REVIEW</h2> <h3>March in Numbers</h3> <p>Sentenced: 15</p> <p>Arrests: 32</p> <p>Charged: 16</p> <p>Released: 25</p> <p><strong><em>●●●</em></strong></p> <p> </p> <h2>March Month in Review<strong><em> </em></strong></h2> <h3>Armed Conflicts in Ethnic Regions</h3> <p>Armed ethnic conflict has been occurring in Burma for over 70 years. 7 decades on indigenous people living in ethnic regions continue to face serious human rights violations due to the non-ending conflict. Often indigenous people are targeted by both armed groups and the military. On March 21, the National Reconciliation and Peace Centre (NRPC) and representatives of eight Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement Non Signatory Ethnic Armed Organisations (NCA-NS EAOs) held a meeting and released <a href="http://www.nrpc.gov.mm/en/node/286">a joint declaration</a> after the meeting. This declaration included some agreements such as continuing the coordination and efforts toward reducing the ongoing armed conflicts and efforts to solve political problems, continuing forming the basis for national reconciliation and peace through peaceful political means. The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) welcomes the meeting and efforts made towards sustainable national reconciliation and peace. However, as conflicts continued after the meeting, we cannot say it has been effective yet. Along with severe clashes occurring between the military and Arakan Army (AA), the arrests, tortures, charges, killings, disappearances and injuries to civilians have been increasing.</p> <h3>Arrests</h3> <ol> <li>In March, the military arrested 27 villagers from Rathedaung, Kyauktaw, Minbya and Mrauk-U Townships over the suspicion of in connection with the Arakan Army (AA). A patient from Mrauk-U Township out of 27 villagers arrested died after he was arrested by the military while he was being taken to the hospital and another nine civilians from Mrauk-U Township was filed under Section 17(1),(2) of the Unlawful Association Act.</li> <li>Five leaders from the Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) were charged under Article 17/1 of the Unlawful Association Act by the military.</li> <li>Khaing Thu Kha, a spokesman for the Arakan Army (AA), said there were seven civilians out of the eleven people who were arrested in clash in Paletwa Township in Chin State, and that those seven people will be released in recent days.</li> <li>Chin Haw, Thantaung Village Administrator from Paletwa township, Chin State, said he was beaten by the Arakan Army(AA) while he and Police Lieutenant Salai Bifa were being held in detention for five days.</li> <li>12 villagers from Mang Li Village in Shan State’s Namtu Township went missing after clashes between the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS/SSA) and the forces of  Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and Shan State Progressive Party/Shan State Army(SSPP/SSA). RCSS/SSA released 8 out of 12 arrested villagers after approximately one months detention.</li> <li>70 farmers from Man Pein Village in Kutkai Township, Shan State, were released by the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) after one weeks detention.</li> <li>Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) has released eight ethnic Lishaw people from Namhkam Township after 11 days detention.</li> </ol> <p>Besides the arrests, locals have died and been injured due to the clashes between the military and Arakan Army (AA) in Mrauk-U, Buthidaung, Minbya and Kyauktaw Townships in Arakan State and in Shan State between the ethnic armed groups in Nam Land Sub Township, Hsipaw, Kyethi, Kyaukme and Namtu Townships. Moreover, Ba Saw, Former Thayettapin Village Administrator from Kyauktaw in Arakan State, Kyaw Kyaw Hla, the police chief of Tain Nyo police station in Mrauk-U Rakhine State, a Ferryman, identified as Maung Chay from Arakan State’s Rathedaung Township, and Aung Kyaw Nyunt from Paletwa Township in Chin State, were assassinated.  </p> <p>During the widespread armed conflict in Burma, civilians are routinely targeted arrested, killed and tortured. Yet despite this, the government fails to take accountability and responsibility for these serious human violations. Burma has ignored repeated calls from civil society to sign and ratifiy the <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/en/professionalinterest/pages/cat.aspx">Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT)</a> and <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/ProfessionalInterest/ccpr.pdf">International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)</a>. Despite holding three sessions of The Union Peace Conference —21st Century Panglong and a meeting with eight Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement Non Signatory Ethnic Armed Organizations (NCA-NS EAOs), it is essential that the Burmese government signs and ratifies these international treaties such as ICCPR and UNCAT to build a concrete national reconciliation and peace. Furthermore, we urge the government to respect the Section 353 of the 2008 Constitution of Burma proclaims that “Nothing shall, except in accord with existing laws, be detrimental to the life and personal freedom of any person”.</p> <h3>Freedom of Speech</h3> <p>The condition of freedom of speech continues to deteriorate.  The value of democracy declines due to the arrests, charges and sentences of civilians for staging a protest without permission, sharing their opinions and delivering a speech against authorities. In March Dr. Aye Maung and author Wai Hin Aung, were both sentenced to 22 years imprisonment for speeches given at the event commemorating the 233rd anniversary of the fall of the Arakan Kingdom in Arakan State. Moreover, six protest leaders, Nay Myo Win,  Tin Zaw Win, Aung San Lin, Hein Thura Zaw, Marlar Soe and Yamin Soe, were sentenced to one month imprisonment each for holding a protest to demand the reinstatement of workers who were fired by the Tharabar Hotel and for calling for improvements in labour rights. Additionally, the military filed a lawsuit against movie Director Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi for criticising the army’s role in politics in a series of Facebook posts and against Writer Nwe Thar Ki for making a live broadcast, which the military accused him of trying to intentionally create a misunderstanding between the people and the Tatmadaw.</p> <p>Despite the civilian-led government being in power for three years, its civilians continued to be threatened and oppressed in contravention of international and domestic law. These arrests and threats are even in contravention of the NLD’s own <a href="http://www.burmalibrary.org/docs21/NLD_2015_Election_Manifesto-en.pdf">Election Manifesto</a>, which that the NLD will “Defend effectively those rights guaranteed by the constitution, and strengthen those rights in accordance with the present era.” Accordingly, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) urges the government to respect and address the basic human rights such as freedom of speech.</p> <h3>Land Issues</h3> <p>The <a href="http://www.globalnewlightofmyanmar.com/message-of-greetings-sent-by-president-u-win-myint-on-the-occasion-of-the-peasants-day-celebrations/">Message of Greetings sent by President U Win Myint on the occasion of the Peasants Day states that the Union Government</a> has been working with diligence and focused attention for the release of illegally confiscated farmlands, to give out compensation and grievances suffered, to return released farmlands to original owners as quickly as possible, to make sure that confiscated farmlands which have not yet been released are investigated and reviewed as speedily as possible by the various committees and returned to the original owners. Indeed in March there was some positive developments and some confiscated land was returned and land permits and land compensation were given to farmers in Magwe Division and Irrawaddy Division and Mandalay Division.</p> <p>Burma’s economy is highly reliant of agriculture and land cultivation. Besides that, rural farmers account for 70 per cent of the population in the agro-based country. Hence, it is crucial to protect the interest of farmers to develop the land sector which is a major economic sector of the country. The <a href="http://www.burmalibrary.org/docs21/2013-10-08-Protection_of_Farmers%27_Rights-32-en.pdf">Law of Protection of the Farmer Rights and Enhancement of their Benefits</a> is designed to protect farmer rights. Nevertheless, farmers in Burma face losing their land due to land confiscation and disputes. When land is taken, appropriate compensation is not often paid. Moreover, land rights activists who do speak out, often face arrest as was seen this month.</p> <p>Land rights activists Myo Win and Aye Thein, farmers Ko Moe and Than Tun were sentenced to one month imprisonment each for staging a ploughing protest to return the confiscated in Pyin Oo Lwin in Mandalay Division, confiscated land for no 5 central training camp of the South Western Regional Military Command in Kha Yin Chaung Village in Shwe Thaung Yan Town, Irrawaddy Division. Then  on March 3<sup>rd</sup>  700 locals  from Yinmarbin Township in Sagaing Division staged a protest calling for the return of farmland included in the 10,000-acre Wahseintaung protected forest in Yinmarbin Township, are affected the Land Sector. This shows despite the few instances of land being returned or compensation being granted, land confiscation is still rife, and farmers and land rights activists continue to be arrested, harassed and detained when they speak out.</p> <h3>Prison Reform</h3> <p>Despite numerous efforts made by both AAPP and MNHRC to undertake prison reform, the implementation of prison reform continues to be delayed. This means human rights violations continue to occur. On March 24, four Yadanabon Students, who are serving their prison sentences for burning ministers in effigy during a protest to demand better security on campus, were injured as they were slapped, kicked, beaten with sticks,  and had their heads smashed against a wall by over 20 prison staffs. Cho Win Tun, the superintendent of Obo Prison, denied that there was beatings against the students and instead stated that they just admonished the students. This shows that torture continues within Burmas prisons.</p> <p>Another major issue regarding prisons in Burma is overcrowding. Khin Aye Swe, auditor general of Mandalay Region, said Mandalay Central Prison has three times the number of prisoners that it should have. The prison only has one staff member for every 26 inmates, whereas the optimal number is set at 1 for 12. She also highlighted the lack of medical staff. This is the situation of most prisons within Burma, not just Mandalay Central Prison.</p> <p>To undertake prison reform effectively, a Human Rights and Potential Prison Reform Workshop, was organized by MNHRC and AAPP and was held in Nay Pyi Taw in March. They discussed the number of prisoners that each prison should have, presidential pardons, the potential reduction of sentence for those  who are being imprisoned unfairly. The workshop also discussed how 80 percent of prisoners are imprisoned in relation to drug charges, and how Burma’s prison laws are not inline with international standards. MNHRC will submit reports to the president. While initial efforts have been made for prison reform, AAPP urges the government to continue its work and carry out to reform the prisons immediately without any delays.</p> <p><strong><em>●●●</em></strong></p> <p>For more information:</p> <p>Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP)<br /> Tate Naing (Secretary)<br /> +95 (0)9428023828</p> <p>Bo Kyi (Joint Secretary )</p> <p>+95(0) 942530 8840</p> <p>Download link for Month in Review <a href="https://aappb.org/2019/04/aapps-march-chronology-2019-and-current-political-prisoners-list/mir-march/" rel="attachment wp-att-8270">MiR March</a></p> <p>Download link for Chronology <a href="https://aappb.org/2019/04/aapps-march-chronology-2019-and-current-political-prisoners-list/march-chronology-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-8272">March Chronology</a></p> <p>Download link for Remaining PP list <a href="https://aappb.org/2019/04/aapps-march-chronology-2019-and-current-political-prisoners-list/45-remaining-pp-list-updated-on-march-31-2019-mpfinal/" rel="attachment wp-att-8274">45 Remaining PP list Updated On March 31, 2019 (MP)</a></p> <p>Download link for Facing Trial list <a href="https://aappb.org/2019/04/aapps-march-chronology-2019-and-current-political-prisoners-list/319-facing-trial-list-updated-on-march-31-2019-mp/" rel="attachment wp-att-8276">319 facing trial list updated on March 31, 2019 (MP)</a></p> <p>Download link for 66 (D) list <a href="https://aappb.org/2019/04/aapps-march-chronology-2019-and-current-political-prisoners-list/66-d-total-listnew-updated-41/" rel="attachment wp-att-8278">66 (D) total list(new) Updated</a></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-wrap"> <div class="footer"> <div class="footer-widget-wrap">  <div class="footer-widget-left"> <div class="textwidget"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), otherwise known as AAPP, is a human rights organization based in Mae Sot, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. AAPP advocates for the release of all remaining political prisoners in Burma and for the improvement of their quality of life during and after incarceration. AAPP has developed rehabilitation and assistance programs for those political activists who have been released while continuing to document the ongoing imprisonment of political activists in Burma.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As long as political prisoners exist inside Burma, Burma will not be free. They represent the struggle for democracy, human rights, equality and freedom for the people of Burma. This makes the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners an integral part of Burma’s drive for national reconciliation.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="footer-widget-right">
