Burma News (2.25.09)

Here are the Burma-related headlines for today:

  • In the U.S. State Department’s recent report that I mentioned in my Tibet news post today, the junta is taken to task for its “brutal” human rights record. The Agence France-Presse has more.
  • Reuters reports that a senior diplomat has told them that “the United States wants Southeast Asian states to press for reform, openness and political progress in Myanmar, while seeking views on a new approach toward the military-ruled country.”
  • Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) posts a video to his YouTube profile of his speech to the House of Representatives about the post-cyclone humanitarian crisis in Burma, in which he emphasizes emphasizing that “the inaction of the Burmese junta is unacceptable.”

  • The Guardian reports that three cases of self-immolation that occurred at Tiananmen Square today “may be linked to protests at start of Tibetan new year.”
  • New Zealand’s News 3 reports that “fifty Tibetan monks began a three-day long hunger strike in Dharmsala on Wednesday, part of an unofficial boycott of New Year festivities to mourn victims of a harsh crackdown on anti-government protests last year.”
  • National Public Radio reports on sweeping police action in Tibet to ferret out banned, “reactionary” in shops and markets, and make arrests.
  • The Associated Press brings us the news that the U.S. State Department has issued a new report accusing China of “stepping up ‘severe cultural and religious repression’ of minorities in Tibet and elswehere as well as increasing its detention and harassment of dissidents.”
