The Rule of Law in its most basic form is the principle that no one is above the law. Other wards, no one can be abused by law. But SPDC Judge must follow the SPDC's punishment policy against oppositions, political and social activists. He is paid by the state and he must keep his job regardless of unfairness.
No surprise for sentencing six months in jail for the student leaders who raised the unfairness of the charges against them.
Regardless of regime's roadmap to democracy, regime is sticking military operation against its urban political crisis. Burma is a different case. Law must be abused and unfairness if necessary.
Law said; Judge or decision maker must be blind at the court, he or she should not see the both sides, he got to listen what both parties said. Defendant has a right to defend their fundamental rights.
This is a sad example for not only pro-democracy leaders and activists but a dream of national reconciliation. Regime could use the A-Z length of sentence for the pro-democracy leaders but they cannot kill the spirit of freedom.
"When Judiciary system turns a tool of the government authority, country and its citizens have no hope to survive." said a Burmese lawyer who lives in Burma.
Citizens' fundamental rights and hostility of SPDC must be protected by any means.
When law must not protect you and citizens, then you have to take your own law to protect yourself. Political, judicial and legislative abuse the rest, Burma political development seemed a cancer patient but we all have to think just pain killer medicines (statements/demands/denouncements/condemnations) are appropriate for the cause?
