【セミナー】わたしたちの社会の在り方を考える ～在日ビルマ難民とともに～
-----------------------------------------------------
主催：成蹊大学 サークル 人権学（ヒューマンライツスタディーズ）
協力：ビルマ市民フォーラム・在日ビルマ難民たすけあいの会
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
政治的、宗教的、人種的な違いなどの理由で、本人に
責任がないのにかかわらず、自国において迫害を受ける
ために、他国に逃れた人々を「難民」と呼びます。
日本にもビルマ（ミャンマー）から多くの難民が逃れて
きています。
しかし、昨年のビルマ人難民申請者979人のうち、
認定者は、わずか38人にとどまっています。わたしたちの
社会が、日本人だけの社会ではなく、もっと多くの人に
開かれた社会としてあることは出来ないのでしょうか。
皆様と一緒に考えてみたいと思います。

No Indications of Restoration of Democracy: US
No Indications of Restoration of Democracy: US
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By LALIT K JHA / WASHINGTON Tuesday, January 5, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The US State Department said on Monday that it has not seen any move from Burma's military government to restore democracy in the country.
“So far, we have not seen any meaningful steps by the regime to indicate it is putting in place measures that would lead to credible elections,” the State Department spokesman, Ian Kelly, said in response to a question on the latest statement from the Burmese leader.

Sen-Gen Than Shwe promised that an election would be held this year in a message on the occasion of the 62nd anniversary of the country’s independence.
“Burmese authorities have said they will hold elections in 2010, but have not yet announced an
election date or promulgated an election law,” Kelly said.
The Obama administration, Kelly said, will continue to take a measured approach to the 2010 elections until the US can assess the electoral conditions and determine whether opposition and ethnic groups will participate.
“Much of the opposition's leadership remains in prison, there is no space for political dissent or debate and no freedom of the press. We continue to urge the Burmese government to address these issues and to engage Aung San Suu Kyi and the democratic opposition, ethnic leaders and other stakeholders in a comprehensive dialogue on democratic reform,” Kelly said, adding that these would be first steps towards inclusive elections and a return to democracy.
Meanwhile, Sen. Jim Webb said: “As chairman of the Foreign Relations subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, this year, I will support all appropriate efforts to ensure that the election process is credible and transparent.”
Webb, who visited Burma last year, said: “I have expressed my view to the Burmese leadership that the United Nations or other international organizations could provide valuable election assistance, and thus enhance the integrity of the process.”
Webb is the only US leader ever to have met with Than Shwe and one of only a few people to have met with both Than Shwe and Nobel Laureate Suu Kyi.

Two Receive Death Sentence for Information Leak
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, January 7, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A former military officer and a foreign affairs official were sentenced to death and another foreign affairs official was sentenced to long-term imprisonment on Thursday in a special court of the Rangoon Northern District held in Insein Prison, according to Insein prison sources.
Win Naing Kyaw, a former personal staff officer assigned to the State Peace and Development Council’s Secretary-2, the late Lt-Gen Tin Oo, was sentenced to death under the State Emergency Act III for leaking military secrets to the exiled media.

Win Naing Kyaw also received a 20-year sentence for violation of the Electronic Act and holding illegal foreign currency. The Electronic Act prohibits sending information, photos or video damaging to the regime abroad via the Internet.
Thura Kyaw, aka Aung Aung, of the ministry of foreign affairs office was also sentenced to death under the state emergency act.
Pyan Sein of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a 15-year sentence for violation of the Electronic Act.
The three were arrested after information and photos about Gen Shwe Mann's trip to North Korea were leaked to exiled news media last year. The trip involved procuring military arms, tunnel building and other matters.
Dozens of officials in the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including Col Kyaw Kyaw Win, who was director general of the State Peace and Development Council, were also arrested, military sources said. The status of their cases is not known.
After the information leak, the junta made a significant reshuffle at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that affected more than 70 positions, including two directors, four deputy directors and eight assistant directors. It is not known if the reshuffle was directly a result of the information leak.
Yin Yin Oo, a sister of former deputy minister Kyaw Thu, who was the director of the ministry's influential political department, was transferred to Saudi Arabia to a counselor post.
