Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2002
Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
March 31, 2003...
"Burma is ruled by a highly authoritarian military regime. In 1962 General Ne Win overthrew the elected civilian government and replaced it with a repressive military government dominated by the majority ethnic group. In 1988 the armed forces brutally suppressed prodemocracy demonstrations, and a junta composed of military officers, called the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), led by Senior General Than Shwe, took control. Since then the SPDC has ruled by decree. The judiciary was not independent, and there was no effective rule of law..."

1. Myanmar: Limited human rights improvements -- serious concerns persist
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
PRESS RELEASE -
AI Index: ASA 16/013/2003 (Public)
News Service No: 075 -
1 April 2003.
"Almost two months after its first-ever visit to Myanmar, Amnesty International
welcomed some limited improvements in the human rights situation, but at the
same time expressed disappointment that other urgent steps have not yet been
taken by the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), the military government.
The SPDC has told the organization that political prisoners now have access
to reading materials and social contact, which are positive developments. However
over 1200 political prisoners are still held in prisons throughout the country, and
the pace of releases has decreased considerably in the last four months..."

Supping With The Devil:
"Deep in the jungle of southern Burma (Myanmar) live 40,000 villagers who tend
to maize and rice farms, raise livestock and fish in the rivers. Traversing their land
is a natural gas pipeline, 1 meter in diameter and 2 meters underground. It begins
350 kilometers offshore before entering western Burma and extending eastward
63 kilometers toward Thailand. The $1 billion pipe is owned by Unocal, TotalFinaElf,
a Thai company and a state-owned energy company in Burma..."
