Deputy Interior Minister Wisarn Techathirawat says the presence of the media encourages Rohingya refugees to “act-up in front of the camera” in order to get sympathy.

Mr Wisarn was at the Phang Nga Immigration center yesterday to inspect the facility, following a Rohingya riot there earlier this month.

“The media often knows that the Rohingya are arriving even before the police do,” he said.

“And when the media are present, the Rohingya cry and put on a performance designed to get sympathy. When the media are not present, they act normally, and even seem to enjoy their interaction with the officers,” he said.

The “feigned pitifulness” of the Rohingya reported by the press is giving Thailand a bad name, Mr Wisarn said.

Security has been tightened around the town and surrounding villages as well as nearby islands in Myanmar’s southern coastal region. Police say they received a report last week saying three terrorists with explosive materials would enter Myeik crossing by sea from Thailand.

“Three terrorists have not been seized. There is various news, but security measures are being taken systematically. All the villages and wards, as well as nearby islands and the ports, are closely monitored by the officials,” said an on-duty police officer at Kywal Ku Bridge.

Local authorities have been closely monitoring the entries of strangers into Myeik Township. They carried out inspections in and around the town, and are tightening security.

“We have beefed up the security. Since August 17, we are checking every individual both day and night. We also check all the vehicles. At night, we patrol by boat along the river, and check the jetties. If necessary, more security forces will be deployed. We will have to continue our security measures for several days ahead,” he added.

The suspects have been identified by local authorities to be holding Thai citizenship. Two of them are said to be originially Myanmar natives who moved to Thailand in their young age, and one is reported to be living now in Indonesia. All of them speak Myanmar language fluently, according to the authorities.

RCSS new booklet report, “Journey of RCSS Anti-Narcotic Activities” (2013)

RCSS Anti Narcotic Division publishes a new report called “Journey of RCSS Anti-Narcotic Activities” in three languages – Shan, Burmese and English. A press conference about it is to be held soon with additional information on narcotic drugs, however, the date and location has not yet been confirmed.

The report states about RCSS Anti-Narcotic Activities both before and during the ceasefire. RCSS has been adopting the anti-drug policy since its founding as its military wing “Shan State Army” had initiatively been combating on narcotic drugs and destroying several drug refineries along the Thai-Shan border.

And during the ceasefire, it continues to adopt anti-drug policy and pledges to cooperate with the government and all the stakeholders both inside and outside Shan State. As a token of its “Good Relationship and Cooperating Information in Anti-Narcotic”, both before and during the ceasefire, RCSS received a “Golden Eagle Award” conferred by Privy Counselor, General Pijit Kullevanich of Thailand on 23 June 2012.

Therefore, this is a collection of some of the activities taken by RCSS in the form of a booklet to be shared with the public and raise awareness on narcotic drugs. Narcotic drug is dangerous to all in the world and RCSS believes that total eradication of narcotic drugs can be achieved only through cooperation from all the stakeholders concerned.

Thus it urges sincere and full cooperation from all in working together to address the urgent need for total drug eradication through drug eradication plan and crop substitution projects while at the same time political negotiation to find the right solution is also in the process.

I think the main problem here is people believe UN Special Rapporteur Mr Tomas Ojea Quintana is bias regarding Rakhine conflicts and they believe that there are conspiracies between UN Special Rapporteur Mr Tomas Ojea Quintana and so called Rohingyas.One can see clearly that people have no problem when Mr Vijay Nambiar when he came to the country. Obviously, Mr Tomas Ojea Quintana doesn’t fit in to sort out the issues in Burma. We believe that UN should appoint someone instead of him. UN should listen to the voices of the people on the ground. There are reasons why the people react to him like this. The bottom line is no one can push pressure to the people, else it will make the matter more worse–

Myanmar’s government on Thursday disputed accusations that it failed to protect a top U.N. human rights envoy who said his vehicle was attacked by a 200-strong Buddhist mob during a visit to a city where religious violence flared earlier this year.

President Thein Sein’s spokesman, Ye Htut, said U.N. rights rapporteur Tomas Ojea Quintana was never in any danger during his visit this week.

He said members of the crowd approached Quintana’s convoy in the central city of Meikhtila only to give him a letter and a T-shirt, “so what Quintana said is very different from the true situation.”

—  “We protested on the bridge in the center of the town,” said Htein Min Khaing of the 88 Generation Students group. “After he met with local authorities we tried to pass an open letter to him, but he refused it. So, we blocked his path. Finally he accepted the letter.”–

At a press conference before his departure from Yangon International Airport on Wednesday, U.N rights rapporteur Tomas Ojea Quintana raised an incident in Meikhtila when crowds descended on his car at about 10pm on Monday punching and kicking the windows as the police stood back.

“The fear that I felt during this incident, being left totally unprotected by the nearby police, gave me an insight into the fear residents would have felt when being chased down by violent mobs during the violence last March as police allegedly stood by as angry mobs beat, stabbed and burned to death some 43 people,” said Quintana.

Presidential spokesperson Ye Htut told the Associated Press that Quintana was never in danger. He said members of the crowd approached the convoy only to give him a letter and a T-shirt, “so what Quintana said is different from the true situation,” AP reported.

AP quoted Ye Htut as saying that one police car was escorting the U.N rights envoy and 30 other officers were controlling the crowd. Police gave protection to him and people had no intention to hurt him. As the police successfully cleared a path and the convoy passed without incident, the spokesman said.

A reporter of the Eleven Media Group (EMG) who was at the scene together with a reporter from state-run newspaper said Quintana’s allegations were totally wrong.

“Since 5pm, about 1,000 people had been waiting to protest against Quintana. When he arrived, there were only about 200 as the others left because of the night-time curfew. The convoy passed just for seconds. Holding placards, they only tried to give him a letter of protest and a T-shirt. The people did not act as he had claimed, said Meikhtila reporter of EMG Wunna Soe.

The reporter covered daily news about Meikhtila violence when it broke out in March. He played an important role in EMG’s efforts to cover news with the aim of stopping mass killings. In the latest incident when Quintana arrived, Wunna Soe had been at the scene since 5pm to cover the news.
He said the U.N envoy would not face the protest if he chose the other way to enter the town.

One local witness Daw May Thet Oo said:

“There were about 150 protestors when Quintana arrived at the top of Meikhtila bridge. They thought he was in the first car of the convoy. The protestors stepped forward to make sure Quintana saw their placards. But traffic police and locals cleared the path. It did not even take three minutes to pass through. The crowd only wanted him to see their protest banners and hear their voice of protest. They did no harm to him. The convoy stopped for a minute and continued to go. Later, three locals went to the government’s guesthouse to give him an open letter. The letter was left to the district commissioner as he promised to give it to Quintana.”

“The protest letter carried points showing objection to Quintana’s reports to the United Nations. The Miekhtila violence broke out after Islamists killed a Buddhist monk. The situation worsened as the Muslims from Mingalar Zeyon Quarter were shouting with abusive words all the night,” added the local witness.

Another local Ko Dimaw Soe said: “The protestors only wanted him to show the banners of protest and their voices. They did not harm him. The convoy stopped only for a minute. Nothing happened seriously.”

“Ko Mae Pa, Ko Dimaw Soe and Daw May Thet Oo went to the guesthouse to give an open letter. We wanted him to know the feelings of the entire people of the town but we had no intention of endangering his life. We held no weapons except placards,” said Ko Htain Win Mon from Meikhtila.

Myanmar’s government and local witnesses have denied a U.N human rights envoy’ claims that his car was attacked by a mob of 200 in Meikhtila, Mandalay region, on Monday night.

“We tightened security at the entrance of Meikhtila Bridge in the afternoon before the UN envoy arrived. We sent another ten plain-cloth policemen to the entrance of the bridge since 6 pm. We had ten other policemen near the bridge. In the nearby area, ten policemen stood by in a car. The policemen were well-equipped with arms. Two traffic policemen were also commending the traffic at the entrance of PhaungdawU Bridge. Minister for Security and Border Affairs Colonel Aung Kyaw Moe, Head of District Police Colonel Set Nay Lin, Meikhtila District Commissioner Tin Maung Soe and his team were in the UN convoy. In the car of the head of district police were seven policemen. The convoy arrived at the entrance of Meikhtila Bridge at 10:35 pm. We arrived at the Yeiktha, over a half mile away from the bridge, within five minutes. We left the guesthouse at 10:55 pm. It did not take ten minutes to stay out of the cars. They were sitting in their car most of the time. We had no danger throughout the period,” a security officer from Meikhtila said.

“What I saw was the crowds came forward to the road and protested when the first car arrived. Quintana was not in that car. Immediately, traffic policemen and locals cleared the road. Although the crowds came forward wishing the UN envoy to see the placards, traffic policemen, policemen and locals cleared the road for the cars in the convoy. The protesters on motorbikes went after the convoy shouting “We don’t want Quintana, no Quintana”. There were an estimated twenty motorcycles and forty protesters. No danger caused. When the convoy went past the crowds, some banged the cars but they did not mean to do harm. They were intending to make sure Quintana’s convoy saw the placards and voices of protest. The crowds came forward vehemently, only intending to show their protest but they didn’t want to do any harm. And the convoy met the crowds as they passed through Kankaung side road to Meikhtila and Mandalay. If they went from Thigone side road, they didn’t need to go pass the bridge and they would not met the protesters. The crowds had arrived at the top of the bridge since 6:00 pm. The convoy arrived in Meikhtila after 10:00 pm. If they went via the other way, they could go directly to the guesthouse. Both ways have about the same distance,” said the EMG reporter.

At the press conference, Quintana who had arrived in Myanmar eighth times, seemed emotional when he explained about the Meikhtila incident, said a reporter present.  The reporter said he was concerned over international pressure, including from OIC and Islamist communities on his report to the UN General Assembly.

Quintana has demanded amending the 1982 Citizenship Law. However, the Myanmar citizens are losing trust in Quintana because Myanmar will face illegal influxes of Bangladeshies if the law is not in effect.
