Burma Campaign UK today condemned the sentencing of Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, and urged Aung San Suu Kyi to release them today, and to repeal all repressive laws, which are being used to keep journalists, human rights activists and others in jail for pol… https://t.co/vJAICgkTcM

— Burma Campaign UK (@burmacampaignuk) 3. September 2018

The Official Secrets Act was introduced in 1923, during the colonial era, and carries a maximum prison sentence of 14 years. The government has used the law against journalists in the past to prevent open reporting on government and military activities.

“The attempt by the military to cover up acts of genocide and the decision of the NLD-led government to support this and allow the prosecution to continue highlights many serious problems in Burma today,“ said Anna Roberts, Executive Director at Burma Campaign UK. “There is a climate of growing restrictions on media freedom, and Aung San Suu Kyi must now start facing international pressure over her decision to keep so many repressive laws in place and keep political prisoners in jail.”

Burma Campaign UK is also calling on the European Union to suspend its MyPol training programme with the military-controlled police force, which framed and arrested Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo. As long as the police force is not accountable to the government and under the control of a military accused of genocide, it is hard to see how this can be an effective use of European taxpayers’ money.

“The government should not proceed with a dam so strongly opposed by local people. It will only fuel conflict in Shan State,” said Khur Hseng, a spokesperson of the Action for Shan State Rivers.

The recent dam disaster in Laos, which caused scores of deaths and evacuation of thousands of villagers, has instilled fear of possible dam breakage among communities along the Namtu. The feasibility study for the ill-fated Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy dam project was carried out by the Swedish firm AF Consult, the same group which designed the Yeywa dam, the only existing dam on the Namtu, completed in 2011.

The Upper Yeywa dam is the most advanced of four planned dam projects on the Namtu. The Upper Yeywa dam is situated in Kyaukme township, northern Shan State, and involves companies from China, Switzerland, Germany, and Japan.

The US placed sanctions on security forces responsible for human rights violations in Burma. We’ll continue to shine a light on these atrocities & take action against the perpetrators. In addition we’ll keep calling for the release of journalists Wa Lone & Kyaw Soe Oo. pic.twitter.com/IQu0OpJAH5
