  • The Impact of Drug Law Enforcement Practices in Myanmar
    DRUG POLICY BRIEFING | 47 | September 2016 ‘Found in the Dark’ The Impact of Drug Law Enforcement Practices in Myanmar By Ernestien Jensema and Nang Pann Ei Kham1 KEY POINTS • Myanmar2 has serious drug use problems, largely related to unsafe practices such as needle sharing by injecting heroin users. The country’s current approach to addressing drug-related problems focuses on repression, mainly by arresting and incarcerating drug users. This paper analyses the impact of drug law enforcement practices on drug users in Myanmar. It shows the failure of the current drug law enforcement system, with drug users and their families as the principal victims. • The criminalisation of drug use and possession for personal use is heavily impacting the lives of drug users and their families. It is cause for stigmatisation by the community they live in; it increases risky drug use behaviour, and is the basis for police harassment and corruption. • The vast majority of arrests made as a result of drug laws concern drug users and small dealer/users. Prisons are overcrowded with drug users sentenced to excessively long jail terms. Prisons and labour camps lack appropriate health care and do not provide for the basic needs of inmates. Very few large-scale traffickers are targeted for arrest or have been put in prison. • Female drug users, in particular, have received very little support to face their problems. Often abandoned by their families and communities, female drug users are in need of services targeting their specific needs. • Instead of a repressive approach, voluntary and evidence-based treatment and public health services, including harm reduction, should be made available to people who use drugs.

  • Scholarship 2015 Dr. Poe Poe – Self-Introduction
    7. April 2015 Scholarship 2015 Dr. Poe Poe – Self-introduction About me I am Poe Poe fromTaunggyi, Southern Part of Shan State, My- anmar and my parents are U Htun Myint and Daw Khin Win. I passed the matriculation examination with three distinctions from No. (4) Basic Education High School, Taunggyi in 2001. I studied at the University of Medicine - Magway from Central Burma re- gion for my Medical degree. I served my internship at Lashio General Hospital and Taunggyi Sao San Htun Hospital from January 2007 to December 2007. I received my Medical degree in March 2008. Perception To help people who are destitute and living in areas where it is difficult to seek health care. Myanmar is one of the developing countries and still needs to im- prove in economical, educational and health aspects. To fight for the lives of poor ones though we are in the middle of difficulties and there will always be a way to go forward. I would like to provide health care not only to my national people but also to the others around the world who are suffering from diseases by using my medical knowledge. I would like to give more support especially to those who are abandoned because of their infectious diseases like HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR TB). I have shared my knowledge with colleagues and will continue to do so. Medical experiences The very first experience was working in Delta areas with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) - Holland Myanmar mission in May 2008 as a volunteer in the Emergency re- sponse to Nargis Cyclone.

    KNU BULLETIN. No.4 APRIL 1986 1 PRESS RELEASE RPF CONDEMNS BURMESE UNION DAY MOOT The Burmese regime is preparing to observe the 39th Anniversary of Union Day on February 12,1986 with the aim of national unity. It follows from the Panlong Conference that was held on the 12th February, 1947 in Shan State,Burma under the leadership of Bogyoke Aung San. The Conference was committed to establish the country under the Federal system of government in which the rights of the minor­ ities are guaranted. The so called Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma today is collective­ ly inhabited and owned by the Kachins,Karennis,Karens,Chins,Poas,Palaungs, Was , Lahus,Mons,Shans,Burmese,Rohingyas and other nationals etc. Though Burma gained its independence in 1948,the successive rulers from Anti Facist Peoples Freedom League(AFPPL) to Burma Socialist Programme Party(BSPP) with their chauvinistic policies have been exercising reactionary political,economical,racial and milita- ry practices resulting in the pro government communal riots for over 36 years and the peoples of the whole country are writhing in agony,under the rigors and de­ vastations of the riots. At present, Ne Win - BSPP military government has plunged the civil war into deep mire by oppressing the masses of the people politically,exploiting them economically,subjugating and assimilating the indigenous races racially and at­ tacking them militarily. During the parliamentary democratic government rule Rohingyas established all their rights and prevlleges in the Burmese Assembly. The Rohingyas were able to send their representatives to both Upper and Lower Houses through election.
