Rights Violations Continue under Thein Sein: Report

11 May 2012

Since President Thein Sein came to power there have been 415 cases of human rights violations, according to a report released by the Network for Human Rights Documentation—Burma (ND-Burma). Moon Nayli, a member of management board of the ND-Burma, said: “You get a picture of how serious the human rights conditions are in Burma right now, while the international community is applauding the Burmese government’s gestures toward changes.” HD-Burma warned that the report was not representative of all human rights violations in Burma as monitoring was hampered due to security concerns.
