Yangon, Myanmar +951 562439 Acknowledgement of Myanmar Development Research This edition of the “Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)” is the first published collection of facts and information of political parties which legally registered at the Union Election Commission since the pre-election period of Myanmar’s milestone 2010 election and the post-election period of the 2012 by-elections. This publication is also an important milestone for Myanmar Development Research (MDR) as it is the organization’s first project that was conducted directly in response to the needs of civil society and different stakeholders who have been putting efforts in the process of the political transition of Myanmar towards a peaceful and developed democratic society. We would like to thank our supporters who made this project possible and those who worked hard from the beginning to the end of publication and launching ceremony. In particular: (1) Heinrich B�ll Stiftung (Southeast Asia) for their support of the project and for providing funding to publish “Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)”. (2) Party leaders, the elected MPs, record keepers of the 56 parties in this book who lent their valuable time to contribute to the project, given the limited time frame and other challenges such as technical and communication problems. (3) The Chairperson of the Union Election Commission and all the members of the Commission for their advice and contributions.

  • Myanmar Situation Update (2 - 8 August 2021) Summary
    Myanmar Situation Update (2 - 8 August 2021) Summary As 8 August 2021 marked for Myanmar the 33rd anniversary of the 1988 pro-democracy uprising, a historic protest movement in which the cry for democracy of Myanmar’s people was heard around the world, activists around the country renewed calls to end military rule once and for all. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) picked Brunei’s second foreign minister, Erywan Yusof, as its special envoy to Myanmar. He has been tasked with opening dialogue between the military rulers and their opponents in an effort to halt the violence, and stated that he should be given full access to all parties in Myanmar. 413 Myanmar civil society organizations released a statement rejecting the special envoy and expressing deep disappointment with ASEAN and their lack of inclusive decision-making process. The junta has approved the appointment as reported by state-controlled media. Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations who is denounced by the junta, Kyaw Moe Tun said that an apparent threat had been made against him and that U.S. authorities had stepped up his security. Later, two Myanmar citizens were charged with one count of conspiracy to assault or violently attack him. If convicted, they can face a prison sentence of up to five years. Sources reported that conspirators accused of plotting an attack have military ties. Twenty-eight junta-backed political parties, including the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), on Wednesday released a joint statement that they would welcome the new elections the military junta says it will hold in the future.

    MoHS Statement on COVID-19 (12 March 2020, 8:00PM) (Link) (Unofficial translation by OCHA) 1. The Ministry of Health and Sports (MoHS) has been working on monitoring and preventive measures of the COVID-19, which has been spreading globally, at international entrances/gates, at public hospitals and among communities, as well as in cooperation with private hospitals. 2. In doing so, new Persons Under Investigation (PUI) have been found between 11 March 2020 (6:00PM) and 12 March 2020 (6:00PM), and treated and isolated at designated hospitals concerned. Nasal swab samples taken from them will be sent and tested at the National Health Laboratory (NHL) in Yangon. (See Table 1). 3. According to the laboratory results released by the NHL, four of the patients being treated in designated hospitals (from 11 March 2020, 6:00PM, to 12 March 2020, 6:00PM) tested negative for COVID-19. (See Table 2). 4. Nine PUIs under hospital quarantine (eight Myanmar citizens in South Okkalapa Mother and Children Hospital and one Myanmar citizen in Shwe Pann Taw Station Hospital in Aung Lan Township of Magway Region) also tested negative for COVID-19. 5. As of 12 March 2020, 6:00PM, 16 patients were being treated at designated hospitals. 6. The MoHS has been speeding up monitoring although there were no laboratory-confirmed cases as of 12 March 2020. The MoHS calls on people to exactly follow the MoHS health guidelines as the COVID-19 has been spreading in China and other 114 countries in the world, including neighboring countries, and as the WHO has declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic.

  • US DEPARTMENT of STATE Burma
    US DEPARTMENT OF STATE Burma: Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2004 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 28, 2005 Since 1962, Burma has been ruled by a succession of highly authoritarian military regimes dominated by the majority Burman ethnic group. In 1990, pro-democracy parties won more than 80 percent of the seats during generally free and fair parliamentary elections, but the junta refused to recognize the results. The current controlling military junta, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), is the country’s de facto government, with subordinate Peace and Development Councils ruling by decree at the division, state, city, township, ward, and village levels. On October 19, hardliners further consolidated their power by ousting former Prime Minister Khin Nyunt and appointing Soe Win. From May through July, the SPDC reconvened a National Convention (NC) as part of its purported “Road Map to Democracy.” The NC excluded the largest opposition party and did not allow free debate. The judiciary was not independent and was subject to military control. The Government reinforced its rule with a pervasive security apparatus. Until its dismantling in October, the Office of Chief Military Intelligence (OCMI) exercised control through surveillance, harassment of political activists, intimidation, arrest, detention, physical abuse, and restrictions on citizens’ contacts with foreigners. After October, the Government’s new Military Affairs Security (MAS) assumed a similar role, though apparently with less sweeping powers. The Government justified its security measures as necessary to maintain order and national unity. Members of the security forces committed numerous serious human rights abuses.
