Migrant ‘was chained to hospital bed’ thumbnail
Charlie Deeyu soon after he was discharged from hospital (HRDF)
Shackles were today removed from a severely injured Burmese migrant worker who had been chained to his hospital bed in central Thailand.
Charlie Deeyu was taken to hospital on 9 January with severe wounds to the abdomen and a broken femur. Weeks later, after being moved from a general hospital to a police hospital, Thai authorities controversially deemed that his illegal status in the country warranted chaining him to his hospital bed, despite the fact that his injuries rendered him immobile.
The Human Rights and Development Foundation (HRDF), a Thai NGO, told DVB that “the system has really let him down”. Deeyu had no legal papers on him, meaning that both his employers and the Thai labour ministry refused to cover the cost of his treatment.
The 28-year-old had incurred the injury at the construction site he worked at in Pathum Thani province. “A metal bar hit him and ruptured his intestines and broke a femur bone,” Andy Hall from HRDF told DVB.
On 20 January, weeks into his hospital stay, Deeyu’s work permit expired. Following his failure to pay medical fees, hospital staff informed the police that he was an “illegal”. HRDF believes this is against the Ministry of Public Health’s own regulations on the humanitarian treatment of all people, irrespective of their legal status.
“We also believe that the police should not have arrested him. We believe that both the hospital in Pathum Thani and the police were wrong to ensure that this guy ended up in the immigration detention centre”.
Following the 31 January payment date, police then transferred Deeyu to a detention centre for deportation back to Burma. HRDF then intervened, arguing that a person in his condition could not be deported and that his illegal status resulted from his injuries. The immigration department then agreed to transfer him to the Police General Hospital in Bangkok.
But under police custody at the hospital he was shackled to his bed. HRDF claims his treatment was in breach of Section 26 and 31 of the 2007 Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and order 1438/2552 of Thailand’s Central Administrative Court.
But following the intervention, Deeyu was today unshackled. “The chains were removed today just before 11 o’clock this morning by order of the office of the head of [Thai] immigration,” confirms Hall.
He added that the cost of his treatment will now be borne by the Thai immigration department, given that he is now in their custody awaiting deportation.
Deeyu’s employer was a subcontractor whom Hall confirms has since “disappeared”. According to Thai law, however, had Deeyu not been in immigration custody he would not be eligible for the employment protection program insurance scheme, thus making his employer liable to cover the nearly 80,000 Thai baht ($US2,600) expenses. He is also owed compensation from the employer for his injuries under the Workplace Compensation Act.
Having arrived at the Police General Hospital, doctors found that he had an undiagnosed broken femur.
For now Deeyu is technically still awaiting deportation from Thailand, despite having been physically unable to renew his work permit. Hall tells DVB however that, “We strongly expect that the Royal Thai Government will urgently renew his work permit, to restore his legal status, both on humanitarian grounds and on ethical and basic moral grounds. He hasn’t done anything wrong, so his work permit should be renewed and he should be able to go back and work in Thailand normally”.
Deeyu’s case follows one incident in Thailand and a second in Malaysia where officials have not adhered to their own laws to ensure humane treatment of Burmese migrant workers.
There are thought to be as many as two million migrant workers in Thailand, comprising some 5 percent of the work force. Only roughly 1.3 million are said to be legally in the country, but the case of Deeyu brings into question the worth of legal status in such circumstances.

Former Army General and current PrimeMinister U Thein Sein ( 66 ), who has been predicted by many representatives of the parliament as the man to assume the post of President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, was born on April
21, 1945.
His most important qualification has been described by these
representatives of the parliament as “his absolute loyalty to military
supremo Senior General Than Shwe.”
Having graduated from the Defence Services Academy ( DSA ) intake 9
in 1968, Thein Sein gradually went up rung after rung in the military
hierarchy becoming Colonel, General Staff Officer Grade ( 1 ) in 1991
under Than Shwe, who was at that time Commander-in-Chief ( Army ).
Later, Thein Sein was promoted to Brigadier-General. In this capacity
he continued to serve as General Staff Officer at the War Office.
In 1996, Thein Sein was promoted to the post of Commander of Triangle
Region Military Command in Eastern Shan State. In this capacity, he
remained up to 2001.
In the early months of 2001, Thein Sein was promoted as Adjutant
General at the War Office in Yangon.
Under Senior General Than Shwe’s blessings, Thein Sein was appointed
as Secretary ( 1 ) of the State Peace and Development Council ( SPDC )
on October 19, 2004. His rank too was pushed up to Lieutenant General.
Together with the high post of Secretary ( 1 ) of the SPDC, Thein
Sein still held the post of Adjutant General of Myanmar Defence
Services.
In his capacity as Secretary ( 1 ) of the SPDC, Lt-Gen Thein Sein was
given another important post as Chairman of the National Convention
Convening Commission when the National Convention resumed holding its
sessions on May 17, 2004 after its 8-year postponement from March 30,
1996 following the boycott staged by NLD.
Thein Sein was made Prime Minister on October 14, 2007, a few days
after the death of Prime Minister Soe Win.
On April 29, 2010, General Thein Sein retired from military service
and formed the military government’s proxy party namely the Union
Solidarity and Development Party ( USDP ) together with 27 other
ministers and deputy ministers, who also took off their military
uniforms to take part in politics.
Thein Sein successfully contested from a constituency in Nay Pyi Taw
on USDP ticket on November 7, 2010 elections.
The biggest handicap of Thein Sein is his heart disease. No one knows
how serious is his heart problem.

Burma Insight: 31 Jan 2011
Nay Pyi Taw, January 31 -- The First Pyithu Hluttaw ( House of Representatives ) and the First Amyotha Hluttaw ( House of Nationalities ) respectively began holding their first sessions under the sponsorship of the State Peace and Development Council ( SPDC ) at the newly constructed grand parliament building in Nay Pyi Taw at exactly 8:55 am this morning under heavy security.
Simultaneously at the same time this morning, the first sessions of the hluttaws of the 7 Regions and 7 States were held at the respective capitals of these states and regions.
In a phone interview with @@ yesterday evening, some representatives of the Pyithu Hluttaw, who asked not to be identified, gave an explanation that though Senior General Than Shwe and Vice-Senior General Maung Aye were not included either among the elected representatives or the military representatives, these two top men of the military junta still stand a good chance to be either the President or Vice-President of the Union.
These representatives pointed out a stipulation in the 2008 State Constitution, which provides that each of all three groups of representatives namely the group of representatives of the Pyithu Hluttaw, the group of representatives of the Amyotha Hluttaw and the group of military representatives could elect a Vice-President from among the hluttaw representatives or from among persons, who are neither elected hluttaw representatives nor nominated military representatives.
The elections of three vice-presidents will be done by Presidential Electoral College formed of the above-mentioned three groups of representatives when the Union Parliament convenes within 15 days after the holding of the first Pyithu Hluttaw.
Out of these three vice-presidents, one will be elected as President by vote at the first session of the Union Parliament ( that is combination of Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw ).
Strangely the military authorities have taken very tight security precautions all around the parliament building in Nay Pyi Taw. All local-based foreign correspondents were prohibited from attending the first session of the Pyithu Hluttaw as well as that of Amyotha Hluttaw.
In other words no local-based foreign correspondent was allowed to attend these sessions for getting news of the proceedings of the sessions.
So also diplomats from Yangon-based foreign embassies were not invited to observe the above-mentioned sessions.
Though local-based foreign correspondents tried to approach the parliament building, they were prevented from getting close to the parliament building by a cordon of police personnel.
Only a limited number of media persons from state-owned newspapers and state-owned TV were allowed to attend these sessions to cover the news of the sessions.
According to a high ranking official of the Ministry of Information, the news of the opening sessions of the Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw will broadcast at 6 pm ( MST ) this evening through the state-owned media.

Among these 11 members of this council are the President, the two Vice-Presidents and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Services.
In an exclusive interview after the today session, U Khin Maung Yi, representative of Pyithu Hluttaw from National Democratic Force Party, which is renegade party of the National League for Democracy ( NLD ) told @@ that some of the representatives from opposition parties were not satisfied with the election of the Speaker of the Pyithu Hluttaw.
The first session of the Union Parliament ( Pyidaungsu Hluttaw ), which is the combination of Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw, was held this afternoon at the parliament building, the TV further announced at 8 pm ( MST ) this evening.

Dear Friends,
Burma's military government will introduce a draft for men aged between 18 and 45, and women aged between 18 and 35 will be required to serve up to three years in the Burmese military or face a lengthy jail term. The legislation was enacted on 17 December 2010 and requires all fit adults to register with local authorities for the draft by saying that “Every citizen has the duty to undergo military training in accord with the provisions of the law and to serve in the Armed Forces to defend the Union.”
Burma has been under successive military dictatorship for more than 50 years and people are suffering tremendously. The military maintains an extensive network of security forces ready to arrest anyone suspected of holding or expressing anti-authoritarian opinions in Burma.
Laws have been established that criminalize freedom of thought, expression, association, assembly and movement, thus legitimizing these arbitrary arrests and continued to arbitrarily detain people across Burma.
The military maintained complete control over the legal system and remained unbound by any legislation or constitutional provision for a fair trial, due process of law or any other rights. Military government denies basic rights to due process of law, a fair and public trial in political cases.
Burma's economic crisis continues to deepen under military rules and people earn on a wage of around $1 a day. Unemployment is rising dramatically every month while prices of consumer goods are escalating out of control while living standards of many Burmese are declining rapidly.
One child in three under the age of five is already suffering from malnutrition, less than 50 per cent of children will complete five years of education according to UN reports. In Burma, people face complete lack of access to basic social services such as health services, and water sanitation.
Under the military generals, poverty has soared and corruption is growing. Burma spends less than $3 per person per year on health and education – well below the World Health Organization recommended level of $40 per person.
Children under the age of 18 are about 40% of Burma population but junta does not consider children’s development and welfare as a priority. Instead junta used almost half of the state budget spending for the arm leaving very little for the vital education and health care systems.
Decades of junta’s mismanagement of the economy has resulted in an appalling economic situation forcing the parents to rely on the contribution of their children working in order to feed their families. Since 1990, government expenditure on civilian education has dropped by 70 percent, and the most recent statistics indicate that spending on education is currently equivalent to less than 1% of the GDP.
According to World Bank figures, Burma’s military government spends only $0.28 per year for every child in a public school. The Burmese government spends seven times less on education than on the armed forces.
By analyzing above figures and statistics, Burma is leading seemingly towards the fail state. Ordinary people are hard hit and they are struggling to survive day to day lives under junta.
Burma is the agricultural country made up of with peasants and farmers up to 70% of the 60 million populations. But, successive military regimes ignore the plights of the farmers but exploit them.
Ruling junta cannot even provide enough electricity for the citizens for decades now even though having discovered the massive oil and gas reserves and exporting them to neighboring countries.
When released from house arrest, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi emphasis establishing the youths’ networks so as to communicate and connect locally as well as internationally. Following her guidance and leadership, there are several networks established inside and outside Burma cooperating in the areas of promoting civil society organizations, humanitarian assistance, education, poverty alleviation and health care system etc.
Junta becomes too fearful of the dynamic cooperation of the youths synchronizing movement inside and outside Burma. In order to divert the attention, junta publicized the mandatory military service draft which in itself is the very solid example of the militarization of the nation.
In that scenario, Burma does not need mandatory military service. It is unwise to practice and not necessary at present. Instead, peace should be restored, civil war should be ceased, and poverty should be alleviated.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDCs) call for all the citizens of Burma to say “NO” to the regime enacting mandatory military service draft in Burma.

" 2011-Hlutaw behind 5-curtains"
Attn;
All commarades & friends;
Excellence sir;
I would like to present the article-" 2011-Hlutaw behind 5-curtains.
" 2011-HLUTAW BEHIND 5-CURTAINS"
"HLUTAW" is very important political place on presentation,discussion,debating,negotiation,planning,decision & approvals of representatives of all national peoples for their countries & all national peoples in democratic countries but not for all national peoples & countries only ditactors.
In U Ne Win's era (1962 to 1988), representatives were elected by his single party-Burma Socialist Programme Party (BSPP) with centralization under single party ditactorship system and then,they had to attend to BSPP's Hlutaw for their profits according to
U Ne Win's instruction and so, all Burma's national peoples were more poor & poor and also Burma was Less Development Country(LDC) for 26.yrs but U Ne Win with his companions were more rich & rich as millionors .For example! U Ne Win was 7th,millionor.
After couping of SLORC on sept,18th,1988,Myanmar's Mashials & his companions(Peace groups,Bosses on dis-era) were more rich & rich but all Burma's national peoples were more poor & poor than U Ne Win's era.
Now,SPDC did Mashial's guidence national convenction with all Burma's national people's desires under military ditactorship system and then, forced to approve their military's salaved constitution with socalled refrendum in 2008 and then, forced to move Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi's NLD with democratic forces and then, did 2010-wicket election on 25% military-officers & the most representatives of Kyintphwint party and then,will force to do 2011-Hlutaw on 2008- military's salaved constitution with restricted hlutaw- acts & Laws and then, will force to controll & oppress 2011-hlutaw with their arm-forces under Bo Than Shwe's instruction and so,we can talk 2011-hlutaw as the silent table discussion behind 5-curtains(Socalled national convenction,2008-military's salaved constitution,2010-military's forced election without all Burma's national people's desires,2011-silent Hlutaw,Bo Than Shwe's single owned arm-forces).
Some representatives have free- talk their aims on all Burma's national people's desires for 2011-hlutaw on Jan,31st, 2011 but surely! Bo Than Shwe will force to do them as roborts between hoping & frighten on his magic.
