The government of Burma should immediately release ten Arakanese activists convicted of violating Burma’s Law on Peaceful Assembly and Peaceful Procession after protesting a Chinese-led natural gas project...“The right of assembly is crucial, especially since there are no effective legal mechanisms available for voicing concerns over land loss and labor complaints…” [said Wong Aung...of the Shwe Gas Movement.]…“This repressive law has been selectively enforced to target activists who highlight detrimental impacts of high-profile foreign investments,” said Matthew Smith...of Fortify Rights International. The sentenced activists are: Ko Tun Kyi, U Maung Maung Myint, Ko Myo Naing, Ko Yin Hla, Ko San Aye, Ko Mg Mg Soe, Ko Aung Myint Soe, U Maung Pru Thee, U Tun Khaing Nu, and U Tin Oo Kyaw.
