Sub-title: Nearly 30 years after becoming head of a government-in-exile formed at a jungle base on the border with Thailand, Dr Sein Win has returned to Myanmar.
Description: "AMID THE turbulent and sometimes bloody politics of Myanmar, members of one of the country’s most famous families have devoted most or all of their lives to the struggle for freedom, either from colonialism or dictatorship. One of them, Dr Sein Win, 74, has finally come home. Sein Win is a nephew of independence hero Bogyoke Aung San and a cousin of State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Sein Win’s father, U Ba Win, was among the nine men killed in a hail of gunfire when Aung San was assassinated during a meeting of the pre-independence cabinet at the Secretariat in Yangon on July 19, 1947. Ba Win was minister of trade. Two years after the brutal crushing of the national uprising against military rule in 1988, Sein Win became prime minister of the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB). He headed the government-in-exile from its formation near the Thai border in December 1990, until its dissolution on September 14, 2012. After nearly 30 years in exile, Sein Win returned to his motherland in the second week of August and since then has been receiving a steady stream of journalists and well-wishers at a bungalow in Yangon’s outer northeastern South Okkalapa Township. He greets visitors in a longyi and the ochre-coloured pinni (handspun jacket) favoured by members of the National League for Democracy, with which the NCGUB was closely aligned during the years of repression after the NLD’s landslide victory in the 1990 election that the ruling military junta refused to honour..."

Description: "After 12 years of fighting in vain to bring down Burma?s military junta, now known as the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), the exiled Burmese democracy movement finds itself in disarray. There are growing signs of a lack of motivation and frustration among Burmese activists and dissidents in exile, particularly in Thailand. Political opportunism and favoritism within the movement are a further cause of concern. A lack of leadership and infighting among dissidents in exile are also serious obstacles for Burmese seeking to achieve the ultimate goal of restoring peace and democracy to Burma. Analysts and some dissidents now say that it is time to eradicate the "virus" that has long sapped the strength of the democracy movement. A revolution within the revolution may indeed be imminent. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the formation of the government in exile, the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma..."

Description: "ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Burma continues to be under a reign of terror imposed by the ruling military junta. The situation is aggravated by the lack of rule of law in the country. When a general uprising for reforms started in Burma on August 8, 1988, the military violently crushed the democracy movement. After staging a coup, the generals imposed military rule in Burma in the name of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). SLORC promised to hold multiparty democratic elections and to hand over the state power to the election’s winning party. When elections were held on May 27, 1990, the National League for Democracy won by a landslide garnering more than 82 percent of the seats. The generals, however, ignored the wishes of the people and refused to acknowledge the election results. Power has yet to be transferred to the people. In 1993, SLORC convened the so-called National Convention. It invited a few elected representatives and stacked its convention with an overwhelming majority of its hand-picked delegates. The sham Convention was to draft a constitution preferred by the military -- one which would prolong the military dictatorship in Burma. Today, the constitution drafting process is still going on and no fixed timetable has been announced as to when that process is due to finish. Since there is no constitution in the country, the SLORC is taking all liberties with regard to constitutional and legislative matters, and has been acting as an entity above the law. Thus, it has been acting as the sole maker of the law and has hijacked the entire judicial system. Law courts have lost their right to uphold the law or to be independent in making decisions. Since SLORC has a monopoly over legislative, administrative and judicial powers, no one dares to criticize the injustices being committed by the SLORC. Today, an untold number of human rights violations by the SLORC are taking place all over the country and in many different ways. Using various excuses, the SLORC has been threatening and harassing people who refused to tow its line. People who criticize the military are jailed under trumped-up charges. Students, monks, politicians and other activists advocating democracy and human rights are illegally detained, tortured, and given long prison terms. Torture and inhumane treatment of political prisoners have become routine practice for SLORC..."
