Part 1 of 3: Years of political upheaval in Burma has forced thousands of people to seek refuge in neighboring Thailand, either as registered refugees or unregistered migrant workers. There are also thousands of internally displaced peoples desperately trying to stay alive in areas aggressively patrolled by the State Peace and Development Council (the oppressive Burmese military).
The first big wave of asylum seekers fled to Thailand after the 1988 student uprising in Rangoon, among them was a young doctor, Dr Cynthia Maung. When in Mae Sot, Dr Cynthia Maung collaborated with sympathetic Thai and Karen communities to establish an emergency referral service for sick and injured asylum seekers to access health care at the Mae Sot hospital. In an effort to curb the rampant malaria and diarrhoea in the border region, Dr Cynthia started to train others in basic health care. These initial efforts slowly grew into the comprehensive health centre, which is the Mae Tao Clinic.

Myanmar and Sri Lanka will cooperate in world parleys 15th June 2009
Myanmar and Sri Lanka have opted to work in mutual cooperation during international parleys.
The President held talks with Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council of the Union of Myanmar General Than Shwe yesterday. A banquet was hosted last night in honour of the President and his entourage at the State Leaders residence. The President during talks with the Myanmar State Leader said the priority of his Government was to create an atmosphere conducive for all people in Sri Lanka to live in peace and harmony. About 100,000 innocent lives were lost in 30 years of terrorism. The President appreciated the support given by Myanmar to crackdown on LTTE drug rackets and other illegal activities within the region. The Myanmar State Leader consented to visit Sri Lanka. Both leaders agreed to formulate the agreement signed between the two countries for direct air services in 1950 to suit the present needs. He also agreed to offer placements for two officials of Myanmar Armed Forces to be trained at the Kotalawela Defence Academy. The Myanmar State Leader opted to explore the possibility of providing marbles for the Pagodas that are to be built in the Nine Provinces in Sri Lanka.

Our lives, our education - Voices of the children in Burma
Burma, the largest country in South East Asia, is a country like no other. It is a country of plentiful natural resources, pristine scenery and many different ethnic groups. But the people of Burma can't fully benefit from the beautiful country they live in. Instead, they have lived for many decades under the brutal rule of a military junta: the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC).
This film reveals the lives of people in the rural areas of Eastern Burma. For three generations, the people of Karen State have been running from human rights violations committed by the SPDC. Those who are forced to flee the regime's brutality are known as 'internally displaced persons': IDPs. Every time they flee their homes, they must start again, building new houses, new schools and ploughing new fields.
In this film we meet the people of Nyaunglebin and Mutraw District in Karen State. They live in daily fear of SPDC troops and receive no support from the government to establish any form of education or healthcare. Here, universal human rights and child rights are brazenly ignored by the Burmese regime.
"In periods when the Burmese army is active, the children do not go to school. They have to hide in the jungle like hunted animals." - Teacher, 32 years
Despite the violations, the people work hard to provide education for their children. Most parents believe education is the best way to secure a better future for their offspring, and the children genuinely want to learn. But in a conflict zone, education is not always a priority.
"I left school when I was 10 years old because of many problems. My family does not have enough food to eat, so I need to help them. I would like to go back to school if my parents could support me." - Girl, 14 years

President arrives in Myanmar 14th June 2009
President Rajapaksa begins his two-day official tour of Myanmar to strengthen bilateral and friendly ties.
The President left for Myanmar this morning. He is visiting the country at the invitation of the Prime Minister of Myanmar. This is the first time that the President has undertaken a foreign tour after eliminating terrorism. This is also the first visit by a Sri Lankan President to Myanmar. He was accorded a warm welcome on his arrival at the Nay Pyi Taw Airport this morning. The President and his entourage were greeted by Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council of the Union of Myanmar Senior General Than Shwe. President Rajapaksa was accorded a Guard of Honour at the Airport. Both countries maintain very close and cordial relations influenced by Theravada Buddhism. Myanmar extended an outstanding support to the operations to wipe out terrorism from the island. It also fearlessly supported Sri Lanka amidst world powers at the UN Human Rights Council.
Sri Lankas Ambassador to Myanmar Newton Gunaratne said the Presidents visit is aimed at further consolidating bilateral and friendly ties. The President is due to meet the Myanmar State Leader, the Prime Minister and many senior officials for discussions. The two sides are expected to ink two agreements for the promotion of tourism in Sri Lanka and also to ease the visa obligations of Myanmar citizens to visit Sri Lanka. The President had a special discussion with the Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council of Myanmar General Than Shwe. The President is accompanied by First Lady Shiranthi Wickramashinghe Rajapaksa, Ministers Rohitha Bogollagama, Dulles Alahapperuma and Mervyn Silva, Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa and Presidents Additional Secretary Gamini Senerath.

Kachin participated a London rally and a peaceful march to condemn Burma's sham election
This rally and peaceful march is to highlight Burma's November 7 fake elections, based on the State Peace and Development Council's 2008 undemocratic constitution, which does not guarantee the basic human rights of people, ignores the principles of equality and popular sovereignty, and makes the military as a special privileged class allowing them to occupy 25 percent of the parliamentary seats in both National, and State and Region Parliaments. There will be no independent judiciary. Democratic voices of the people will not be tolerated and unjust laws remain in place. The constitution undermines federal democracy, ignores the agreed upon principle of 'unity in diversity' and effectively denies 'right of self-determination' of the ethnic nationalities. Therefore, the upcoming elections will not signify or advance democratic reform and, evidently, it is detrimental to the interest and against the aspiration of the people of Burma.

Cross Destroyed in Mindat-2
Statement
Date: 7 Sept., 2010
Burma's ruling junta, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), allegedly ordered the destruction of a cross built by Christians in Mindat Township, Chin State, Burma. On 24 July, 2010, the Christians who had built the cross were forced to destroy it publicly. To date, the junta has destroyed at least nine large crosses in Chin state. More than 90% of the Chin people are Christians, and the cross on which the savior Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for sinners is the most sacred symbol of Christianity. The destruction of crosses is part of a larger effort by the SPDC to eliminate Christianity in Chin state, although the 2008 constitution of Burma protects freedom of worship.
We, Chin Christians from different fellowships and churches in New Delhi, declare that:
(1) The SPDC ignores its own laws protecting freedom of religion in Burma
(2) Throughout the history of Burma, Christians have never tried to undermine the government
(3) Christians contribute to social well-being in Burma
(4) The SPDC is Burmanizing ethnic minorities, forcing Christians to convert to Buddhism, and trying to eliminate Christians in Burma
(5) The Chin people need freedom of religion in Chin state

Combined ethnic Karen armies have besieged three Burma Army base camps near the Thai-Burma border to the south of Mae Sot.
The camps -- at Toh Kyo, K'ne Ley and Maw Kee -- are the government's closest footprint to the Thai border in this mountainous region.
More than 160 soldiers of Burma's ruling military junta, the State Peace and Development Council, are pinned down, living underground, not daring to raise their heads for fear of attracting fire.

Zaw Win @ Justice For Nate Buckley Event - Burning Books, Buffalo, NY (2012-01-04): Part 1
Zaw Win is a courageous and amazing man. He was one of two speakers that participated in the post-statement discussion period for the "Justice For Nate Buckley" event at Burning Books in Buffalo, NY on January 4, 2012 (Facebook Event Page here: http://www.facebook.com/events/345406755484902/ )
For Zaw Win's full back story, here is the article "Freedom Fighters" by Andrew Blake (from ARTVOICE, May 19, 2010):
http://artvoice.com/issues/v9n20/freedom_fighters#ixzz1iw9arWhZ
"At the corner of Massachusetts and Chenango on Buffalo's West Side, a few dozen washers and dryers line the walls of the unassuming storefront that hosts the West Side Value Laundromat. Roseanne Barr glares down from a wall. The poster that features the comedienne in all her chubby-cheeked glory displays a printing date of 1991, a time when Barr was unarguably much more relevant than she is today. As I gawk at the yellow-stained fades stretching across the poster's border, 1991 seems distant to me.
"Zaw Win, a neighborhood resident and proprietor of the newly opened West Side Value Laundromat, remembers 1991 all too well.
" 'They put me in a prison with hard labor for four years because I was fighting for freedom and democracy,' he says.
"Zaw, now 40 years old, became a political prisoner in his native Burma at age 18, while still in high school. He picked up a good chunk of his secondary education (including the English language) by reading and writing on the prison floor. Pencil and paper weren't allowed.
"Today, Zaw is one of around 3,000 Burmese refugees residing in Buffalo. As Burma's military dictatorship has become more brutal and isolating in recent years, Buffalo has become a hotbed for refugees like Zaw. This weekend, May 22 & 23, Buffalo State College will host refugees and activists from all over the US and the world—from as far away as Norway and South Korea—as they meet for the International Burma Democratic Conference for Abolishing Military Dictatorship, for which Zaw serves as a subcommittee chair.
"Nothing appears extraordinary about Zaw Win at first, aside from his broken English, for which he repeatedly apologizes. Once he starts diving deeper and deeper into his personal story though, one can see how imperative the fight really is, especially to him.
"Following a political upheaval in 1962 that stripped the Burmese of democracy and installed a military regime in its place, a tidal wave of poverty and oppression devastated the country, and conditions have only worsened over time. The Burma Socialist Programme Party was the lone political party in the country from the 1960s until 1988, at which point power was transferred in name to the State Peace and Development Council—which preached practically the same ethos and ideals as its military predecessor and continues to rule the country, which it dubbed the Union of Myanmar, with an iron fist today. The country has a population of around 50 million today.
"Growing up in Burma in the 1970s and 1980s, Zaw had to resort to underground news sources to find out about his country's history rather than textbooks and teachers. 'We tried asking for information but we didn't really know what happened before the military takeover,' he says. 'What is democracy and what is freedom? I needed to learn.' When students from a nearby university distributed pamphlets to him, Zaw realized that there was an alternative to the totalitarian one-party system, which infringed greatly on the people's human rights.

Deepening partnership between China and Myanmar
Chinese premier visits Mongolia and Myanmar, also known as Burma. On the third stop of His Excellency's four-nation Asian tour to South Korea, Japan, Mongolia and Myanmar, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao met with his Mongolian counterpart Sukhbaatar Batbold on Tuesday, June 1 where the two signed a total of 9 agreements to boost bilateral ties and cooperation. Furthermore, China has agreed to lend US$500 million to Mongolia to encourage cultural exchange, expand cooperation and development in energy, natural resources, and infrastructure. Mongolian Prime Minister Suhkbaatayrn Batbold said, "I hope this visit will significantly push forward the China-Mongolia good-neighborly partnership of mutual trust and enrich our relationship." On Thursday, Premier Wen met with Burmese Prime Minister U Thein Sein and Senior General Than Shwe, chairman of the State Peace and Development Council, and signed 15 major accords to advance the two countries cooperation in economy, trade, finance, energy, science and technology. This first visit by a Chinese premier to Myanmar in 16 years also marked the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
Our sincere accolades Your Excellencies of China, Mongolia and Myanmar for your mutually cooperative approach to enhancing your countries' relations. May such efforts to promote stable development and peace bring abundant benefit to the Chinese, Mongolian and Burmese people.
