Description

The installation of the Union Government in Burma in 2011 and the undertaking of initial reforms raised the prospects for the resumption of a democratically elected civilian government after five decades of military rule. The release of Burmaäó»s political prisoners has a central role in U.S. policy and Burmaäó»s political future. Many of the U.S. sanctions on Burma were implemented after Burmaäó»s ruling military junta suppressed protests and detained many political prisoners. In addition, the removal of most of the existing U.S. sanctions requires the release of all political prisoners in Burma. Similarly, hopes for a democratic government in Burma äóî as well as national reconciliation äóî would depend on the release of prisoners associated with the countryäó»s ethnic groups. Contents of this report: Introduction; Defining Political Prisoners; Current Estimates; Prisoner Releases; Political Prisoners, Parliamentary Elections and National Reconciliation; U.S. Sanctions and Political Prisoners; U.S. Efforts Regarding Political Prisoners; Issues for Congress. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
