11th anniversary of '96 uprising
11 years ago on this day, we started the fight against the injustice by taking to the streets.
11 years ago tomorrow (3rd December), the junta started the crackdown on us by beating and arresting.
11 years ago this month, streets were filled with demonstrating students and crushing troops.
11 years ago, we lost the battle to free Burma from dictatorship.
But the fight continues. Our burning desire to achieve freedom continues. So many of us has ran away. So many of us has spent time behind bars for years. So many of us are still fighting.....
We had failed. We might have failed. But we will fight till we die.
In memory of 96 uprising and in honour of who risk their lives for the cause of better Burma.

Burmese junta ordered journals to remove Mr Pinheiro news
A cover story of 7Day News dated November 22, which is about the press conference held by Mr Pinheiro at Rangoon airport, had to be covered by silver ink and replaced with another news.
However, the censor board failed to notice the other part of story appeared in page 5 which clearly stated "Continuation from cover."
The new cover story appeared in the journal again with exactly the same wordings.
Yangon Times dated November 21 was another victim of Mr Pinheiro news. It ran the news under politics section but also ordered to remove. The journal replaced it with an advertisement of it own.
In both cases, 7Day and Yangon Times, the original news are visible quite easily with enough lighting.
Surprisingly, the news about Mr Pinheiro visit to Innsein jail, Goverment Technology Institute (a notorious detention centre during September crackdown), and Ngwe Kyar Yan monastery as well as meetings with senior Burmese ministers was appeared undeterred in Weekly Eleven journal dated November 21. The news featured a photo of Mr Pinheiro visit to the Kya Khat Wine monastery, a closed junta ally.

The difference between Asean and Commonwealth
By Anne Penketh, Diplomatic Editor
Published: 23 November 2007
Pakistan was suspended from the Commonwealth last night, after General Pervez Musharraf failed to meet a deadline to lift emergency rule and resign as army chief.
The decision was taken by a committee of nine foreign ministers, meeting in Kampala on the eve of the Commonwealth summit, and followed hours of tough negotiations that began yesterday morning.
SOURCE : The Independent
Meanwhile ASEAN stubbornly refuses to suspend or kick off Burma for killing scores of people and continuing arrest and torture of democracy activists. The stark contrast between these two groupings clearly show ASEAN is indeed a group with absolutely no regard for the human rights of a member country.
Therefore, the inclusion of declaration "To strengthen democracy, enhance good governance and the rule of law, and to promote human rights. ASEAN shall establish a human rights body, with terms to be decided by foreign ministers." in the ASEAN charter could just meant not to protect and promote human rights in the region but to make the rest of the world, especially EU and US, think ASEAN is dedicated to promote human rights.

Burma spits on Asean. Asean slaps UN
His message came down to this, said a person who listened to Mr Thein Sein’s speech: “I look after my own house. You cannot come in and rearrange the furniture. The furniture may not be great but I do it the way I want it. Period.”
Source: The Straits Times (November 21 2007, Page 6, ASEAN SUMMIT)
To sum it up, after listening what Thein Sein had said, the Asean leaders agreed to cancel the UN envoy briefing, ultimately showing the world that Asean leaders have to genuine concern for the people of Burma. It also shows Asean doesn’t really care what the world governing body UN would have to say in the manner its envoy was treated. In fact, this incident highlighted Asean has only one thing in mind, to keep on benefitting from Burma’s abundance natural resources by nodding whatever the junta said. It is so surprising to learn that the leaders of the region follow the wishes of the junta especially after MM Lee publicly calling them “dumb generals.” Doesn’t it mean Asean leaders the followers of the dumb generals?
If one can think clearly, it is obvious the junta is not moving the furniture. They are killing the monks and civilians. They are still arresting and torturing people. They are doing that right in front of your eyes. Will you let to do them the way they want, killings and torturing? If you say yes, you are inhumane, heartless and selfish. This is not a time to have dinner with the killers of Burma and have “Family” dinner together. This is a time to show the world that you are caring and good neighbors Asean. There is still time. Fix it and the world will praise you. Let it go and you will go down in history as the selfish neighbors for Burma.

Thank you Vietnam!
Burma flag seen upside down at Hanoi presidential palace during the meeting of junta's PM Thein Sein and the president of Vietnam. The photo was used on the first page of The New Light of Myanmar published on 12 Nov 2007. PDF version is available on junta run MRTV3 site. Click HERE to access PDF version.
A mistake by the organizers? Hardly the case when they welcome another country's PM. Anyway, Thank you Vietnam!

Pro-government film shot in Prome
Nov 12, 2007 (DVB) Around 200 government supporters and township police officers have been involved in a video shoot in Prome in which they re-enact the suppression of the recent monk-led protests.
A number of people posing as monks have also been involved in the filming. Prior to the making of the video, those involved undertook one month of riot training in preparation. The source said that those present acted out the recent protests, but made it look as though the government's crackdown came as a result of violence from the monks.
"The film looks like it's about the monk protests, but it shows the township police trying to suppress the violence initiated by monks. Then they have to call in the military when they can't overpower the monks," the source said. "So the military arrive, and first they fire rubber bullets into the crowd and some people get hit, but they made it look as though they had not choice but to fire as the monks were really getting out of hand," he said.
The scenes showed police officers following the orders of their superiors to ease the situation as much as possible without resorting to violence.
The source speculated that the film could be used to present a distorted picture of what happened during the crackdown on protests; however, the true purpose of the film could not be confirmed.

News, which is not news.
I am stunned to see the way the international world media present this particular “news”. In fact, for Burmese, this statement by Daw Su issued by Mr Gambari is nothing new. The statement is now “news” for Burmese. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as well as NLD have always stressed that the genuine dialogue is the only way to solve the crisis in
In short, Mr Gambari mission to

U.S. tells Singapore to cut bank ties with Myanmar
BANGKOK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The United States told Singapore and its banks on Monday to sever financial links with Myanmar's junta, widely believed to use the city-state as its main off-shore banking centre."We believe that there are regime officials with accounts in Singapore," senior State Department official Kristen Silverberg told reporters in Thailand during a regional tour to drum up support for a tougher Asian stance against the former Burma. "We hope that they ensure that their financial institutions are not being used as sanctuary for Burmese officials," said Silverberg, who is responsible for U.S. liaison with groups such as the Association of South East Asian nations (ASEAN).
ASEAN is one of the few international organisations to admit Myanmar but its current chairman -- Singapore -- expressed "revulsion" at September's crackdown on monk-led democracy protests in which at least 10 people were killed.
Washington wants Singapore to go one step further and take action in the form of, say, financial sanctions or travel restrictions on members of the regime and their cronies, as the United States and Australia did last month.
Silverberg did not say whether "third party" sanctions, targeting non-U.S. businesses that do business with Myanmar, were among further measures being considered in Washington if the generals fail to embark on an acceptable path to democracy.
"Obviously, we've asked financial institutions and governments worldwide to consider whether their relationships with Burma are helping to facilitate this regime," she said.
|
The most concrete example is Air Bagan, a small airline owned by Htoo Trading, a conglomerate which recently appeared on a U.S. blacklist on account of its links to the junta, which is suspending flights to Singapore.
The city state's Today newspaper said the final straw for the airline, which was struggling with declining passenger numbers after the crackdown, was Singapore banks deciding to "stop dealing with" it.
Despite Washington's assertion that Myanmar's generals park their cash in banks in Singapore -- also their favoured destination for shopping and medical treatment -- Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong insists the financial system is clean.
"We don't play dirty money. We don't condone money-laundering," he told CNN.
The Burma Campaign UK, a London-based activist group, list 10 Singapore firms on its "Dirty List" of those with links to Myanmar, including banks DBS Group Holdings , Oversea-Chinese Bangking Corp and United Overseas Bank , and conglomerate Keppel Corp. .

The protest is the first after the military crushed the peaceful protests in late september. Reports claimed the monks came out one hour after the junta sponsored one househould one person must attend pro-junta demonstration.

George Yeo's answers in Parliament
15
That is what Mr George Yeo replied to one of many questions. The minister didn't deny sales of defence items, instead stressed that the sales items are not suitable for countering civilian unrest. But what kind of military items are not suitable for beating and shooting people? The tanks and SAMs may be.
Ms Sylvia Lim: Mr Speaker Sir, what concerns me is to what extent
REPLY
Minister: On the question of military sales, I've given a full answer earlier. It's been insubstantial. We've always made sure they were items which could not be used against civilians and there has been no sales in recent years. I shouldn't go on beyond that because it is our established policy not to divulge details of military sales. We have replied to the Australian newspaper. As for the reports about helping them establish a listening facility to monitor civilian dissidents, there's no truth in that. We have made repeated clarifications to Australian newspapers. They have printed our replies, but somehow the journalists who wrote subsequently ignored those replies we've made. As for their accusations about us being involved in drug money laundering, it goes back quite a long time to Dr Chee Soon Juan. We've clarified again and again but they keep being recycled and that article you've referred to contains some of that recycled hash.
The answer is the same as answered before. But, let's see what he has said before. In answer 16,
16 Ms Eunice Olsen asked whether the Government would consider granting humanitarian assistance to the
That was an admission that Singapore has helped trained Myanmar officials. The training included IT and telecommunications, which can be used against monitoring activists in and out of the country. It is also mentioned a training centre was set up in Yangon. Isn't this be the cyber centre an australian newspaper mentioned? I believe it is the one. 6000 officials in for training and a training centre is more than good enough to monitor large webs of activists around the world. Moreover, never in the history of Burma, the military had intention to help general public, let alone training 6000 officials for them.

The word 'trouble-makers' is an insult to the peaceful demonstrators including monks and nuns. Although the Foreign Minister probably referred to the word used by Burmese Junta, it was not a wise choice, for we, Burmese, felt greatly insulted by it. It leads us to think Singapore has no genuine desire to help the oppressed general population but the cruel military only. By saying so, the trip to the Buddhist Monastery was wasted.

Although many claimed this as a Big lie exposed, I personally think this might not be the case. There is no way the editor could miss to check the picture and words especially when they have original picture in hand in full color as well as the source where it comes from. Moreover this oversight is far more impossible especially after killerthanshwe message appeared on Myanmar Times. It is very likely this is indeed a very brave silent protest. I salute everyone involved in it.
Even the news just beside the picture might not be a coincidence. Although the news apparently slams
If I am to think more, I feel even the message in Burmese above the picture is not there by chance. Normally, it is a usual SPDC slogan. But the message reads “Double the effort to produce” in English. Right above the pictures of anti-junta protests? Isn’t it possible they are asking the people to double the efforts to (produce)strike again?
These could be the facts or these could be my imaginations. However, this time, no one would come out and say it is us who did that.

Ko Kyaw Thu and gentleman face mask wearing dogs
Recently, I heard different rumours about Ko Kyaw Thu and his wife whereabouts. One said they went to the border, another said they were in
Just today, I heard the real news from the inside source. It is true both of them were arrested. How do you think they get arrested?
The one who told me didn’t know the exact date, so I would leave the date open. Just before bedtime on the last day they donated meals to the monks, Ko Thura heard the news about imminent arrest. Then, Ko Thura sent Ko Kyaw Thu and his wife to a safe place along with
That is why when the couple was not at home anymore when the authorities showed up at their house to make an arrest. What do you think the respectable authorities did then? Without giving any reasons, they hauled up eighty years old U Sein Tin, father of Ko Kyaw Thu. Just think how respectful the gentleman face mask wearing dogs are.
They then left a message to the family members left behind;
“Tell that crap Kyaw Thu to come and submit himself if he ever wants to see his dad alive again, if not, don’t blame us!”
As a result, Ko Kyaw Thu had to exchange his life with his father’s. His wife, Ma Shwe Zee Gwek, said she would follow her husband and let them arrested.
Just before that day, I had a lengthy conversation with Ma Shwe Zee Gwek while waiting for Ko Kyaw Thu to come back from demonstration camp. I got a chance to chat with Ko Kyaw Thu just before we left Ko Thura house in the morning. They are so courageous.
I remember the last words Ko Kyaw Thu said;
“Well done, well done. Please carry on. I will also carry on.”
U Maung, I have given my words.
I will not let you down U Maung and Ko Thura. I will not back off.

The killers will get killed
It is well documented that during 1988 demonstrations, thousands of people were gunned down by the military. What the world didn’t know was what happened to the soldiers who opened fired on the peaceful protesters.
It was no coincidence Burma Army strongholds Mine Yang and Maethawaw fell into the hands of BCP (Burmese Community Party) and KNU (Karen National Union) respectively just after the killings. The army launched major offensives against BCP and KNU soon after at one go. Troops deployed in the cities were ordered out and sent straight to the front lines. As a result, Burma Army not only recaptured Mine Yang and Maethawaw, they started overrunning many more BCP camps and KNU camps one after another in a shockingly short time.
Later, words were reached to the towns that during both operations, soldiers were given two options. Either keep on charging against the rebel gun fires or be shot. Although the authenticity of the options was to be questioned, one true fact remains. That is, ALL of the soldiers who killed the demonstrators were killed during these operations. Today, it is believed not a single killer (soldier) live to tell his personal experiences of '88 killings.
Now, KNPP has captured one army camp. It is so doubtful how an outpost which is so close to state capital Kalaw could fall to relatively weak rebel group like KNPP. There are words of ABSDF and SSA preparing offensives against the army, news which will be so welcomed by the generals. After all, if history is to be repeated, it is time the killers get killed.

Five Generals and soldiers jailed for refusing to shoot monks
The Jakarta Post
The official, who asked for anonymity out of fear he would be punished by the junta, said it was the first sign of divisions in the country's secretive establishment.
"The five generals expressed their refusal to deploy their troops against the monks openly. They were then quickly put into detention by the junta.
"Some 400 soldiers of the Sagaing Division near
The official refused to disclose the names of the generals or give further details on where the generals and the soldiers were detained.
Following
Foreign diplomats and Burmese dissidents said the true death toll was much higher.
The official said that most civil servants like himself did not like what the junta had done to the monks but were too afraid too show their feelings.
"Monks are a symbol of our religion and our life. People are very angry that the military dared to shoot them. It is considered the biggest sin to kill monks," the official said.
He said that many civil servants and other workers were beginning to quietly express their dissatisfaction by staying at home and not working.
Shwe Myo Thant, secretary-general of the Chiang Mae-based Nationalities Youth Program, an organization of 12 ethnic groups working to empower Burmese people, agreed that many workers were boycotting the junta by staying home.
"They want to show the military that they disagree with the violent crackdown. By not working, we hope that they can put more pressure on the junta to open dialog. Beside the civil servants and the workers, the monks are also continuing their protest inside their monasteries by staying silent and refusing to pray for the government," he told the Post on Sunday at his office in Chiang Mae.
Analysts have speculated that the disobedience of some military generals could be the beginning of cracks inside the military establishment, leading to civilians taking power in a manner similar to the events in

Will S'pore welcome Osama Bin Laden?
Mr Lee also responded to a question on whether Singapore should prevent members of the Myanmar government from coming to Singapore for medical treatment.
He said: "I think we have to decide whether we're trying to influence the policy of a government or whether you want to do petty indignities to individuals, which is really against human nature.
"Somebody who is sick, he wants to come to Singapore, he needs treatment and you're telling me that I shouldn't treat him because he is not a good man? It goes against the Hippocratic oath of doctors."
Source:CNA
If Mr Lee thinks it is against human nature to deny medical treatment to individuals, will Singapore admit Mr Osama Bin Laden to SGH if he ever needs treatment? It is still against the Hippocratic oath of doctors, isn't it?
I think Singapore should accept Mr Osama if Singapore accepts Burmese generals. They are no better than Osama Bin Laden. They share a lot in common.
They take US as enemy. They are happy to see US people killed. They killed innocent people.
When Al Qaeda killed nearly 3000 in Sep 11 attacks, Burmese generals happily announced the news on national TV and run articles on national Newspapers. But not a word of sorrw for the victims were said.
Whenever storms, floods, tornadoes, hit US, Burmese people are the first to read on newspapers. Whenever building, and bridge collapse in US, Burmese people are the first to see. Whenever lunatic shoots people in US, Burmese people are the first to know.
At least, Al Qaeda is fighting arms against arms. Burmese generals are killing unarmed civilians with guns.
So, Singapore...what would you do? Welcome Mr Osama Bin Laden?

Now, we are asking you to either interfere or call the police, which in this case is UN. Again, the police cannot just knock the door and wait until the fight is over. They never did anyway. They have to break the door and go in with guns ready if needed. So, here it is, it is now time for the neighbours to tell the police to break in and ACT simply because they have seen and heard how bad the situation inside is. They just cannot tell the police to issue warnings outside the door. That won’t work.

The Evidence
These are not the pictures you want to see time and again. But these are the pictures you should never ever forget. These are the hard evidence how brutal the military regime is. These are the images of a dead body of a monk floating in the Nga Moe Yeik river. The injuries sustained by this monk can still be seen on his head and the back. In fact it is clear almost the whole body was badly beaten before the body was thrown into the river.
And this particular sighting proved the rumours about the army throwing dead monks into the Yangon river after the killings was indeed true. In fact, this is not the first time the dead bodies were thrown into the river. The burmese army thrown more than 300 dead bodies into Irrawaddy river after the massacre in Sagaing on 9-8-88. The relatives of the deaths had to go as far as 10 to 20 miles down stream to collect the bodies up to a week.
The world could not afford to wait longer. The oppressive military regime has to be overthrown for the sake of 50 million burmans who have been suffering under military rule for almost half a century.
