Junta's Thugs

Gliding slowly high in the sky,
Only fed when someone dies,
They must be praying just like vultures,
There should be battle field grounds,
All over.

Feelingless assassins,
Only get paid when someone's life is in ruin,
Washing feet with other's blood,
That's the only way,
To fill their guts.

Ignorant of Buddha's teaching,
Haven't got a clue even written as big as mountains
Cannibals with the arrogance,
Lowest of the low,
SPDC's servants.

Calling themselves power rangers,
But when it comes to others' development, they are strangers,
Their only knowledge is egoism,
Their heads full of excretion.

Being dead morally,
Their rotten names already smelly,
Having equipped with guns and knives,
Beating everything, that seems alive.

Be it a monk, be it a child,
Be it a pregnant woman, OR
Be it a foreigner who comes from miles,
Blood thirsty servants of evil,
All they want is a big smile from the devil.

Idle, lazy and indolent,
Their ambition is still to be influent,
After faliure in every honest and hardworking career,
The quick solution was to join the junta.

Easy life, easy killing,
Just for two dollars, will do anything,
Informing, signalling or grabbing a civilian by all four
Nevermind the Human Rights Laws,
Never even heard of human dignity or respect,
And never have wanted to know.

The shame of the nation, the dishonour of the race,
Carried out infront of the cameras, on the global stage,
This is Burma, where it's formerly known,
As the land of pagodas and the land of grace,
Where the Buddhism shone.

Obnoxious hyenas guarding the monastery,
Fending off everyone who seeks eternity,
This is now the porn movies area,
Where junta thugs smoke, play cards and down beer.

Infectious, contagious and deadly,
If this epidemic disease is not cured immediately,
The chronically troubled nation, already unable to stand,
Will soon become a deserted,
Barren land.

We must rebuild this shattered monument of moral righteousness,
By revolution, solidarity, determination and contumaciousness,
The junta is bagatelle, puny, boneless and impotent,
Without their hired repungent ruffian servants,
So let us hunt down those thugs until they disappear,
To break the backbones of
Junta's infrastructure.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
PRESS RELEASE

16/041/2007 (Public)
News Service No: 229
27 November 2007
Myanmar: arrests continue two months on
Amnesty International condemns the new arrests of political activists inside Myanmar, despite the commitment by Prime Minister Thein Sein to the UN Special Representative Ibrahim Gambari in early November that no more arrests would be carried out.

Two months after the violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrators, arbitrary arrests continue unabated as part of the Myanmmar government’s systematic suppression of freedom of expression and association, contrary to its claims of a return to normalcy," said Catherine Baber, Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific Programme Director.

"Normalcy for the military government may mean a return to systematic and widespread human rights violations away from media attention, but the international community must no longer tolerate this situation," added Catherine Baber.

Amnesty International confirms that the following arrests have occurred since early November:

On 4 November, U Gambira, head of the All-Burma Monks Alliance and a leader of the September protests, was arrested and reportedly charged with treason. Two of his family members previously detained as 'hostages' in an attempt to force him out of hiding, have been kept in detention;
On 13 November, the government arrested Su Su Nway, a member of the youth wing of the main opposition National League for Democracy party. Fellow youth activist Bo Bo Win Hlaing was arrested along with her while putting up anti-government posters;
On 14 November, at least three people were arrested in Yangon for passing out anti-government pamphlets;
On 15 November, authorities raided a monastery in western Rakhine State, and arrested monk U Than Rama, wanted for his involvement in the September protests. He was reportedly beaten during the raid and his whereabouts remain unknown.
On 20 November, Myint Naing, a senior member of the National League for Democracy was detained;
On 20 November, ethnic Arakanese leader U Tin Ohn was detained and his whereabouts remain unknown;
On 20 and 21 November, other ethnic leaders, including Arakanese Cin Sian Thang and U Aye Thar Aung, Naing Ngwe Thein from the Mon National Democracy Front, and Kachin political leader U Hkun Htoo were rounded up but released after questioning;
On 26 November, Aung Zaw Oo, a member of the Human Rights Defenders and Promoters group, was arrested in Yangon, likely on account of his involvement in planning events for International Human Rights Day on 10 December.

Amnesty International is deeply disappointed by the fact that these arrests are still taking place despite the government's promises to the contrary. Just last week, the Myanmar government was attending ASEAN's 40th Anniversary Summit, where it signed the organization's new Charter committing it to the "promotion and protection of human rights".

To date, up to 700 people arrested during and since the September protests remain behind bars, while 1,150 political prisoners held prior to the protests have not been released.

Amnesty International is urgently calling on the government of Myanmar to release all those detained or imprisoned merely for the peaceful exercises of their right to freedom of expression, assembly and association, including both long-term and recent prisoners of conscience, and to stop making further arrests.

Just Arrest All Of Us - The Campaigner Challenges Junta

The HRDP network leader U Myint Aye challenged Junta to arrest all of his members as one of his men, Aung Zaw Oo of Bogalay, Irrawady state was taken away to an unknown destination from a teashop in downtown Rangoon.

'Being arrested in Burma means you just disappeared into thin air. The families will not get the permission to visit you. Most people would not get a chance to get the lawyers. Nobody knows how long the arrested person will have to stay in custody. Nobody even knows where that arrested person is. When the authority arrests someone, without telling on which ground or which criminal act, they are breaking the basic human rights.'

I Have No Shame, Only Pride Said Mother Of Leading Monk

Daw Yay (Yei) , the mother of the leading monk U Gambiya who was arrested on 4th Novermber, said she can only feel proud of her noble son and his colleagues' act - protesting for freedom.

Oh The Great Wall Of Insein Prison

At last I have arrived at the gate of Insein Prison,
Because I was told that my son could be here,
With the biggest hope I had in the world,
Just to see my son's face, however,
I wasn't allowed.
Oh, the Great Wall of Insein Prison !

Standing strongly cold hard and tall,
Do you realise that you are separating the mother from her son?
I beg you for I have come from a long long way,
Please could I see my dear little son?
Even if it is only for one short second.
Oh the Great Wall of Insein Prison.

Please stop ignoring me,
As if you've forgotten that I am here,
How I wish that I was someone called 'David Copperfield',
I heard he could make trains and lorries vanished,
Perhaps I can then make you disappeared.
Oh the Great Wall of Insein Prison !

How I wish that I was the Superman too
with all that super power and speed
I could just glide over you
Just for a little reassurance of seeing my son
Oh the Great Wall of Insein Prison !

I also wish that I could have help from the Lord Sakka
who would not only make sure that I see my son
but also assist all of them to escape from this notorious hell
Oh the Great Wall of Insein Prison !

In real life, I can only cry,
For I am not David Copperfield, Superman nor Lord Sakka,
I just cry and cry and cry,
For I would like to see my dear little son,
Oh the Great Wall of Insein Prison !

I have come from a long long way,
Just to have a chance to see my son's face,
And now I will have to go home, without being given any chance,
I must go now but please do remember,
I will come here again soon,
And this time, perhaps you could let me see my beloved son,
Oh the Great Wall of Insein Prison !

U Agga
U Gaw Thita
U Zar Nay Ya
U Nan Da
U Za Ti La
U Wi Lar Tha and
U Ei Thar Ri Ya.

Ngwe Kyar Yan was one of the monasteries that raided and attacked most brutally by junta during September.

Here are some of the eyewitness accounts of what happened on Thursday 27 September from BBC news.

[I live near the Ngwe Kyar Yan monastery in south Okkalapa. They came to the monastery last night. Only 20 monks escaped out of 200. One monk from this monastery passed away at the demonstration yesterday. The soldiers came at the middle of the night and beat up the monks. The head monk and the other 19 escaped. They beat the monks and loaded them onto a truck like animals. We could hear gunshots, screams and shouting. Soldiers shouted that they are not just going to shoot in the air, but also on people. Anonymous eyewitness, Rangoon]

[At a monastery at midnight) The soldiers ran up to the first floor of the monastery and grabbed the head monk by the neck and dragged him downstairs. They beat up the other monks with batons and sticks. They kicked the sleeping novices to wake them up and ask them if any monks are hiding. The novices are shaking with fear. It is as if they are raiding a rebel camp. Anonymous eyewitness, Rangoon]

To Your Highness Noble Monks

You have shocked the world by standing up for the poor public.

You chose the latter, knowing the penalty will be death, torture and imprisonment. You are true Buddha's sons. You gave up your lives for the better lives of others. We and the whole world have highest respect for your love of human beings and the incredible courage. The courage that no other society has ever seen before.

Junta Turns Holy Monasteries Into Porn Houses

British and Japanse never did such thing during their invasion of Burma because they were told to respect the locals' culture, tradition and religion. (Japanese soldiers were known to raid pagodas for cash and other donated jewelleries.) However, the Junta of Burma are behaving in a way that the Devil himself has to blush. After arresting, torturing and killing all the monks, the junta smiply occupy the moasteries and kept their servants to guard them.

A Letter From Burma - What Goes On In The Country

(Original - Ko Htike's Blog)

m said...
This is for Su Su Nway that what she is doing is right and very brave.I'm proud of her that we got such a bravest woman on earth.

Dear Ko Htike
Thanks for your blog. It is so importance that I would like to suggest that all the bloggers need to put one Notice Board column. There are many cases to come on reporting that whole world to see who is doing what to whom, how the laws are bending for the Army to control forever. The peoples are scar but free blogger Notice Board Column they can just post it and all will know how Army operate in our country. Why they can control the country. Because if you start open your mouth you will go down to the drain. Secondly why the more people dose not move strongly and openly. May be there is shameful blackmailing from intelligence. Many peoples there are shameful for their family to move on. During more than decades of ruling since from 1990 there is open sex all over in Burma. Women can enjoys it and men enjoy it. Nightclubs, Massage clubs, fashion show cheap hotel rooms like Bangkok. Burmese peoples did not prepare for that, it is so opened up that people though there is haven in Burma and many foreigners also enjoying it. Vacant hotel rooms are free for Army officers. No I.D check. Women can move around with army officers, model boys are available almost all the time and Army quarter is no need to report & safe from midnight checking and nobody know. But difference is there is video camera all over the places and people caught up off guard and Army is using it. So much sins and mountains of videotapes in army head quarter. ( Monks can be powerful, they has no sins). Who ever against now is as we can say really saint peoples They and their family didn’t commit any sins so they can move on but many people caught up. Not themselves but their family members. They want to say the whole world but they cannot. That is how all the powerful division commanders are go down quietly. Thirdly there is cracked rules that no body notice that looks good to the peoples but at the end result that is so bad that the people got to live in fear. Example if there is any car accidents you’ll get in jail for the drivers even they are right sentence depend on the case. The poor Burmese happily think that it is good & safe for them and happy with government new law but long run people realise something is stinks in that law but no body can put figure on it. The first case came on around 1993 the Gen. Kyaw Win son got accident and got to the jail after son went to the Australia. After no Army officers or family members has been caught up. New law is simple it came from U Aung Toe that to make “WITH OUT CAR” famous in Burma. Actually that car dose has Legal Wheel Tax, Car licence, Gas Permit Book all the documents legally but except in “KA NGYA NA” Motors Registration Department most of the Burmese dose not bother to check it up there. Of course the traffic polices know all the cars moving in city & in whole Burma that is why they salute to the cars if the woman of army officers are driven or army officers are driven which is not army registration number. If you just quietly pay money and checked up from Motor Registration Department and also after some time shadow people want to know who is asking. But any accident happen the traffic police got to find a legal prove that the car register by whom without that there is no arrest cannot take any legal action because there is no legal registration.That is the cars all army officer and their family and intelligence are using without the people notice it in 15 years. Any accident happen they drive away and walk free, car disappear and repainted and reused in somewhere. All the traffic polices are known who is driven by what car and help is on the way. If Army only using it then people will notice it. So they sold to the people with cheap and greedy peoples with their connection are buy and using it and they got hooked up with sins, some parent got idea that their beloved kids to get safe so they also using it quitly and got sins plus breaking the law that can also put in jail for 2 years too, so every body is bedding with the Army & just wake up in 2006 and found they are sleeping with monster. Also some issued to so called “ WA CARS”. But “WA” also at last found that they are bedding with the monster so run very fast back to their places. IN Rangoon car markets are control by the Ball Ball Gyi Than Shwe sons and group. Almost 50% of the jailers are coming from car accidents cases. I guess 20% are poor car drivers without fair trail. And 25% are framed to the opposition and who ever open their mouth. It is easy that if Army want my ass then wait up to I drive and some one came on the way and kick my car very hard and just went away. I please him for just clear things out and I can move on but next day police arrest me and put me in the jail for 6 months because I hit and drive away the guy was broken bone that doctor broke it over somewhere. The law said that dose accidents happen and if hit and run away there is no excuse and witness are already there that I can not legally fight against it and losing vast amount of money but at the end I’ll end up in the jail. Poor and not own the cars may look better life but also there is unseen rule that make the poor people also suffered too. It is the monster in Burma start rising up and need whole world to work together to put down fast or the whole world will face the new monster that never hear in the history. I noticed that in 2005 but did not know what to do without prove. Burmese peoples slowly come to their sense but damage already done. Army are clearing up their “WITH OUT CAR” mess very fast and almost all are gone but a lots of unsolved death cases road hit and run cases are remain all over in Burma. All countries need to know too. All countries can not take action unless they know what is going on over the law in Burma. Only just guessing out unless people to report it at the first sign so whole world can caught up to the army with their pant down & prevent the monster to rising up. This is the tip of the iceberg.

If there is Free Notice Board in the bloggers the peoples will start putting what they know without names. If I post some things bad about the army thief officers nobody come after me. There may be use against to the people from army but that is already in their reserve record files so dose not matter because sooner or latter they will use it against to the people, but for the blogger there is safe haven for the peoples who cannot say due to many reasons. Like early 1989 there is any army officers wrong doing and if report coming print it with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi signatures and distribute it. If any arrest come the police got to ask the Aunty Suu party and Aunty Suu bravely say if that report is not true can take action against to her so after that the army officers quietly gone. But I guess he is recruit back as the shadow army killers who will kill the people & NLD whenever he get chance. All the recruiters are same that they are guilty but put in the shadow army who is killing now. Army is scar and removed their officer from the post very fast if there is open secret become wide open. But recruit back to the shadow army. Army always need killers because long run they need to put down the up rising again. Honest army officers will not do killing to the people and got no promotion too. That is why all the bloggers need to put Special Notice Board for the peoples that can post any things without endanger their life immediately and also become trust to the free bloggers.
It is same like official complaints but without names. This is suggestion only. There already got free blogger but like me no time to check and did not know where to look for.

For the Burmese people there is rule Number one that there is “No Name”

Because Burmese Army government is using only one rule that is “There is No

The neck was full of scars and one leg was just a broken pieces,' said a friend who attended the funeral.

Saw Maung, the junta official issued a statement saying, ' We never do such thing as torturing , to arrested people. The dead man just admitted all their acts and plans, and then committed suicide by hanging himself with a blanket. It was nothing to do with us.'

An intelligent man, U Maung Ko served as a Manager for Seaport Coperation until 1986, during which time he won many scholarship trainings to UK, Norway, Germany and Sweden. After witnessing how other democratic countries developed successfully, he was determined to bring the democracy to Burma, his beloved mother country, even if it was going to cost him his life.

( Myanmar tycoon blacklisted by US attacks sanctions. Click here for full report. )
Dear U Tay Za
I totally agree with you that the wrongful sanctions will hurt working people of Burma. What those working people need is a good sorting out of the rooted problems of political and economical situations in the country. If you just read this article only, then you will know what those problems are that causing all this trouble in Burma and unless those problems are sorted out, the country will sink deeper still as the majority of people live in poverty. The worst nightmare for everyone from Burma is that one in three children are chronically undernourished in Burma. How did we let them down? Unlike some countries in Africa, Burma supposed to be full of natural resources and fertile soil. Where are they all gone? Who is responsible for those starving children? Is there any person with rightful mind, who can still be happy and enjoy good life, after seeing those starving images ?
