It is common knowledge as to how they threat inmates in most prisons, even in so called civilized countries not just Burma!!!

It is without doubt an established fact, the question here is Can it be over come and what actions will be taken to stop this abuse of human rights.

Or is it just more talk and hot airs and no actions.... Read More

Of course if a person has actually been proven to have committed a serious crime then he or she deserves the treatment, after all human rights should be a two way street.

Just to share:- ‘In The Quiet Land’ by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
In the Quiet Land, no one can tell
if there’s someone who’s listening
for secrets they can sell.
... Read More
The informers are paid in the blood of the land
and no one dares speak what the tyrants won’t stand.

In the quiet land of Burma,
no one laughs and no one thinks out loud.
In the quiet land of Burma,
you can hear it in the silence of the crowd

In the Quiet Land, no one can say
when the soldiers are coming
to carry them away.
The Chinese want a road; the French want the oil;
the Thais take the timber; and SLORC takes the spoils…

In the Quiet Land….
In the Quiet Land, no one can hear
what is silenced by murder
and covered up with fear.
But, despite what is forced, freedom’s a sound
that liars can’t fake and no shouting can drown.

Welcoming statements does not actually help any one in or out of Burma, if the EU or Western nations wish to sincerely help the unfortunate people of Burma or Myanmar as it is called now, it has to be more concreat than mare statements, the country does not need hot airs from the outside, they have enough of it in Burma, its about time they(Wester countries) come up with something Constructive.
