Description: "ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Burma continues to be under a reign of terror imposed by the ruling military junta. The situation is aggravated by the lack of rule of law in the country. When a general uprising for reforms started in Burma on August 8, 1988, the military violently crushed the democracy movement. After staging a coup, the generals imposed military rule in Burma in the name of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). SLORC promised to hold multiparty democratic elections and to hand over the state power to the election’s winning party. When elections were held on May 27, 1990, the National League for Democracy won by a landslide garnering more than 82 percent of the seats. The generals, however, ignored the wishes of the people and refused to acknowledge the election results. Power has yet to be transferred to the people. In 1993, SLORC convened the so-called National Convention. It invited a few elected representatives and stacked its convention with an overwhelming majority of its hand-picked delegates. The sham Convention was to draft a constitution preferred by the military -- one which would prolong the military dictatorship in Burma. Today, the constitution drafting process is still going on and no fixed timetable has been announced as to when that process is due to finish. Since there is no constitution in the country, the SLORC is taking all liberties with regard to constitutional and legislative matters, and has been acting as an entity above the law. Thus, it has been acting as the sole maker of the law and has hijacked the entire judicial system. Law courts have lost their right to uphold the law or to be independent in making decisions. Since SLORC has a monopoly over legislative, administrative and judicial powers, no one dares to criticize the injustices being committed by the SLORC. Today, an untold number of human rights violations by the SLORC are taking place all over the country and in many different ways. Using various excuses, the SLORC has been threatening and harassing people who refused to tow its line. People who criticize the military are jailed under trumped-up charges. Students, monks, politicians and other activists advocating democracy and human rights are illegally detained, tortured, and given long prison terms. Torture and inhumane treatment of political prisoners have become routine practice for SLORC..."
