 Press Release
 
 U.S. Crictism of Lack of Religious Freedom in Myanmar Unwarranted
 
 Myanmar May Be Regarded As a Model Society With Regard to Religious
 Tolerance
 
 The 1999 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom issued by the
 United States Department of State is inaccurate and misleading. If the
 section on Myanmar is any indication of the quality of research and analysis
 that went into the preparation of the report, it cannot be considered a
 serious piece of research. It is subjective and can in no way be regarded a
 reliable basis for evaluating religious freedom in Myanmar or elsewhere
 around the globe.
