A Compilation of Burma Army Activities Since 12 January 2012
As we continue relief missions in Burma we also are monitoring the situation as regards to the different stages of ceasefire negotiations and the situation the ground. There have been good reforms including the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and permission for her National League for Democracy to contest by-elections on 1 April 2012, freeing of some political prisoners and some relaxation in media censorship. However, Burma Army attacks, human rights abuses and troop movements continue in ethnic areas.
