FROM 30.JANUARY 2013       https://democracyforburma.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/burma-myanmar-police-used-phosphorus-on-ladpadaung-protesters-lawyers-say/

Scores of people, many of them monks, were injured and burned when authorities moved in to violently end months of demonstrations in November.

Burmese lawyers and the US-based Justice Trust compiled the report.

It was based on eyewitness testimony, photos and forensic analysis of a used grenade cartridge.

The mine at Monywa is jointly owned by a Chinese company and the Burmese military. Local villagers had embarked on months of sit-in protests, claiming they had been unfairly forced to give up their land.

No one from the Burmese government was available to comment immediately on the report.

ATTENTION! Burmese Arakan ေနရပ္- Global

People of Burma had determined that it is time for Tomas Quintana to vacate his post as United Nations Human Rights Envoy to Burma. Collusion between Tomas Quintana and the so-called Rohingya Bengali was all too apparent by Burmese extinguishing impartiality and credibility of the envoy. We have been expressing our doubts over his impartiality and now the image is much clearer that he is merely a special advocate for the so-called Rohingya Bengali. Tomas Quintana has completely ignored the democratic voice of the people of Burma especially Arakanese Buddhist. Clearly Tomas Quintana has chosen to court the so-called Rohingya Bengali at the expense of vast majority of the population of a nation.

NLD to help hold second ‘Panglong conference’

National League for Democracy (NLD), the main opposition party in Myanmar, will help sponsor a second ‘pinlon conference’ aimed at bringing unity among national races, Tin Oo, the party’s patron, said on February 12.

Pinlon conference, also known as Panglong Conference, convened national races and brought unity among them in Myanmar 66 years ago. People are now willing to hold it again to obtain national reconciliation, though no concrete plan or formal statement on it have come out from anybody yet.

NLD’s stance to help bring about the 21st century ‘pinlon conference’ had been declared by its chair Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to the party members, the patron addressed the attendees at the celebration of the 66th anniversary of Union Day in Yangon.

The occasion was not attended by Suu Kyi who is a parliamentarian herself, but it showed her message in a video at the event. Her party members, ethnic people, other political parties and delegates from various organizations attended the event.

Temporary passports to Myanmar migrant children in Thailand

13.FEBRUARY 2013 EMG

The government plans to issue temporary passports to undocumented children of Myanmar migrant workers living in Thailand, the deputy minister of labour told Eleven Media on Monday.

 

According to Myint Thein, the deputy minister of labour, over 200,000 children are living with their migrant parents in Thailand and half of them are attending community schools, which are taught in Myanmar language.

A total of 147 community schools have been opened in Thailand and the government is under negotiation with these schools for them to follow the curricula of state schools in Myanmar and get them donations from local well-wishers.

“The children only have birth registration. They don’t have any documents that show their citizenship. We have arranged to issue them these temporary passports as they will have difficulties coming back to the country (Myanmar),” said Myint Thein.

He said the two countries are still under negotiation about the temporary passports due to visa fees.

The Thai government wants to charge Baht 900 for the visa fees, but the Myanmar government has requested them to only charge Baht 500 as the children do not have any salaries. The Thai government said it will take at least six months to amend the by-law before fixing the visa fee at Bhat 500 for the children, according to the deputy minister.

Although the two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2003 to start a nationality verification system for the Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand, the system was not started until 2009.

Eleven one-stop service centres have been opened in Thailand for the registration of Myanmar migrant workers and temporary passports will be issued to them starting from February 15.
