abuses. 

In his preface in the book, H.E. Dr. Sein Win, Prime Minister of the NCGUB

"This yearbook is intended to methodically describe the abuses routinely
inflicted on large number of Burma's people. But there is nothing routine in
what each of the victims has suffered and for then, this book is a
remembrance." This book is dedicated to the countless citizens of Burma who
have sacrificed their homes, their freedom, and their live to lifting the veil
of terror that shrouds the truth in Burma today.
