Harbouring thieves is a criminal offence
Today, that country has become a safe haven,
a sanctuary, for not only expatriates and
runaway groups such as ABSDF, NCUB,
NCGUB, FTUB, DAB, DBSO and so on but
also terrorists, robbers and criminals like those
who forcibly seized the Myanmar Embassy in
Bangkok, plus hijackers and saboteurs.
As already pointed out in some articles, a top
Thai person once fled his country to Myanmar,
sleeking asylum here. Later the matter was
resolved with the Thai Government and he
returned to his homeland. In international law
there are provisions concerning asylum. In
stipulations concerning UN and its agencies
there are no provisions by their head offices
giving the right to the international
organizations to grant asylum. A nation may
grant political asylum to a person or a group of
persons when their lives are in danger.
In the matter of Myanmar expatriates starting
from the time of U Nu, it was not that they fled
the country because the Government was
about to arrest or kill them. They put
themselves in self-exile with the aim of
grabbing power. In 1980, the Government
invited those self-exiles and insurgents
proclaiming general amnesty. An official was
sent to U Nu who at that time lived in India and
asked him to return. Personnel were also sent
to, Thailand .come other self-exiles back to the
homeland. The media highlighted the reunion of
political colleagues in the country.
The Tatmadaw (Armed Forced) Government
has invited the armed group in the jungle to
return to the legal fold and take part in the
community welfare activities. Eventually, 17
armed groups, small groups and sub-groups
have returned to the legal fold. All were
warmly welcomed back with forgiveness in
amity. Necessary assistance was provided for
their accommodation and livelihood.
Successive Myanmar governments have
announced general amnesties and offered an
olive branch time and again to them for the
sake of establishing national reconsolidation
and national reconsolidation. This is the
sincere wish of Myanmar people. But after the
fall of the four-eight riots, students by hundreds
or thousands were pushed to the border areas
to become runaways, at the hands of so-called
democracy leaders. Some of them on reaching
the border realized their misdeeds and returned
to the embrace of their parents.
Some perished, some had their lives ruined,
some got sent to other countries to be put to
use.. After the assumption of the duties of
State, the Tatmadaw invited the students, who
had been misled, to return to their parents. The
State issued a directive to the State and
Division Law and Order Restoration Councils
on 11 October 1988.
The directive issued by the State said the boy
and girl students who were frightened into flight
were known to have reached the areas of KNU,
Mon and Kayinni insurgent groups along the
Myanmar-Thai border and most of them were
encountering abject conditions, that some were
said to have returned to their parents, that if
there were those who wished to return to their
parents or who had done so they were to be
looked matter was to be reported is the
different levels of the authorities, and that
arrangements were to be made to send them
back to their parents if their return took place in
their own States/Divisions or townships.
On 13 October that year, directives were
issued to open 27 reception camps. On 3
November 1988, the State also announced that
it had opened reception camps to receive the
students who had realized their misdeeds, to
extend help and to get them back to their
parents through the respective Township Peace
and Development Councils systematically,
that some of the students had got back to their
parents without reporting to the reception
camps and, in case both the student and his or
her parents were worried, the Township and
Ward Peace and Development Councils were
to immediately announce and call in them,
register them and educate them township-wise
so that they could live on in peace of mind.
The Government distributed leaflets with the
aim of getting students to return to the bosom
of their parents and to continue to pursue their
education peacefully. Leaflets were air-dropped
in the border areas. It was also broadcast by
Myanma Radio and Television. Bo Mya issued
an order that students who had arrived at KNU
camp, were to listen to BBC, not to MRTV.
Circulated were rumours that the military
government arrested students who had
returned to the bosom of their parents, at night
and bayoneted them to death.
Up to 7 March 1991, a total of 3,354 came
back. A reception camp was jointly opened by
two countries in Tak, Tak District, Thailand,
and students were brought back by plane.
When parents and their children met again in In
Yangon, all were in tears as if Paulckharavasa
rain was pouring down in torrents. During that
period, there were 50S youths who returned to
the legal fold after realizing their misdeeds, and
the number mounted up to 3,859. The number
of youths who were prevented from returning to
the legal fold due to intimidation of insurgents
and persuasion of the West bloc with the use
of dollars, was not small. Now, these poor
youths have become professional
destructionists, unruly terrorists and traitors to
the national cause.
In his speech made at the General Assembly
of the UN held in September 1999, Minister for
Foreign Affairs U Win Aung invited Myanma
youth students who have been abroad, to come
back to their own country and to rally round in
building a new nation with full goodwill, loving-
kindness and sympathy of parents. Much to
amazement, in the news broadcast by VOA
(American) in the evening of the day when the
speech was made, NCGUB, ABSDF and
others responded by turning down the invitation
of U Win Aung on that very same day. The
student youths with whom it was concerned,
did not have a chance to know the invitation of
U Win Aung, and in their stead, lackeys of
colonialists answered and rejected it.
All things considered, it can be said that no
one from Myanmar, which forgives her own
citizens with amnesty, peace, invitation and
offers, is in any mortal danger to justify being
given asylum in foreign countries. There are no
refugees who have been driven out of the
country. There may be insurgents under the
cloak of refugees.
As is known to all, Myanmar does not harbor
opposition groups, rebels and insurgents of any
countries. It does not accept any kind of
runaways and absconders out of the framework
of law including KMTs who fled from China and
Thai communists. Even if these runaways and
absconders made excuses that they resorted
to armed struggle line for the independence
and freedom of their country, democracy and
human right, Myanmar would not accept them.
There is no way to regard the raiding of the
embassy, the armed violence and the robbing
of documents and funds as the demand for
democracy. If every-terrorist who commits
violence, killing, looting, sabotage and
kidnapping all over the world today gives an
excuse, the situation will be difficult.
The NLD Gang of Ten is so bold and audacious
in sacrificing student youths and seeking self-
interests. They made arrangements in
cooperation with those from abroad to see to it
that the youths took a course of violence. After
that, they are pretending as if it were not them.
They make denials where they feel they
should. Then, they consoled them by patting
their backs. Once, there was a story. More
truly, it was during the colonial period. An
English officer went out for hunting. He was
accompanied by his follower Apana. Apana
shot an elephant, and the animal died. The
English officer arrived at that place, and said
with his thumb up, "I shot it, I shot it." Putting
one of his legs on the carcass of the elephant,
he posed for photos. While photos were being
taken, officials from the forest department
arrived at that place, and took action on the
charge of shooting the elephant of the forest
department. At that time, the English officer,
pointing his finger at Apana, said, "I did not
shoot it, he did it, he did it." Now, NLD is
ruthlessly using Myanmar youths, saying
alternatively that he shot it and I shot it, as it
suit them.
As to whether or not it is right or wrong to
regard terrorist and insurgent acts perpetrated
against Myanmar as the fight for democracy,
the answer can be known if the situation is
taken into account in accord with the
international law, the Venna Convention and
the UN Charter. According to Myanma law,
harboring thieves is a criminal offence.
