In September, AAPP documented thesentencing of 11 political activists, theindictment of 13 individuals (including 2detained), and the release of 2 politicalprisoners.

The Committee for Scrutinizing the RemainingPolitical Prisoners was again an issue inSeptember. Aung Thein, Deputy Minister in thePresidents office and Secretary of theVerification Committee for the Release ofRemaining Political Prisoners, was quoted inRFA at one point stating that the committee

may be disbanded as there are almost noremaining political prisoners. He argued thatthose that do remain are incarcerated undercriminal offences. He also hinted at plans tocreate new linkages between the Minister ofHome Affairs and political prisoners group toset up a new committee.

Issues surrounding media freedom alsopersisted through September. A two dayconference on media development was hostedby the Myanmar Media Development Thematic

Working Group, UNESCO, the Ministry ofInformation, and International Media Support(an NGO) in Rangoon on September 18 and 19.At the same time, the Government has decidedto bring defamation charges against twopublications in Burma, after negotiationsthrough the Interim Press Council failed toresolve ongoing issues.

Meanwhile, the Myanmar National HumanRights Commission (MNHRC) submitted aproposal to the government urging them to

sign the International Economic, Social, andCultural Rights Covenant and the Civil andPolitical Rights Covenant. The currentgovernment had also promised in January ofthis year that they would sign on to the UNConvention Against Torture in September, yetno mention has been made of such a step thismonth.

Conclusion / Analysis

Most disconcerting is the governmentscontinued reliance upon Section 18 of thePeaceful Assembly and PeacefulProcession Act as a means to indict andimprison political opponents. Thismonth, an additional ten people weresentenced under Section 18, while twelvewere charged under the broadly appliedlaw. It should be strongly noted that one

of those twelve was a solo protester,despite the fact that the law explicitlyapplies only to groups of more than oneperson. This clearly exemplifies thecurrent governments disregard for therule of law when in pursuit of their ownpolitical objectives.

Similarly, the ongoing arbitrary detentionof Phyu Hnin Htwe over baseless chargesstemming from an incident in May isanother example of this blatant disregard

for international norms regarding anindividuals basic rights to a fair trial. Shewas held incommunicado for the first twodays of her detention, and has remainedin detention without any legitimateexplanation as to why she has not beengranted bail.

On January 16, 2014, Deputy Minister ofForeign Affairs Thant Kyaw stated thatBurma would sign on to the UNConvention against Torture (UNCAT) at

the UN General Assembly (UNGA) inSeptember. As of writing, the conventionis yet to be signed on to, and no indicationhas been given that the Burmesedelegation plans to sign on; Minister of

Foreign Affairs Wunna Maung Lwin, headof the delegation, made no mention of itin his statement to the UNGA.

The ongoing difficulties of the Committeefor Scrutinizing the Remaining PoliticalPrisoners are reflected in the everincreasing numbers of arrests andimprisonments. Yet there is little pressureon the government to improve the

process. There has been little to nocooperation from the government sideand 2014 has seen the Committee processgrind almost to a halt. This directlycontradicts the fact that nine people weresentenced this month under Section 18,as mentioned above. This illustrates thefissure between the rhetoric employed bythe government and the actual state ofaffairs within Burma regarding politicalprisoners. If the Committee ends in its

being disbanded, the questions will stillremain regarding, what, if anything, willreplace it. Without such a processpolitical prisoner issues are always indanger of falling from government andinternational agendas altogether.

AAPP urges the government to fulfill theircommitment to signing on to UNCAT, aswell as President Thein Seins promise toensure the release of all political prisonersin Burma.
