1) In the Burmese Newspaper "KYE MON" (The Mirror)published an
article<br>
on 25.9.99 the caption "Famous Liars of the World" appeared
above a<br>
picture of KHIN NYUNT which infuriated the man. The Military<br>
Intelligence was hot on the heels of the staff of the paper.
Arrests<br>
and interrogations followed. It was reported that U Hla Han (in his<br>
fifties) died two days later (27 September 99). He was tortured to<br>
death.<br>
<br>
2) Another member of the staff, U Thar Win died on the 2nd October. He
was<br>
also tortured to death. His body was cremated the next day. The
family<br>
was informed of his death by a military intelligence officer and
was<br>
taken to see the casket before the cremation. They had a glimpse of
the<br>
face only. It was badly bruised. They were given Kyats 10,000/ to<br>
perform Buddhist burial rites which takes place customarily a week
after<br>
death. This K 10,000/- equates to US$ 27, the exchange rate in the<br>
market being Kyat360 to one US dollar. With the loss of the bread<br>
winner - what compensation!!!<br>
<br>
3) The families of U Hla Han and U Thar Win have been forbidden to
speak<br>
about this to anyone.<br>
<br>
4) The other members of the staff at this publishing house came to know
of<br>
the death of their colleagues only on the 1st of October which
caused<br>
anger and resentment.<br>
<br>
5) Interrogation and investigation continues to date. 20 of those
arrested<br>
have been released while 7 remain in custody. Fortunately or<br>
unfortunately, death has brought release from further sufferings
and<br>
troubles to 2. How many more will suffer torture and death? This is
the<br>
latest news from inside the country where 45 million are held as<br>
hostages.<br>

Can someone give more details on it? Perhaps OKKAR(s) can deny it
or confirm it??<br>
<br>
By the way Julian, why do you usually post your personal emails to the
BurmaNet? I know I've done it but it was on purpose. I'm just
curious.<br>
<br>
PS: Let me know if you need help improving your German
Julian. I can proof-read it for you before you post to
public. Burmese is my native & German is my second!
=-) English - my third. Learned a little Dutch in
school....<br>

Hi Moe,<br>
<br>
Two friends of mine yesterday told me they had read an article about
a<br>
journalist of the NLOM being "killed" or "tortured"
over making a<br>
mistake in the paper, calling some big wig a liar. Wrong text at
the<br>
wrong foto, or something. I missed this at scb or Burmanet (maybe I<br>
just did not cath it.) Story familiar to you?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
