Burma plans compensation after bird flu outbreak - Clive Parker

Burma on Friday announced plans to help its battered poultry industry
recover from an outbreak of bird flu earlier this year that the government
says is now under control.

State-run The New Light of Myanmar reported that the Ministry of Livestock
and Fisheries would offer the 545 farms affected by the disease and
subsequent culling program new stocks of birds and poultry feed. The
Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department declined to give more
specific details on the plan, although it is understood that poultry feed
will be sold to those affected at lower prices, while the Livestock and
Fisheries Bank is likely to offer loans to farmers.

The Food and Agriculture Organization’s Rangoon office said that poultry
farmers may also be offered free land as part of the rehabilitation
program, but this could not be confirmed by the government.

The junta has reportedly been deciding a compensation package for more
than three months after the outbreak hit 13 townships in Mandalay and
Sagaing divisions in March, but has still not announced when the program
will go into effect.

Figures published in today’s news report provided the first conclusive
statistics on the toll since the outbreak was deemed officially over. It
said 342,000 chickens and 320,000 quail were culled in the aftermath, with
180,000 eggs and 1.3 tons of poultry feed also destroyed. According to
current market prices, this equates to a loss for the industry of 676.4
million kyat (US $512,448).

This does not, however, take into account the psychological damage done
now that consumers have become fearful of poultry products or the lost
opportunity for farmers to trade their produce from the beginning of the
outbreak on March 8 up to the date the government said it had been
contained, exactly a month later on April 8. During this period poultry
could not be transported freely around the country, while neighboring
countries, including Thailand, refused to import Burmese poultry products.

The free movement of poultry within Burma was largely resumed throughout
the country on May 1. Many farms are reportedly still unable to function
though, while the government maintains a ban on poultry farms within the
metropolitan Mandalay area.

Meanwhile, the FAO today confirmed that there had not been any new cases
of the disease, although it warned against complacency given Burma’s
relative lack of preparedness.

The organization this month began a one-year long program funded by AusAID
which aims to establish an improved awareness and detection of avian flu,
a prompt reporting system and build up the capacity of diagnostic
laboratories to the “minimum accepted level.”

“The laboratory facilities are
not good, we are striving to support these
laboratories,” said Tang Zhengping, the FAO’s chief representative in
Burma.

The country currently only has four labs that can test for bird flu, two
of which are in Rangoon and Mandalay. Burma’s two largest cities are also
the only places in the whole country with facilities to quarantine people
in the event of a human outbreak. No such cases have been reported in
Burma so far.

In addition to the FAO, Burma receives assistance to fight bird flu from
other bodies including the World Health Organization, the Japan
International Cooperation Agency and Thailand’s Department of Livestock
Development.

Burmese health officials—along with representatives of 18 other
countries—are also currently involved in a four-day workshop in Iowa in
the US aimed at improving diagnostic testing of avian flu.

Comedian Zarganar denied passport

Burma’s best-known comedian, Zarganar, has been refused a passport to
travel to Singapore for an “International Burma Studies Conference” at
National University of Singapore next month. Zarganar, 45, a
dentist-turned-comedian, told The Irrawaddy on Friday that the Ministry of
Home Affairs had refused his application for a passport although other
Burmese invited to the conference had had no trouble. The comedian—whose
name means tweezers—came to prominence in the 1980s for poking fun at the
then socialist regime. He was frequently banned from appearing in public
and was twice jailed for his political engagement.

The Singapore conference will bring together participants from many
fields, who will present papers on how communities have shaped images of
Burma’s past, present, and its possible futures.

80 percent of Akyab residents listening to foreign broadcasts

Akyab: 80 percent of townspeople in Akyab have been listening to four
foreign based radio broadcasts on a daily basis, said a well-known teacher
from Akyab.

"The numbers of radio audience have been increasing day by day in our
town, especially during UN official Gambari's visit to Burma.  I can tell
you 80 percent of townspeople are listening to radios," the teacher said.

A source said that everybody owns short-wave radios in Akyab, and it is in
style for Arakanese people with radios to listen to the news from such
broadcasts.

One Bangladeshi man said, "I saw all the people from near my sister's
house holding radios in their hands when I visited there.  When I got up
from my bed in the morning, the first thing I heard was radio broadcast,
such as the BBC or VOA."

There are four foreign based broadcasting services for Burmese people,
among them, the BBC Burmese section is the most popular among the people.

However, Burmese people are listening to all the broadcasting services -
also including the Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, and Democratic Voice
of Burma - everyday, sources say.

In Arakan, people listen to foreign based broadcasts everywhere, including
on ships, busses, and the ferries, a source reported.

Burma is a country without any freedom of the press and people are unable
to get real facts regarding domestic and international news from
Burmese-based media.  Thus, people have to listen to foreign based radio
programs to get real information regarding the current political situation
in Burma.

Rohingya refugee spat sparks repatriation uncertainty - Siddique Islam

The future of the repatriation program for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh
has become unclear after a row between the country’s refugee commissioner
and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Last week Shoyebur Rahman, Bangladesh’s refugee relief and repatriation
commissioner, accused UNHCR in Dhaka of delaying the repatriation of
Rohingya refugees from Burma.

“Many refugees want to go back to their homeland, but are unable to go due
to propaganda created by some UNHCR employees,” Shoyebur told reporters at
Cox’s Bazaar last Friday.

The Bangladesh government said the UN agency had spread false information
that the refugees could be threatened by the Burmese military if they
returned.

But UNHCR’s country representative in Bangladesh, Pia Prytz Phiri,
rejected the allegation and said the organisation could not force the
refugees to back to Burma.

“The mandate of the UNHCR is to facilitate only voluntary repatriation,”
she told Mizzima in Dhaka.

Many of the Rohingya refugees fled Burma to escape oppression at the hands
of the Burmese military. From November 1991 to June 1992, more than
250,800 Muslim Rohingyas from Arakan State were registered in Bangladesh.

Since July last year, more than 236,500 have been repatriated, but with
more refugees arriving in the Cox’s Bazaar camps of Kutupalong and
Nayapara, the number still in Bangladesh sits at about 21,290.

About 8750 of the refugees have been cleared for repatriation by the
Burmese government. The repatriation cases of 12,540 refugees are still
pending.

Living conditions in the camps are terrible with many of the refugees
housed in dilapidated shelters. Some inhabitants told Mizzima more than 10
people were forced to share tiny rooms and that conditions had worsened
since the start of the rainy season.

Eleven-year-old Taslima, a school student and refugee said, “When it
rains, we experience water inside our rooms. The floors get muddy. We
spend the whole night sleeplessly, putting plastic papers on our heads”.

Other refugees said abuse was rife in the camps but Bangladesh officials
deny this. They say claims of abuse are just examples of false propaganda.

UNHCR has expressed concern over the human rights situation of refugees in
the Cox’s Bazaar camps, saying the Rohingya were being deprived of
fundamental rights.

Restrictions on sex workers, bosses detained - Chan Mon

Restrictions have been imposed on sex workers in Burma with two bosses of
sex workers in Three Pagoda Pass Township due to be produced in court.

U San Yuu and Daw Win from TPP Township could face the court in
Kyarinseikkyi Town along with eight other people, including sex workers.

The two bosses were nabbed last month when the military government's
Maternal and Child Welfare Association (MCWA) pressured the authorities to
crackdown on sex workers and women working in bars and pubs.

"It is normal. I meet women shop keepers every where now. Some new bars
have also come up in our area leading to an increase in their numbers,"
said Ko Myit Wei a resident in Myaing Thar Yar quarter, Moulmein.

Last month, the MCWA checked some of the biggest bars and brothels in
Moulmein at night and fined some bosses and shop owners for using women as
keepers of their shop.

The Three Pagoda Pass border police cracked down on sex workers in the
town last month and barred them from their trade.

According to a source close to the authorities, the two bosses and some
amphetamine smugglers would be brought to Kyarinseikkyi court when senior
military officers move back to the interiors of Burma soon.

U San Yuu had about 10 sex workers in his shop and 30 worked in Daw Win's
shop. After the crackdown the sex workers who worked with the two bosses
lost their jobs.

Currently no brothel is in operation and sex workers in the town are
working under severe restrictions.

Indians face Burmese court for illegal logging - Mungpi

Twenty one Indians, including a six-year-old boy, will face Chin State’s
Tonzang township court on June 26 after being arrested by Burmese
officials for illegal logging.

The group was arrested near the Indo-Burma border on May 6 and were also
charged with illegally crossing an international boundary, a Tonzang
lawyer told Mizzima on condition of anonymity.

The lawyer said the Indians, most of whom were from Manipur, were arrested
and held in police custody after being caught logging with three trucks
near a village called Aisi in Tonzang.

According to local residents, Indian businessmen have developed a system
of bribery and illegal logging in the area. The arrest and trial of the
group comes in the wake of a fresh Burmese military crackdown on the
illegal timber trade.

Last week authorities in northern Shan state deported more than 400
Chinese who had been detained for unlawful logging.

Thai lawmaker says Myanmar should leave ASEAN - Daniel Ten Kate

The government should reverse course in its policy toward Myanmar and
consider supporting a proposal to suspend the rogue state’s membership in
ASEAN, acting senator Kraisak Choonhaven said yesterday.

“I believe the current government is not doing enough at all on Burma,”
said Kraisak, the lone Thai lawmaker represented on the ASEAN
Inter-parliamentary Myanmar Caucus, which called for the rogue state to be
brought before the United Nations Security Council after meeting this week
in Jakarta.

“ASEAN cannot properly function in any world forum because of Myanmar’s
human rights record,” he said in an interview. “Kicking it out of ASEAN or
suspending its membership would alleviate that obstacle.”

The senator’s comments follow strong statements this week from Malaysia,
which indicated that ASEAN may drop Myanmar from the 10-member Southeast
Asian bloc due to the country’s lack of progress implementing democratic
reforms. In the past year, the ruling military junta failed to inform
ASEAN countries that it was relocating its capital from Yangon to
Pyinmana, and snubbed Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar on a
visit in March to verify the country’s progress down the proverbial road
to democracy.

“The government has not seriously followed up on the Roadmap to Democracy,
which has now completely disappeared,” Kraisak said. “It’s time to look at
this realistically. It’s quite clear that Myanmar will not change its
ways.”

With the United States now pushing the UN Security Council to pressure
Myanmar into releasing opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, the internal
divisions within ASEAN on how to deal with its most intransigent member
are becoming more apparent. Compared to Malaysia, Thai officials have
stayed relatively quiet on the issue, choosing to stick with its so-called
“open-door” policy.

“We are still hoping that forward engagement is the right track as we
share a large border with Myanmar,” said Songphol Sukchan, a Foreign
Ministry spokesman, who also noted that Foreign Minister Khantathi
Suphamongkhon is scheduled to brief reporters today following the
Organization of the Islamic Conference meeting this week in Azerbaijan.

Critics have argued that Thailand’s increased economic relationship with
Myanmar since Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra came to power in 2001 has
undermined ASEAN efforts curb the regime’s human rights abuses and make it
more palatable to western trading partners. Thailand depends on Myanmar
for about a third of its natural gas supply, and state-owned electricity
company EGAT has reportedly started work on a hydroelectricity plant in
Myanmar that will be completed in five to six years.

Moreover, overall bilateral trade between the two countries jumped by
nearly 20 percent last year. Millions of dollars worth of timber, fish and
minerals cross the border every year, through both formal and informal
means.

“The Thais have been quiet so far [on Myanmar], but that is not surprising
given Thaksin’s ambiguity in his policy towards Myanmar,” said an ASEAN
diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Unfortunately ASEAN has no
consensus on this issue.”

Malaysia appears to be taking the vocal lead in condemning Myanmar because
it holds the rotating ASEAN presidency and pushed very hard for the
country’s inclusion in the group. The rationale to include Myanmar
centered around the geographical importance of having a stable buffer
between Southeast Asia and powerhouses India and China.

“Ten years later it doesn’t look like ASEAN made the right decision in
admitting Myanmar,” the diplomat said. “They are very self-reliant and
self-sufficient
our 10 years of engagement has not come to much.”

Thailand 'frustrated' with Myanmar, urges greater UN role

Bangkok: Thailand voiced frustration Friday at Myanmar's refusal to make
"concrete" reforms, and said the United Nations could take a greater role
in pressuring the junta to move toward democracy.

Foreign Minister Kantathi Suphamongkhon also told reporters that he
believed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations should maintain a
dialogue with the generals to promote change in the neighboring country.

"Now ASEAN shares the same feeling of frustration that the process in
Myanmar is very slow. We would like to see Myanmar (take) concrete actions
to move toward national reconciliation as soon as possible," he said.

"Thailand and ASEAN have a long-standing position to support the role of
the United Nations, which could take a greater role in pushing forward
democracy in Myanmar," he said.

Myanmar's military rulers snubbed an ASEAN envoy who went to Yangon in
March, and denied him access to detained opposition leader Aung San Suu
Kyi.

But in May, junta leader Senior General Than Shwe agreed to meet with UN
Under Secretary General Ibrahim Gambari, who was also allowed to see Aung
San Suu Kyi.

Just one week after that meeting, the junta ignored international calls
for Aung San Suu Kyi's release and extended her house arrest by another
year.

Nonetheless, Gambari on Thursday said the junta had indicated it might be
ready to re-open a dialogue with the world body.

Kantathi also said ASEAN should maintain a dialogue with the generals,
despite disappointment at the extension of the Nobel peace laureate's
detention.

The junta crushed pro-democracy demonstrations in 1988 and two years later
rejected the results of national elections won by the National League for
Democracy, headed by Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has spent 10 of the past 17 years in detention.

ASEAN comprises Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Monitoring human rights? Get a satellite - Peter N. Spotts

Above the most off-limits nations, satellites give a bird's-eye view of
suspected human rights violations.

Satellites can monitor volcanoes, map deforestation, and help sell real
estate. But can they document human-rights violations?

Already, high-altitude images of Zimbabwe's destruction of a settlement
has increased pressure on the government to curb its abuses. Now,
human-rights groups are focusing on Darfur, Chad, and Burma. In eastern
Burma, for example, the government is accused of aggressively attacking an
ethnic minority.

Burma "is a black hole," says Jeremy Woodrum of the US Campaign for Burma.
"Media and aid agencies can go into Darfur in Sudan, but they can't get
into eastern Burma; it's totally off limits."

Even in such closed countries, satellites can detect military destruction,
the movement of refugees, even their living conditions. They may be able
to show the scale of government rebuilding and whether some groups are
benefiting more than others.

The idea of using satellites has intrigued activists for several years,
notes Ariela Blätter, director of conflict prevention and response for
Amnesty International USA. Some organizations have used commercial
satellite images on rare occasions, she adds. "But this new, unimpeachable
technology has such a huge price tag" that the community has been slow to
adopt it.

A foundation grant and technical help from the American Association for
the Advancement of Science in Washington could speed its use. The effort
has been under way since this past December, when the MacArthur Foundation
handed the AAAS a $110,000 check to help human rights groups use
commercial satellite images to document abuses.

The first results appeared May 31, when the AAAS and Amnesty International
released before-and-after photos of Porta Farm, a settlement the
Zimbabwean government destroyed last June.

The 16-year-old settlement had boasted schools, a children's center, and a
mosque, according to Amnesty International's Kolawole Olaniyan. It was
home to between 6,000 and 10,000 mostly poor Zimbabweans. The new photos
showed the entire settlement destroyed and abandoned. United Nations
monitors noted that during the demolition several people, including two
children, were killed. The government reportedly is trying to build new
homes for the more than 700,000 displaced nationwide by last June's
operation, but aid workers say the number of new houses is extremely small
compared with the large number of displaced Zimbabweans waiting for
shelter, land, and jobs.

The satellite images, taken in June 2002 and again this past April,
offered key graphic evidence of what had happened. They "epitomize the
apex of a man-made disaster, and they can be of a phenomenal impact in
redressing such absurdities, now and in the future," noted Zimbabwe
human-rights attorney Otto Saki in a statement May 31. He and colleagues
with the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights in Harare say the images could
be valuable in a case they are bringing against government officials
accused of masterminding and carrying out the operation.

In Burma (also called Myanmar), satellite images could also help clinch
the case that human rights groups have been building based on refugee
accounts, says Mr. Woodrum. His group hopes to present its images to
representatives of several countries that have relations with Burma. "They
have no idea" how serious the situation is, he says.

Last week, the satellite effort drew special mention in the government-run
Burmese press. It charged that the cofounder of Woodrum's group, Burmese
expatriate and former government prisoner Aung Din, is a "terrorist" in
his efforts to "fabricate [an] ethnic cleansing issue against [the]
Myanmar government."

So far, much of the AAAS's efforts have focused on documenting past
abuses, using archived images that a pair of companies are making
available for free, says Lars Bromley, with the science organization's
office of international initiatives. The ultimate goal is to develop an
early-warning capability that allows groups to focus the public eye on
relatively small-scale abuses before they become large-scale crises, he
adds.

In one case, groups in India have asked him to track the construction of
healthcare facilities there, he says. Statistical tests applied to the
data, Mr. Bromley says, can indicate the likelihood that government
officials are giving preference to certain classes or certain economic or
ethnic groups when they site new clinics.

Such efforts aren't cheap, he notes. The computer equipment and software
needed to process the images cost around $10,000 per workstation, putting
it out of reach of many human rights groups.

Still, several human-rights activists are enthusiastic about the prospects
for adding eyes on orbit to their expanding arsenal of high-tech and
low-tech tools.

Amid the newest "targets" for gathering orbital evidence: eastern Chad.
Amnesty International released a major report Tuesday on human rights
abuses in the conflict there and is collecting satellite photos to bolster
its case.

Forum aims to give peace a chance - Eva Salinas

Thousands of delegates to spend five days in Vancouver discussing global
challenges


Vancouver:  At six years old, Charm Tong became a refugee, fleeing civil
war from her home in the Shan state of Burma, now Myanmar.

At 17, she addressed the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on the
country's deteriorating state, and this week, at 25, she arrived in
Vancouver to give a voice to the hundreds of Shan women who have been
raped and expelled from their homes.

More than 3,000 delegates from 97 countries will spend the next five days
trying to convince the world of the urgency of the fight for peace, as the
World Peace Forum kicks off today.

It begins just as the World Urban Forum wraps up, preventing a moment's
pause in the discussion of some of the biggest challenges facing the world
-- rapid urbanization, sustainable living, health epidemics and war.

At least 12,000 people have been drawn to the two conferences, packing
hotels and turning the city into a gathering place of innovative thinkers,
passionate human-rights advocates and socially conscious artists.

"We are really bringing together the entire human family," said Al Marder,
president of the International Association of Peace Messenger Cities, who
has arrived from New Haven, Conn., for the forum. "This is the largest
peace front the world has ever seen but it's not enough."

Hundreds of young people -- most in their late teens or early 20s -- are
expected to prepare for action this weekend at the University of British
Columbia, where most of the forum takes place.

Ms. Tong will inspire the group, as members examine the roles of global
institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

They will play a trading game put on by Oxfam, learn about prisoners of
conscience from Amnesty International and see examples of young people in
Latin American who have contributed to their communities.

"There is no way to build an effective peace movement without having young
people involved," said Whitney Larsen, 22, who is organizing the forum's
youth program on Sunday.

Ms. Larsen has grown up far from the conflict in Myanmar, but shares with
Ms. Tong a belief that she can contribute to the peace process.

"We have to educate our peers and take a leadership role to show that we
are capable of having a voice in politics and in our community," she said.

Members of the Asian and aboriginal communities will add their voice this
evening at the opening ceremonies at the Orpheum Theatre.

Full-day programs will be devoted next week to the challenges facing those
communities, at home and globally.

Hinting at the full range of the forum's agenda, Mr. Marder called for an
end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the excesses of U.S. military
spending ($1-trillion), and to human-rights abuses around the globe.

The forum will also focus on the role of the United Nations, Canadian
policy in Afghanistan and the abolition of nuclear power.

In fact, it appears that no topic relating to conflict will be left
untouched -- from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the possible creation
of national departments of peace around the world.

The daily program requires registration, and although the cost is upwards
of $200 for the whole week, public-relations officer Melanie Thompson said
subsidies will allow for anyone interested to attend.

The forum's arts program, which includes documentaries, concerts and
photography exhibits, is free, save for a fundraising concert tomorrow
night with singer Buffy Sainte-Marie.

And a decade-old tradition in Vancouver continues tomorrow, when thousands
are expected to march for peace starting at noon at Seaforth Peace Flame
Park.

Press watchdog urges Myanmar to free pro-democracy activists

Bangkok: Media rights group Reporters Without Borders on Friday urged
military-run Myanmar to free four activists who were jailed for publishing
pro-democracy poetry.

The four activists included a member of detained democracy icon Aung San
Suu Kyi's opposition National League for Democracy (NLD), the Paris-based
media watchdog said in a statement.

"Reporters Without Borders and Burma Media Association voiced disgust at
the sentencing of four young pro-democracy activists to prison terms of
between seven and 19 years for publishing poetry and called for their
release," it said.

The activists were accused of publishing a book of "anti-government"
poems, the statement said, adding two activists were also accused of
working with "illegal organisations".

The four, who received jail terms earlier in the month, were NLD member
Aung Than, university student Zeya Aung, Maung Maung Oo and Sein Hlaing.

The media watchdog has called Myanmar a "paradise for censors" and listed
the military-ruled nation as one of the world's most restrictive for press
freedoms.

Last month the junta extended Aung San Suu Kyi's house arrest for another
year, defying international calls for her freedom.

The 61-year-old opposition leader has spent 10 of the past 17 years in
detention at her lakeside home in Yangon.
