Subject: Burma under SLORC Rated  as Worst Human Rights Violator

RIGHTS GROUP CITES WORST VIOLATORS

Asahi Evening News, December 19, 1995.

WASHINGTON -- Iraq, North Korea and Sudan were cited Monday as the "worst
of the worst" nations with regard to freedom and human rights. The annual
rating by the New York-based human rights group Freedom House characterized
the three nations as completely lacking in civil liberties and political
rights. 

They were among 18 nations at the botton of the Freedom House list, along
with Afghanistan, Burma, China, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and
Syria. This was three fewer than made the list a year ago as Algeria,
Angolaa, Mauritania and Rwanda left the "worst' roster while Nigeria was
added.
