KHRG Commentary #2001-C2. "This Commentary examines the SPDC?s use of political prisoners and empty talks in Rangoon to win favour and money internationally even while the Army continues its campaigns of destruction and killing in the countryside; meanwhile, the regime tries desperately to cover up its use of forced labour in the face of an investigating team from the International Labour Organisation. The report concludes that the world needs to listen much more to Burma?s people, and less to its politicians."
