Here’s the latest on Burma:
After reviewing the matter, neither the United States nor the European Union will lift their sanctions against Burma’s junta.
The Associated Press reports that Malaysia has “vowed to investigate a scathing report by U.S. lawmakers saying thousands of Myanmar refugees were handed over to human traffickers with some ending up working in Thai brothels.”
The AP also reports that Burma’s imprisoned activist/comedian “Tweezers” has taken ill.
Lastly, the AP reports that members of the National League for Democracy, the party of imprisoned Nobel Peace laureate and Prime Minister-elect Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, “will wait to see whether laws governing next year’s elections conform with democratic standards before deciding if they will contest the polls.”
