10:36 pm
a large part of my adult life there. lot of friends and colleagues loved ones still they're still taking risks co paddling. all right, well, we have a whole show up to the other products as well, waiting. welcome to the stream. will you produce yourself? try international audience. go ahead and thank you. my name is raymond, and i'm a human right. like to this, i have been advocating for human rights and democracy in them for over 10 years. so it's, you know, naturally is a hard work, but since that's a february, really be very devastating time and heartbreaking time. all of us. good to have you . hello. say welcome to the stream, introduce yourself to our international audience. hi, for me. my name is ben. i am a journalist space in europe. i was born and raised in young going myanmar. but i've been living, i'm abroad for many years. i still go back home very often,
10:37 pm
but now i don't know when will be the next time i'll see my loved ones or be able to visit again. so audience watching on each of you have seen, i guess, you know where they're from. if you have a question for them particular about what is happening me, i'm all right now, you can jump on to the chief comment section. your comment, your question, i would do my best included in the show. i have to also tell you that you may, will be seeing images of torture, of people who have been killed if it's a very difficult topic. it's a tragic topic. i need to tell you this because you don't want to watch it right now. you can walk away from the screen, but i really want you to stay. let me tell you about my van try and remember at the beginning of the show, i think it's huge street protests. we were watching these brave protesters taking on military taking on the police and then what happened to them have a listen, have a look in response to
10:38 pm
a much more persistent and increasingly violent part democracy uprising. the burmese military compared to the past has intensified, is cut down against the opposition. besides shooting and arresting protesters and activists, it has also resorted to conducting area bombing and burning of whole villages. so in order to hide these kinds of math track down, the military has turned through familiar strategies such as censoring, independent media, prosecuting and arresting journalist and banning social media access across the country. i if he wants to get a really good idea of what is happening to people who i've protested or still trying to protest, what would you share with us? well, it's a difficult question because there are so many different situations. i know so little is known by a lot of people who have been arrested. so for some of the protesters who have been
10:39 pm
detained to being taken into custody. some of them we know, had charges brought against the mostly under this very broad little leg written 5 o 5 law, which part of the penal code, it's not been amended to be even more broad, to can be applied to almost anyone who's doing anything that scene is encouraging disobedience in the, in the governmental, the military which has been very broadly applied to many people, the many that have been arrested and we've just had nothing from them. the several, the others in hiding there are people also still organizing small flash protests still coming out on the street taking risks. so there's all sorts of things also to different situations. i think when it will know a lot more about what's going on currently with especially some of the people who've been detained and but the, like i said, information is limited. so once people are taken away,
10:40 pm
it's difficult to find out more waning. go ahead. i think, yes, i think, you know, one people are arrested. the problem is they are being held incommunicado. families don't know where they're being held on what the condition is. and there are a lot of reports about people being torture in detention center. and sometimes, you know, i spoke to one mother a couple of months ago and she said she would prefer you have her son in prison rather than getting the body back because that's the reality. sometimes they are sending their body back rather than putting people in prison. so i mean, people are living on the harsh reality. you know, the trials are happening, but the trials may inside and out of the public, new families can attend and also under military to pay to ship childs
10:41 pm
a just will now a p. and we know that all of you know, almost all of them will be sentenced and politically motivated charges at the numbers of the rest. keep you know, growing every day and people are really courageous because still protesters are coming out in the flesh or creative. so people are still resisting against the crew, then i see, you know, they want to want to add well, i guess, you know, i think one of the things perhaps that i just want to explain it a bit more when wayne and just now says, you know, people that just really worried, and they would rather have their loved ones in prison because what's been happening over the past 4 and a half months is that there has been a lot of cases where people were arrested. you know, the night before. and then the next day their families got a call to say, oh your, your father, your, your son, your daughter just died from a heart attack. all you know from, you know, they will give spurious reasons and then they'll just come back in a body bag. you know, so, so,
10:42 pm
and then of course the bodies will be bearing signs of torture. because this is a situation where we're talking about. yeah, i think, and i think it's important. remember that the emma, you know, is a country that was under a military dictatorship for nearly half a century. and it only opened up literally just a decade regard. and in fact, a civilian government. turco got only 5 years ago. now this opening wasn't perfect, but it was something and a gave people in myanmar, the kind of freedom that they hadn't known for decades. and now in just 4 and a half months, the hunter has dragged the country back by decades, and people are now living in constant fear of the military. so you know, that the fact that people are still protesting, like, you know, when in said, it's just amazing. the carriage is just, it's, it's, it's, you know, astounding. but it's also extremely worrying because the military violence from the military has not laptop impact the has actually worse. and i want to go to
10:43 pm
a crypt from me a more data fair. one of the things, the alley and the one 0, one east team did was they were using video from pro testers for families who are getting the bodies back of loved ones and finding that they've been taught yet. they was showing this video and they were consequences for them staying. what had actually happened. have a listen, have a look. those who contradict the official narrative, a threatened on state media channels, as was the case involving zone me at lyn another and it'll be official. authorities claim he jumped off his building while trying to escape arrest, but his family say his body showed signs of torture. no longer a clue who i'm in. my home and i that amy, john. hey, i need a need to know if you to attend the super john who was here knows all the tools, you know,
10:44 pm
those are going to be t o r a g a. some marks a day to day as you like them. i mean, you really deep into the instrument of terror, which is the military in the mall and you spoke to former members of the military. what did they tell you? what did you get from speaking to them? and they had a lot of insights to offer. i mean, what we really wanted to do is as a, as the others have mentioned, there are so many rumors, so much fear growing. and what we want to do is really up to the question of what was happening to people when they were being detained. and you know, where would they being taken? what was happening these, these room as a torture? these people who are turning up dead the next day. you know, we wanted to see what the reality was in that particular case or me at lynn as well . there was a lot of conflicting information and some forensic experts had said that, you know,
10:45 pm
some of the injuries could have actually been caused by decomposition. so we really wanted to actually find detail information about what's going on. and of course, as well as doing video analysis forensic analysis, we also had to speak to people who really understand how the machine of the military works. i mean, the factors were really able to offer that they were able to talk about the security set up. they were able to talk about the, the way that the intelligence units work within the military, who's ordering them there, of course, police and military, both involved in a lot of the arrests. a lot of the beatings, a lot of the detainment that happening. and it hadn't been clear necessarily where the orders were coming from and how much of it was, or just organically happening from people in the grind. and that was the kind of insight that they were able to give us. they were able to explain that everything
10:46 pm
was really coming under the command of the site, which is this, the chief of military security, the office of the chief of the military security. they all the really, almost all of the arrests the warrants that we're seeing that because obviously these, these are ref, numbers are still creeping up. you know, memo, may have fallen from the headlines, but we're seeing thousands of people still arrested. we think there are almost 2000 warrant for people who are in hiding and those warrants are coming from this office of military security. so they are really behind that even if there are police and others involved. and that was what was very interesting to, to find out a bit more about that from people who really knew the inside workings of the machine. waning. i want to play this to you because it's from somebody who really feels like they understand the psyche of the military, how they work and how they operate. i went to places to you knowing that your
10:47 pm
father was arrested in february. so this is a personal thing for you, not just looking after many people been arrested, but you have a family connection. have a watch of this video and then come and meet of the back of it. when we look at the military itself, be our bill with the fear. so the soldier obedient, just because the a feel for the do the, the family or in the life they have nothing but just what that, that was the main they, and in the revolution our judy is to fight back the candor because our future is bigger than that situation at the middle and free is using everything they have, especially as the violet to instill fear in people and they're trying to don't people from speaking out. and of course, in the beginning they arrested politicians and fees and government officials and
10:48 pm
some activists like my dad because they thought they would be able to stop a protest from happening. but what we've seen is the biggest protest in 30 years. i mean, even on state tv, the military went on to say, if you go out and protest, we going to shoot you in the head and the back. but it didn't stop people from coming out onto the street and protest because we know that we can go back to the doctor always, and we can live and i know the military dictatorship that, that's very clear. and of course, you know, soldiers, military, general, some of them will be very wealthy, but you know, normal soldiers, they don't have anything. this is there. and this is the best way to get education in the country as well, if you come from small villages. and so this is the institution build on korea and so, but we hope that we will win the revolution, although is a very long journey and it's been a full month and we keep saying people being killed in the rest. so it's getting
10:49 pm
harder and harder for everyone, and people who are involved in civil disobedience movements over 4 months now they have no income, they're living on the edge of poverty. and humanitarian crisis is worsening in the country. so the situation is getting was it's heartbreaking. i'm going to go to youtube because of our, i would like to speak to you cast as well. this is a broad, broad. i'm going to put this one to you. fin, clearly protesting me, and i can only go so far. what other options to the people have available to get their point or their pain across then? well, i think one of the things that we've already, you know, we off seeing now is that people are taking matter into their own hands. so you've now got all these, you know, local militias, pete, what they call people's defense forces that are being formed all across the country . and they are now, you know, they're now responding to military violence with their own home make
10:50 pm
guns. and there's been multiple incidents over the last few days of fighting in many areas. and also you know, we're seeing targeted assassinations of local administrators and people who are seen as colluding with the hands. of course, you know we, that, that is a slippery slope. right? because that just creates more violence, more conflicts, and it becomes a vicious cycle. so that's a real worry. but the people feel they have absolutely no other options because we've heard a lot of great statements from the united nations, from the european union, from the us, the u. k. have the international community and you get nothing has actually really changed. the hunter are still in power out, still killing people, you know, indiscriminately and apart from words that hasn't been getting
10:51 pm
material from the international committee has been some sanctions. yes. but, you know, so the people feel they don't really have much options. and i think, you know, the documentary just shows that the 2 things, you know, the lumped forth the blunt violence that the hence is willing to meet out to its own people. as well as the soft tools of technology, a lot of which are supplied by western companies that they can use. so in addition to just using in a physical weapons, they now have software and technology and equipment that could monitor people it's, it's very worrying. so you really tapped into the new that is online on youtube right now, because so many people are saying what about sanctions will be international community going to do i want to bring in the extra voice. this is phil robinson, have a listen. have a look. the me, military is
10:52 pm
a long history of human rights violations against civilians, against the ordinary people mar. we've seen it every time they go in the field, the standard operating procedure is to target civilians. anybody in an area that is considered to be an insurgent area is a target. so that means murder. that means rape, that means torture. that means destruction of property. that means arbitrary arrest all these things. what me and mar, military as well known for in the international community should recognize that the only way to get through to them is to cut off the arms to the military and to impose sanctions. now, when in thought, i think, you know, what we have to remember is okay, since the february at crew, the human rights violations on the ground has its getting worse and worse. it is really bad. but the human rights violations in burma has been happening for many
10:53 pm
decades. and there is a sense of impunity by the military and even, you know, in 20171, the un found that what happened against the hinge of minority in burma is in fact genocide. there was nothing. there was no accountability and no action was taken. i mean there was some little sanctions, not effective at all against the military. so the military really have that sense of impunity. and of course, you know, we saw so many statements off the statements in the beginning. they were really encouraging for us, very good, but after a while it became started becoming a joke. and we don't, you know, people in burma don't even take that seriously annual because they are the one on the ground risking their lives, knowing that they will be, you know, killed and they will be arrested. but international community, i have to say is frustratingly slow in taking action against the military, and they have the duty to and this cycle of impunity by holding these general is
10:54 pm
accountable. not only for the atrocities that they've committed in the past 4 months, but also for many decades. but they haven't done that yet. so alley knows what it's like to have to go into hiding. she moved from safe house to safe house. the inventor was safer to even be and be more anymore. one of the contributors to this program is actually hiding out in the jungle. i know that you know many people who like that you alluded to that the very beginning in your introduction. this is set . we, when, who left the central part of me, emma, and he's hiding out in the jungle. and this is what he is saying about international community. international help have a list and have a look. we the people of bummer, we hope. and we expect that the international community will do something for us to get that just it. but the international community is very slow to do it the plenty to take the account to take the, the military to get what they did. so we the people,
10:55 pm
we only jenny was and we only went in to get our old just by i mean that's an exasperation. that's when we're going to look after ourselves, you know, paying attention world, which i'm sure is why you made the film. yeah, absolutely. i mean, there are, as i mentioned before, thousands of people in hiding and you know, surveillance in ma'am maurice. nothing new. it's something that was very prominent during the former military regime. and as been mentioned when i was seeing new technology, more sophisticated equipment, which makes it, but the potential gives the military the potential to do and even more effective versions of surveillance. we know that when father also had his emails read that that was mentioned in his charges, the documents of his,
10:56 pm
his charge sheets. so she knows that they've been snooping on him. you know that these people are risk and there's no real end in sight for them. and this is the other thing, you know, at this growing fear and the isolation of the military, the fact that they're kept separately from the rest of the community. we've seen some defections, but really not the number that you'd hope full in order to make an impact into of, and to, to make the military rethink what they're doing. it's not happening. and what i wanted to draw attention to was the fact that the military are doing this, they are, they are, and they have the co pay capability to do more. and because people don't realize all these people in hiding, they may be safe now. but what, what's the future for them when? where do they go? when can they leave? when you, how's your dad doing? what do you know about your dad? my dad is currently being held in an insane prison in a young girl and he is on trial. he's been charged with paid speech. we find it
10:57 pm
funny because he's, you know, he works on a piece and reconciliation with ethnic minorities and ethnic groups in, in the country and he's been charged with speech. there is quite diabolical and politically motivated charge. of course there's a, he's currently on. yeah, we will know when he will be sentence in a couple of months. time waiting thing. ali, thank you so much for bringing the story and me him. all right to us. hey, on the stream and to us on our to 0, have a look, cale my laptop, this is the film, the alley, and the 101 east team of been working on me, a mouth state of fear. now, streaming live online and you'll be able to see on out 0 english as well. i'm going to leave you with a statement is from the assistance association for political prisoners. we got in touch with them. we asked them what was going on. and this is what they told us. thanks for watching. i see you next time. ah,
