What a shame!

"Little word from U.S. on Nyi Nyi Aung, jailed in Burma"

After his arrest in September, the American was held for 17 days in a
dank Burmese jail and denied food, medical treatment, sleep and the
chance to speak with a U.S. government official. Even after he finally
met with a representative from the U.S. Embassy, the American was
transferred to solitary confinement in a cell for military dogs.
But the harsh treatment on what advocates say are trumped up charges
has barely merited a peep from the Obama administration.
Nyi Nyi Aung, a Montgomery Village, Md., resident and Burmese
democracy advocate who has traveled there often, appears to be
politically inconvenient for both the United States and the Burmese
military dictatorship at a moment when the two countries have taken
tentative steps toward engagement after years of stormy antagonism.
"It is shocking to me that an American citizen has been treated this
way and higher U.S. officials are silent on that," said Wa Wa Kyaw,
Nyi Nyi's fiancee and also a U.S. citizen and Maryland resident. "It
will let the generals think, 'We can do whatever we want, even torture
and inhumane treatment of a U.S. citizen,' because America wants to do
the engagement policy."
In one apparent concession to American sensitivities, the Burmese
government in October abruptly dropped charges of instigating unrest
in concert with pro-democracy groups. Instead, it accused Nyi Nyi of
purely criminal acts -- allegedly possessing a forged Burmese
identification document and failing to declare U.S. currency totaling
more than $2,000. His lawyers say he is innocent of both offenses;
they note that he appears to have been seized by authorities before he
even made it through customs, where he would have had to declare the
currency.
Officials at the Burmese Embassy in Washington did not respond to a
request for comment.
Burma, also known as Myanmar, is regarded as one of the world's most
oppressive nations, ruled by generals who have enriched themselves
while much of the country remains desperately poor. The National
League for Democracy, the party of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San
Suu Kyi, won a landslide electoral victory in 1990, but the military
leadership refused to accept it. Since then, she has been under house
arrest for most of the time, as have hundreds of her supporters.
The 40-year-old Nyi Nyi was one of the leading organizers of
demonstrations against the junta in 1988 and fled the country after a
violent crackdown, eventually settling in the United States as a
political refugee in 1993. He became a U.S. citizen in 2002 and earned
a college degree in computer science, but he also remained deeply
involved in Burmese democracy efforts.
Wa Wa said that her fiancee managed to often travel to Burma to visit
his family and work with the Burmese underground because his U.S.
passport is in his legal name, Kyaw Zaw Lwin. In his professional and
personal lives in the United States, he has used Nyi Nyi Aung -- an
amalgam of a childhood nickname and his father's first name -- and for
years the Burmese government never made the connection.
But last summer Nyi Nyi's profile was raised when he helped deliver a
petition to senior United Nations officials with 680,000 signatures
calling for the release of all political prisoners in Burma.
Wa Wa, who has lived with Nyi Nyi since 2005, also has secretly
traveled back to Burma even though she is a political refugee. "We
have taken the risk because we want to organize and train the new
generation for democracy and freedom," she said.
Nyi Nyi's mother and sister are serving prison sentences of five years
and 65 years, respectively, for their involvement in 2007 anti-
government demonstrations known as the "Saffron Revolution." Wa Wa
said that he tried to enter the country again in part to see his
ailing mother. But he appears to have been seized as soon as he landed
at the airport in September.
Nyi Nyi's treatment in prison has attracted worldwide attention, with
both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International issuing statements
on his case. Fifty-three members of the House of Representatives,
including House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard L. Berman (D-
Calif.), sent a letter last week to Senior Gen. Than Shwe calling for
Nyi Nyi's immediate release and return to the United States.
On Nov. 6, Sen. Barbara Milkulski (D-Md.) sent Wa Wa a letter saying
she had asked Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to condemn the
detention in the "strongest terms possible." But Clinton -- who over
the summer called for the release of another American, John Yettaw --
has been silent. Yettaw, who was tried for entering Aung San Suu Kyi's
compound, eventually was freed through the intervention of Sen. James
Webb (D-Va.), when he traveled to Burma and met with senior leaders in
August.
Sources also said that Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell did
not raise the case when he met with senior Burmese officials in a rare
high-level visit to Burma last month, though it has been raised at
lower levels. Jared Gensler, a Washington lawyer who is assisting Wa
Wa, said Westerners put on trial in Burma are usually treated well and
then deported, but Nyi Nyi appears to be the first American of Burmese
descent on trial, which might account for the rough treatment.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the department is
handling the case as it would for any American citizen. "Embassy
representatives have monitored his court appearances and been able to
talk with him in that setting," he said. "We continue to press the
Burmese government for ongoing consular access as required by the
Vienna Convention so that we can ensure that he is treated
appropriately."

Dear Myanmar Myo Chits, Patriots, and friend,
First I would like to thank ,spicpussy from <clitte...@yahoo.com> for
putting on, "Little word from U.S. on Nyi Nyi Aung, jailed in Burma"
By Glenn Kessler Washington Post Staff Writer. Thursday, December 24,
2009; A07.
How spicy is that pussy, I don't know, but she smells spicy alright. I
am sure it is a she, because she mentioned the inner part of female
species when she registered at yahoo.com.
My comment is nothing to do with this spiced pussy, it is this artical
that he mentioned.
Wa Wa in protecting and defending her lover or fiancee Nyi Nyi , as
she thinks fit, as she knows how. Why not, even Juliet took poison for
Romeo, in the end they both never recovered, they had to die. The
Priest who gave them poison was guilty with conscience . US cannot be
that Priest.
It’s a nice interview by Glenn Kessler with Wa Wa. Less Job for SPDC
to call Wa Wa as State witness.
I should call it a self confession, voluntary admission, by Wa Wa’s
own free will on behalf of her fiancee Nyi Nyi or as evidence against
her own fiancee. She know very well as US citizen whatever she said
will be used as evidence, even against herself.
If Wa Wa can gives such evidence voluntarily, what kind of
confessions or admission will Nyi Nyi give under duress, and so called
torture? What will come out, who will get hurt, how much he give
away, through his confessions ? Will he be rewarded later because
he is a fake US citizen, will he be rewarded later on his merit of
given away or sacrificing others , for his own conveniently.
This is all the proof that Myanmar authorities may have need in the
case against Nyi Nyi. For this authorities should treat him equally
as they treat other prisoners, whop breaks the law of the land.
Nyi Nyi must heav been watched for quiet sometimes by th authorities
in Myanmar , m” Kyo Shey Shey Ne Hlan Htaer ” may be.
If Wa Wa and Nyi Nyi have love Union of Myanmar half as much as they
love each other , they would not have met this fate.
Wa Wa Kyaw, Nyi Nyi's fiancee and also a U.S. citizen and Maryland
resident said, "It is shocking to me that an American citizen has
been treated this
way ".
Q. What can you expect from his fiancee? What about US treating
other citizens this way? Does not she know?
" and higher U.S. officials are silent on that,"
Q . Does she want US higher officials to go down low to her and her
fiancee who are the refugees in US , level and encourage all law
breakers, criminals? Does she wants a potion of poison from US for
her and her lover? The Priest (US) to be guilty of as well?
"It will let the generals think, 'We can do whatever we want, even
torture and inhumane treatment of a U.S. citizen,' because America
wants to do the engagement policy."
Q. If that is true, is it possible that the Generals may be copying
this bad habit from the US?
Is it possible that her fiancee is “ sabotaging ” the good
efforts of American and Myanmars who wants to do the engagement
policy?
Does Wa Wa know that the whole world knows that US thinks they
can do what they like in the world they can say what they like in the
world,, and act and behave what they like in the world because they
are Americans?. How inhumanly treated the Political Prisoners or
Prisoner of Conscience in GTM and all others military Prison around
the world under their tight control?
Does she know what she is talking about?
Q. Are all, the American Citizen above the law? Can they be above the
law because they are US American citizen ?
Nobody is above the law, that is some people say it proudly, they are
the one who are telling others about the rule of law. Will they break
the laws, will they encourage other to break the laws.? They might
help or assist within the law.
I like the comment of this Glenn Kessler Washington Post Staff
Writer , which he said,“ appears to be politically inconvenient for
both the United States and the Burmese military dictatorship at a
moment when the two countries have taken tentative steps toward
engagement after years of stormy antagonism.”
Glenn Kessler did not forget to mention what State Department
spokesman P.J. Crowley had said either, which is, "Embassy
representatives have monitored his court appearances and been able to
talk with him in that setting," he said. "We continue to press the
Burmese government for ongoing consular access as required by the
Vienna Convention so that we can ensure that he is treated
appropriately."
Former US President George W Bush already said , those political
prisoners US holding in US military prisons are not covered by the
Vienna Convention, they are not Prisoners of War (POW) because they
wear no military Uniform. So US can have any intercourse with them
as they like. Not to forget these unfortunate Political Prisoners
families have no right to visi5t them. They don’t even know where
they are being held, in South Pole or in North Pole. Let alone to have
met and check by their embassy representatives, or even the lawyers ,
not even by Human Right Watch or Amnesty International.
Q. Does Nyi Nyi or his fiancee Wa Wa know what is going on? Is it
possible what Wa Wa saying is, if Myanmar SPDC, wants US helps, If it
want good relationship with the US , SPDC must allow any US citizens
to rape Union of Myanmar and SPDC through her and her fiancee Nyi
Nye ?
One or two sheep out of the millions and sacrifice is negligible for
US. Even in Union of Myanmar, Mrs Aris is sacrificing 57 million and
reaping rewards from around the world. So she thinks what she is doing
is right all along. Does she care for the nation of Myanmar , does
she care for the people of Myanmar? She cares a damn ?
Regards,
Mogyothwar.
Nyi Nyi again attempted to remind the world that the devils
who never respect the law of the land are still misruling
and barbaric-treating the citizens of Burma.
What human rights have they respected in their entire misrules ?
None - so they are not humans .They are animals.
The West could do its beat to impose sanctions for them to leave
and face International Criminal Court for their crimes against humanity,
displacing a million of the population by ethnic cleansing drive and
other horrible crimes.
But the animals don't change and head devil
thug shwe is inching towards the same fate as his one-time god
arthuba ne win.
thug shwe's lee-soke, known long ago as LKG (Lee Kyike te Gwae)
is acting desperately with name Mrs mogyothwar / ma sando,
wearing " hta-paungs ".
(Hta-paung are new head gear for the devils, thug shwe and
his cronies, especially made for them by Mrs LKG with some
parts of ASSK's hta-mein. The devils sincerely hoping
that by wearing they could achieve supreme, above-the-reproach
status like ASSK.)
A few years ago there was a white American adult who was on the
internet from Tibet and screwing children, and had used a graphic
design aspect through Adobe Photoshop to hide his face but published
the photographs on a pedophile website.
Canada's "socialist" police, namely from Toronto had been working with
the team from Microsoft and Adobe to "uncover" his face, and there he
was! Caught red handed.
He's now in a Tibet prison. And a lot more lucky than that guy Gary
Glitter, who is now out and living in the UK again.
Just a little aside about Gary Glitter. He had a hit song in the
early 1970's called "Rock n' Roll" that was always played as a theme
song for children's rides at carnivals. His song has been banned
ever since his bust.
The American white guy? He's eating rice with rodent drops in it,
with cockroaches for flavour. In a Tibet prison.
Kind of makes the prison from "Midnight Express" look like a diner!
He had the ring,
he had the flat-
She felt his chin
and that was that!
BURMA SHAVE
He played the SAX
had no B.O.-
But his whiskers scratched
So she let him go.
BURMA-SHAVE
Harry the Eighth
Prince of Friskers
Lost 9 wives
but kept his whiskers
BURMA-SHAVE
Proper distance
to him was bunk
They pulled him out
of some guy's trunk!
BURMA SHAVE
Drinking drivers-
nothing worse;
They put the QUART
before the HEARSE
BURMA-SHAVE
well before ya-yin terrorists run, they planted land mines to harm
Myanmar brave tatmadaw. The problem was, it exploded many times when
innocents villagers come in.
However, ka-yin terrorist chief thr-da-ball said that we never harm
any innocents, any single innocent villagers.
hey -

FRIENDLY LAND MINES?????
Why these terrorists landed several times inside THAILAND? WHY?
sightseeing leasure travelling, do you reckon?
