I am very upset to know my mother land still has human rights problems. The military government is constantly arresting human right activists in Myanmar. Naw Ohn Hla, and nine others were arrested on 13 August, 2013. Naw Ohn Hla is a Karen from Mawbee township in Rangoon, and has spent her life campaigning for human rights and democracy. The military related government still retains absolute power and it is a stark reminder that those new freedoms can be snatched away at any time.
