What should be known about this situation is that:
- The military regime in Burma is one of the world's most repressive and abusive regimes.
- This regime was created since 1962 with the general Ne win.
- Even though in 1999 the International Committee of the Red Cross visited Myanmar’s jails, they kept with the bad medical attention to prisoners. People were dying from exhaustion.
- Council of State Peace and Development emitted 11 orders to prisoners’ treatment.
- There is not independent judiciary, so the same military government plays that roll.
- The people were killed by the army only because they weren’t useful for them.
- The Forced labor, human trafficking, child labor and sexual violence are common in the country too.
- To keep people out of knowledge, the military government of Myanmar restricts Internet access through software-based censorship that limits the material citizens can access on-line, because they don’t agree that society is informed, updated and even communicate with people from other countries, and that is the reason why we don’t know that much about their problem.
