myanmar while they were trying to immigrate to Malaysia and sentenced to 1 year in prison.
When this news was broadcast by various media, VOA(Burmese) Programme depicted it as Myanmar government sentencing 90 Bangladeshis according to Immigration Act while Mizzima stated that 82 Bangladeshis were sentenced to Prison.
Likewise, Kaung Wa news center also reported that 82 Bangladeshis were arrested for illegal immigration.
However, an exile media called Irrawaddy reported the very same news as “Rohingya Boat people Sentenced on Immigration Charges” and stated that those sentenced to prison were Rohingya. During that very news, project director from Arakan Project, Chris Lewa stated that it is unacceptable to have their own people sentenced on their own land.
