CHR 2002: Oral statement by Aliran Kesedaran Negara

Description: 

Agenda Item 9: Question of the violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms in any part of the world. "...While every prisoner release in Burma is welcome, I am extremely concerned that at the current rate [of releases], Professor Pinheiro will have to travel to Burma for at least another 50 or 60 times before most of the political prisoners can be freed. I am sure budgetary constraints would make such frequency of travel practically impossible. [In addition, the Burmese military regime tends to "recycle" i.e. rearrest political prisoners for the sheer joy of releasing them in dribs and drabs.]..."
