#EU ‘#deeply #regrets’ #use of #force #against #Myanmar #protesters
(BRUSSELS) – The EU criticised Myanmar on Tuesday after baton-wielding police dispersed a student rally and arrested dozens of protesters in a crackdown which has raised fears of a return to junta-era repression.
The 28-nation bloc also defended its 2013 decision to launch a 10-million-euro programme to train Myanmar police in dealing with demonstrations, saying it was part of efforts to support reform.
“The European Union is following with concern recent clashes in relation to ongoing protests and deeply regrets the use of force against peaceful demonstrators,” a spokeswoman said in an email to AFP.
Myanmar police carted away two truckloads of protesters after violently breaking up the rally in the central town of Letpadan, according to an AFP reporter at the scene, and police said 127 were arrested.
The crackdown comes just days after authorities used violence to end a rally in support of the students in the commercial hub of Yangon, prompting condemnation from rights campaigners.
The EU said the clashes showed the need for further reform by Myanmar’s military-dominated government but insisted that it was right to launch the training programme for riot police.
“Since the beginning of the EU project, progress has been made,” the spokeswoman said.
“When it comes to EU-trained police units, a difference in approach has been acknowledged, including by human rights organisations.
“Change, however, does not happen overnight, it requires a shift in the mindset and recent events confirm the necessity of more and continued reform.”
The EU “remains committed to supporting positive change in Myanmar in general — and the important process of reforming the police in particular”, the spokeswoman added.

#Myanmar #Press #Council #statement #condemning #BURMA #Police #Force’
The police is violently cracking down the protesting students, monks and people; making unlawful arrest of journalists.State media: 127 are arrested in Letpadan.
Yangon-Myanmar Press Council (Interim) issued a statement condemning Myanmar Police Force’s hostile action of beating and arresting the journalists covering news as to the main students’ column of democracy education, disrespecting for local and international laws. The full text of the statement issued by the MPC (Interim) is as follows: (1) The MPC expresses much concern over the riot police’s beating and arresting the journalists covering news to make it known to the public, keeping a close watch on the situations of the student protesters arriving in Letpadan, Bago Region. (2) The journalists are reporting on actual situations without supporting or objecting to the protest of the students. Moreover, they are not participating in the demonstration of the students. Laws, rules and regulations are prescribed for the reporters regarding the riots and protests in the world. The MPC (Interim) has an opinion about the riot police’s crackdown and arrest of the journalists, disrespect for local and international laws, going against the rights of the reporters stipulated in the Media Law approved by the Union parliament and the fundamental rights of the citizens in the Constitution. (3) Now is the second time the journalists have been arrested in Letpadan. The MPC (Interim) strongly objected to the improper action of the riot police. Moreover, the MPC (Interim) demands an immediate release of the arrested journalists.

Hundreds of undocumented Myanmar migrant workers in nine townships of Tak province and Mae Sot are fleeing to Myawaddy of Myanmar after the Thai police launched a crackdown early this month. “Many workers are being arrested by the Thai police. I fled from the factory to Myawaddy when the police raided other factories. Our factory owner helped as flee,” said a worker. “The crackdown on Myanmar workers started on 1 Feb. So far, the Thai police have detained about 600 Myanmar migrant workers,” said Moe Gyo, general-secretary of Myanmar Migrant Worker Rights Network and chair of the Joint Action Committee for Burmese Affairs. Over 100 undocumented Myanmar migrant workers and three factory owners from Mae Sot were arrested. The police also arrested over 600 migrant workers and 15 factory owners on the first week of February, he added.ELEVEN MEDIA
#Crackdown to be #launched #against #illegal #migrant #workers on #Koh #Tao
The military and the police will launch a crackdown on illegal foreign migrant workers on Koh Tao after it was discovered that business operators on the island deliberately refused to give the accurate information about the number of foreign migrant workers they have employed.
The imminent crackdown follows the arrest of two Myanmar migrant workers suspected of involvement in the murder of two British backpackers on Koh Tao in mid-September.
Maj-Gen Thinachat Chinda-ngern, commander of Surat Thani provincial military command, said today that the military had conducted an investigation about the number of foreign migrant workers on Koh Tao and found out that there were about 7,000 of them but business operators reported only about 4,000.
“What about the other 3,000 and where have they gone?” he asked.
The officer also blamed business operators of being incooperative with the authorities about disclosing the real figure of foreign migrant workers they have hired. For that matter, he said that legal actions would be taken against the business operators for allegedly providing shelter to illegal workers in case they did not tell the truths about the illegal workers.
As for the illegal foreign migrant workers mostly Burmese, the officer said that a crackdown would be launched against them. thai pbs
#MYANMAR #BURMA #Crackdown on #Illegal #Agents at #Thai #border
Published on Tuesday, 22 July 2014 17 ELEVEN MEDIA
Police in the border town of Maw Taung, Tanintharyi Region, have begun arresting “agents” who help migrant workers cross into Thailand illegally.
Fifteen people have been arrested since the beginning of the month at the border trade post opposite the town of Singkhon in Thailand’s Prachuap Khiri Khan province, police said.
“We have been arresting those who attempt to enter Thailand illegally or send people there illegally since the beginning of July,” said Nay Myo Lat, an inspector at Maw Taung Police Station. He said those arrested had been working with Maw Taung residents to help migrants cross the border illegally.
He did not say how many of those arrested were “agents” or how many were attempting to enter Thailand illegally for work. However, 12 of those arrested hail from Rakhine State where chronic unemployment has sparked an exodus of young men and women in search of work. Two residents of Dawei were also arrested and one Yangon resident was arrested, Nay Myo Lat said.
The border trade post opened on May 8, 2013. According to a statement from the Thai government, there are plans to eventually turn it into an international border crossing. Currently, Myanmar issues temporary passes to those who cross the border, but Thai officials do not recognise their validity and require their holders to return to Myanmar by sunset, police said.
Nay Myo said the 15 suspects arrested face charges under Section 26 of the Law Relating to Overseas Employment. Under this section any unlicenced “agent” found guilty of facilitating overseas employment faces up to seven years in prison and a fine.
Nay Myo Lat also said that some Myanmar workers are crossing the border to work in Prachuap Khiri Khan during the day and returning to Myanmar at night. They live near the border trade post. The illegal migrants hail from other areas of the country and police are now keeping an eye on the border crossing to prevent them from entering Thailand illegally, he said.
Migrant workers from Myanmar are facing tighter restrictions at border crossings following a crackdown in Thailand on undocumented foreign workers by the country’s military, which seized power from a democratically elected government in May. The junta is attempting to register all migrant workers in the country, but migrant worker advocates say the process is not going smoothly. More than 150,000 Cambodians fled Thailand in June following reports of extortion and abuse by Thai police and troops.
