Regime's window-dressing job before eve of the ASEAN meeting in Thailand. Naypyidaw announced that Regime would free 6313 prisoners tomorrow on 21st February 2009. Perhaps numeric astrologer suggested senior general for his bad karma.
However, still do not know that how many political prisoners would be freed? Perhaps inclusiveness of single digit or double, but it wouldn't clear said Mizzima chief editor Soe Myint. Regime's seasonal window-dressing action seemed depressing for the inside political activists.
"After Saffron Revolution, arrested political prisoners percentage went up 45%," said key member of NLD last few days ago. No matter they release few, more arresting and more human rights violations are still going on, how UN and international community could convince the generals not to do? He questioned.
Now people only talked about election, regimed issued the game for all of us, and sadly few people raise the human rights violation issues. No wonder regime could abuse the people, lack of principle that would be hard to fight this evil regime, said a Burmese observer.
