  • Myanmar: Drop Defamation Cases Against Kachin Anti-War Protest Organizers Trial Against Three Protesters Continues Today
    Myanmar: Drop Defamation Cases Against Kachin Anti-War Protest Organizers Trial against three protesters continues today (YANGON, May 21, 2018)-The Government of Myanmar should immediately and unconditionally drop criminal defamation charges against three ethnic-Kachin human rights defenders, said the Kachin Women’s Association of Thailand (KWAT) and Fortify Rights today. The cross-examination of prosecution witnesses will begin in Myitkyina Township Court today. “It is not a crime to want the Burmese military to end attacks on innocent people,” said Moon Nay Li, General Secretary of KWAT. “All these activists did was speak the truth, and they’re facing years in prison because of it.” On May 8, Lieutenant Colonel Myo Min Oo from the Myanmar Army’s Northern Command filed criminal defamation complaints against Mr. Lum Zawng, 29, Ms. Nang Pu, 47, and Mr. Zau Jat, 41, for alleged statements made during a press conference and peaceful protest on April 30 and May 1 in Kachin State’s Myitkyina Township. On April 30, Lum Zawng, a Kachin lawyer, helped organize a press conference and allegedly called for the evacuation of civilians trapped in conflict areas due to fighting between the Burmese military and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), an armed ethnic group. On April 30 and May 1, more than 3,000 people attended a peaceful protest in Myitkyina Township that Lum Zawng, Nang Pu, and Zau Jat helped organize. During the protest, Nang Pu—a founding member of the Htoi Gender and Development Foundation, a Kachin community-based organization dedicated to women’s empowerment—allegedly accused the military of preventing the movement of civilians and killing civilians.

    "SOCIO – ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE INDAWGYI LAKE AREA, MOHNYIN TOWNSHIP” A Thesis Submitted to the Examination Committee of the International Master of Environmental Science Program University of Cologne In partial fulfilment of the requirements for The degree of Master of Environmental Science By Zin Mar Than September 2011 i Copyright by Zin Mar Than 2011 ii "SOCIO – ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE INDAWGYI LAKE AREA, MOHNYIN TOWNSHIP” By Zin Mar Than September 2011 Thesis supervised by Professor Frauke Kraas Professor Josef Nipper iii SUMMARY The Indawgyi lake area, located in the north-west of Myanmar is a wetland area and one of the largest freshwater reservoirs of the country. It is heritage to rich and manifold natural treasures in fauna and flora. It was declared a protected area as Bird Sanctuary in 1999. At the same time it is rather densely populated due to comparatively attractive living circumstances, supported, besides others, by the rich aquatic and bird life. However, only limited information about the present socio-economic situation of the inhabitants is available, due to poor administrative structures in the region and the lack of awareness from the central government, which is engaged to administrate other issues, which Myanmar has more than enough to counter. These facts and the growing importance of a sustainable development in today´s globalized environment have formed the concept for this study. The aim was to collect information about the present socio-economic situation of the Indawgyi lake area, necessary for a risk assessment. Besides literature studies at the Universities of Yangon, Myitkyina and Mohnyin Degree College, information was contributed from associates of the forest ministry and from the park wardens on site.
