Summary	On 14 June 2008, on the way back to Rangoon from Chay Chaung village in Bogale Township in the Irrawaddy delta region, members of The Group That Buries The Dead were arrested by Military Affairs Security (MAS). Before their arrest, they had helped to gather and bury or cremate over 200 bodies in the Irrawaddy Delta area. The group was led by Aung Kyaw San and Dr Nay Win, both former political prisoners. Dr Nay Win has already spent 15 years in jail. At the time of arrest, Aung Kyaw San was publisher of the Tribune Journal. He has previously spent 6 years in jail. A number of young people were also arrested for participating in the group’s activities, including Dr Nay Win’s daughter Phyo Phyo Aung and fellow students and members of the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) Shein Yazar Tun, Lin Htet Naing aka Aung Thant Zin Oo, and Phone Pyeit Kywe. All of the students were involved in the protests at the time of the Saffron Revolution in September 2007, but went into hiding at the time of the crackdown on the monks. After Cyclone Nargis struck Burma, they came out of hiding to help gather dead bodies.

Summary	The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has obtained detailed information about the case of a monk in Burma who is being tried without evidence for insulting religion. The monk, U Sandadhika, went like other onlookers to the outside of the court where Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her co-defendants were being tried in August. Afterwards a group of unidentified men picked him up and took him into custody where they accused him of planning to immolate himself in protest. They have no evidence to back the charge and the only witnesses in the case, which is continuing, are police. The detainee has been forcibly disrobed and assaulted in custody, resulting in a hernia.

Summary	mainteThe abuse of land and property seizer serves a duel purpose for Burmese army units. First, having enacted a policy of “self reliance”, the SPDC encourages its units to gather any resources they can from area villagers, ostensibly to keep nance costs of their own unit down. Second, the seizer of the few resources villagers possess works towards the previously stated SPDC goal of undercutting village capacities to survive, thus denying insurgent groups opportunities to gather resources for themselves.

Summary	“My name is Ma S—S— and I live in Shwe Pyi Tha quarter in Rangoon. I have one brother and two younger sisters who live with my parents. My father works as a trader and my mother is a house wife. Before I came here I worked in a factory and was paid 10,000 kyat per month. However, that small amount of money is not enough to provide the financial support my family needs to survive. Therefore, I decided to quit my job and work as a waitress in the club. “While I was working in the Club, I met with Ko Myo Gyi (or) Ko Kyi Win from Waitonchaing village, Thanbyuzayat Township and I ended up marrying him. When I married him I did not know that he was working for a group involved in the sex industry. But I found out when I arrived at Thanbyuzayat Town, and was extremely shocked and tried to divorce him. But I had no one to turn to, and he had told me to open a small restaurant at Three Pagodas Pass. Therefore, I came to Three Pagodas Pass with him. Moreover, my husband also selected five women from Thanbyuzayat and brought them to work with us.

The broker told me that he had three women to travel together with me. In the early morning at about 4am, the broker came to pick me up at U Htaw Aung and Daw Cho’s house, where I had been staying for a short time while in Three Pagodas Pass. It turned out the group who was going to travel with me was all men. We traveled for two days on the bus but still did not arrive in Bangkok. Two days later, the broker said the situation wasn’t good and made us wait in the forest to see whether the situation would improve. The broker let us stay in a hut in the forest on the way to Kanchanaburi.

I agreed to pay 13,000 baht to get there, and that I would pay back the money when I had got a job. However when I arrived in Thailand, Ko Lay didn’t find a job for me as he had promised. Instead Ko Lay sold me to me to another trafficker, Ma Khin Hla (his sister in law) for 25,000 baht. Ma Khin Hla found a job for me at the Kawsamut Seafood factory in Maharchai. I had to work there until I repaid my entire loan. I lived with [Ma Khin Hla]. Ma Khin Hla kept all of my salary except for 400 baht, which she paid me once per month. It was an uncomfortable to live there and often didn’t have enough food.

Summary	“We worked at the seafood factory in Maharchai and we wanted to change jobs to work as domestic workers in Bangkok. Consequently we got in touch with a Karen broker, U Shwe Mi, who was in Tak Province and we asked for his help in finding jobs for us. Instead he asked his friend, a Thai broker, to find jobs for us. The Thai broker sent a taxi driver to pick us up, whereupon he drove us to a building in an isolated area. The Thai brokers and taxi drivers had formed a collaborative group. When we arrived, it was very silent and they were the only ones there. The group then gang raped us. I (Naw H—) tried to escape from them, but I could not and they began to beat me. After they raped us, we said to the broker that we had relatives in Bangkok and wanted to contact to them. Although he allowed us to contact our relatives, the broker told us that if we wanted to be set free we must pay 5,000 baht each.

Summary	This woman is from Thingangyun Township, Rangoon Division. After her father passed away, her mother found work in Myawaddy as a shopkeeper at a store. Her elder sister is working as a prostitute in Sangkhlaburi town, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. Ma N— D— lived with her relatives, but they couldn’t take any responsibility for her living expense, so her elder sister sent a broker back, Ma –P—P— from Thanbyuzayat town, to Rangoon to bring Ma N—D—to her. The older sister sent Ma P—P—to pick up Ma N—D— and take her to Three Pagodas Pass (TPP). However, the broker sold her to a brothel that was owned by U Sein Maung in quarter 4 in TPP. U Sein Maung sold her virginity to a Thai man on the Thai side of the border, for 30,000 thousand baht. But Ma N—D— didn’t want to do this and argued with Ma—P—P—. Luckily at that time she met a Taxi driver, Ko S—M—, who took her to the quarter #2 council office to make her case. U Myo Kyi, a chairman of TPP Township Peace and Development Council (TPDC), Daw Khin Pjoun Yee a chairwoman of Myanmar Women’s Affairs Federation (MWAF), the Myanmar Police Force (MPF) and the Village Peace and Development Council (VPDC) oversaw the proceedings in this case. TPP’s police contacted the police in Myawaddy to inform the girl’s mother to come take custody of her child. The TPDC gave 150,000 kyat to the child’s mother to cover transportation costs back home.
