Justice for 2015 Burma election

There will be a meeting between representatives of the government, parliament, military and political parties at the presidential residence in Naypyidaw on 31 October 2014. (DVB) Last year Daw Aung San Su Kyi called for a quadripartite meeting with the president, parliamentary speakers, the military chief and herself to discuss amending Burma’s 2008 Constitution. In my personal opinion, this meeting could be a good opportunity to talk about the peace process deadlock.

Justice for "Ko Par Gyi"

He, Ko Par Gyi, is the reporter and a friend of my aunt had been missing for about one month while he was reporting in Mon state on the recent fighting between the Burmese army and Karen rebels. Unfortunately, his sudden disappearance was taken as a usual thing happening for the reporters and political person while taken by the police and military. His wife, family and his close friends had been trying to contact him and to save him in last week.Today news about Ko Par Gyi made me shock and sad. He was killed while in custody of government soldiers, according to the Interim Myanmar Press Council. Ref http://www.irrawaddy.org/burma/missing-reporter-killed-custody-burma-army-report.html
 I would like to stand for Ko Par Gyi and his family on the side of justice.

For The Truth

The more I read and hear about this case, the more I've become intrigued. Despite many inconsistencies and discrepancies brought to the public attention by media, I am not in a position to make any projections. But I request to my fellow Burmese and international friends to show our continued support. We should continue to strongly demand (1) the truth, nothing but the whole truth (2) an independent investigation and (3) safety of the two arrested workers and avoidance of physical or mental torture towards them during their detention.

After reading a couple of articles relating to this news which lead to these two men who did't commit the crime are accused , physically and mentally tortured by Thai police. Justice is a dream for these two men and poor British holiday maker couple.
