                                          (by - A Supreme Cort Lawyer)

                                   (From the New Light of Myanmar 9-9-98)

	Myanmar is an independent and sovereign nation. Independence and sovereignty
are embodied in the three powers-Executive, Legislative and Judicial. These
three powers are based on the nation's geographical conditions, traditions and
culture of the permanent inhabitants and policies of the government. Thus, it
can be seen that the independence and sovereignty of a nation cannot be the
same as that of another. How can the topography and traditions and culture of
a nation be the same as another's? Although there are land, mountain and water
linkages, there cannot even be a slight similarity due to difference in social
system. Owing to these different basic conditions "Independence and
Sovereignty" has been defined under International Law.

	All the nations sacrifice life in safeguarding their independence and
sovereignty. Some countries observe the law based on religion. In some
countries, administration of power is centred on religious restrictions and
principles. Similarly, their judicial system is also based on religious
principles. No nation has the right to interfere in these systems. These are
the independent sovereign power. Visiting foreigners who breached the existing
laws of the host nation face action in accord with the judicial system of that
host nation. Some nations punish foreigners who stole property in their nation
by cutting off their hand: If the criminal is a juvenile he is caned. Adultery
is punishable by beheading. In some, those guilty of adultery are stoned to
death. Foreign visitors must stay in accord with the laws of the host nation
and within the principles of the administration. Offenders will face action in
accord with the law of the land. It is the existing international law. It is
the power of the internationally acknowledged independence and sovereignty.

	Myanmar culture was blackened by anarchism that was rife in the nation in
1988. The nation was disgraced among world nations due to bad acts of some
people of Myanmar, whose citizens are renowned as highly civilized. The evil
incidents are still hurting the people's hearts interminably. Fright and
anxiety comes into the hearts every time we think about these evil incidents-
and at the same time we feel discontent for the evil situation that we had to
tolerate as we were not able to overcome it. We feel like being haunted by the
shadow of the evil incidents till today. From judicial point of view, we can
see that the Myanmar Tatmadaw was just in restoring the nation to normalcy in
1988 when the situation was uncontrollable and when it was impossible to know
who was holding the power. The nation might have lost independence and
sovereignty and major civil strife might have resulted had the Tatmadaw not
taken up all powers. People would have to suffer the ill consequences. If
action were taken against those who had encouraged the situation, those who
had personally contributed to destruction of the nation and those who had
joined hands with aliens during the time with the criminal act, they would be
actually sent to the gallows for their criminal offences. However, the new
government that took over the state duties at that time pardoned them. There
are incidents in other nations in which effective action was taken against
such persons applying independent and sovereign power. The Myanmar government
has shown much tolerance.

	In reality, Mrs. Aris has been leading National League for Democracy and
trying to cause instability in the nation since 1988. She has not only made
attempts on all fronts to undermine national progress but also created
problems brazenly, always making contacts with America and England in trying
from within and outside to destabilize Myanmar. She often visits residences of
American and British ambassadors and embassies and discuss with them Myanmar's
internal affairs, thus blatantly insulting the independence and sovereignty of
Myanmar.

	She is a daughter of Bogyoke Aung San. However, together with her mother Daw
Khin Kyi, she went to India in 1960. Daw Khin Kyi was then Ambassador of
Myanmar to India. Later, she went to England giving education as the reason.
She changed her diplomatic passport to ordinary passport; On 31 November 1971,
she married a British citizen, Mr. Michael Viallancourt Aris, at Kingston
Registry in London under 1949 British Marriage Law.

	She has never reported her marriage to Myanmar Embassy in London in accord
with the custom of Myanmar citizens. She gave birth to her elder son Alexander
John Christopher Aris on 12 April 1973 in London and her younger son Dannian
Kim Arundel Aris on 24 September 1977. However, she never reported to Myanmar
Embassy in London the birth of her two sons and never filled any birth forms
at the embassy. She had no contact whatsoever with the Myanmar Embassy. I know
about her very well as I had lived in London. As it will be not proper to
write all I have known about her, I am just presenting my article within the
scope of the existing laws.
	
It is stated in every passport issued by Myanmar that as soon as a Myanmar
citizen arrives in a foreign country he must report his arrival to Myanmar
Embassy in that nation. It is known that although she had been to countries
where Myanmar embassies are opened, she never reported her arrival to any
Myanmar mission abroad. She did not even send a note or phoned to any Myanmar
Embassy abroad to report her arrival. Although she had the liability to pay
ten per cent of her earnings to the Myanmar Embassy she never did so. However,
it is known that when she worked as a research fellow at the Indian Institute
of Advanced Studies in India she paid 168,215 rupees to the British Embassy in
New Delhi. This clearly shows that she is a British citizen.

	All British citizens can hold two passports under the existing British law.
But section l 6 of 1982 Myanmar Citizens Law prohibits Myanmars from holding
dual citizenship. The section definitely states that if a citizen left the
nation for good or became a citizen of a foreign country or registered as a
citizen of that nation or obtains another passport or similar papers, that
person ceases to be Myanmar citizens. This statement is very clear and
definite. That shows she no longer belongs to Myanmar and has become a British
subject.

	Brazen acts of a foreign lady causing unrest among people since 1988 to date
should not be tolerated by the government assuming state duties on behalf of
the people. Although the government is tolerating due to some reasons, the 46
million people are suffering mental anguish. The prices of rice, cooking oil
and salt are soaring as she is giving timing to cause disturbances. The
undesirable roadblocks which caused by her are annoying the public . Rumours
that are spreading due to alien radio stations airing of her instigation have
intensified fears among the people for recurrence of 1988 events. Action
should be taken against her for tarnishing the government?s image and for
plotting to rebel against the government in accord with the penal code. If
such action is taken against her the British will surely come to legally
defend her according to consular rights. Thus, I, on behalf of members of the
Sangha and all nationalities, request the government of Myanmar to issue
deportation order on Mrs. Michael Viallancourt Aris as it has already been
known that she is a pure foreigner.
