The opposition leader is free, but the new dictatorship of Burma is torturing and killing civilians. We can not "wait and see"

Until last year, when I told people I was in Burma, people say. "Oh, I am told it is a pity he is not that the woman is under arrest."

Now when I say I am from Burma often say, "Oh, things are better now"

The answer is no, but the fact that some people feel this is good news for the new dictator of Burma, Thein Sein.

Aung San Suu Kyi may have been released and is free to celebrate his birthday, but about 2,000 political prisoners remain in prison, and are treated worse than in the past. Many, including my father, were transferred to remote prisons make it more difficult for family members to visit. More than 150 were deprived of medical care for diseases, a cruel form of torture that causes suffering and even death. And who are serving much more than before, with the whole lot to stay in prison for 65 years.

Recently

political prisoners protesting their conditions were thrown into cages "dog cells" in prison for dogs who are forced to act like dogs and begging for food and often can not even talk.

Meanwhile, Thein Sein, has intensified its attacks against ethnic minorities in border areas of Burma. Amnesty International and the Burma Campaign UK have been reports of Burmese soldiers from mortar shelling of villages, and execution of gang raping women and torturing people. Thein Sein has broken 20 years of cease-fire agreements with armed ethnic groups and bring the country to the brink of civil war.

When the former dictator, Than Shwe, took power in 1992, admitted that there were political prisoners, and has published more than 400. On the contrary, denies political prisoners Thein Sein there.

From 2008
told us to wait and see what happened in the elections held in 2010. The elections were rigged and the main pro-democracy party, the National League for Democracy, was banned. In any case, the new constitution is completely powerless parliament. Forum to display an image of change, while the generals removed their uniforms and run the country as before

Now we are told to wait and see what the new government, Thein Sein, the fact. No need to wait. We know that his regime sent soldiers to rape women. We know their plan bomb villages, killing civilians. We know that the torture regime peacefully demonstrating for their rights. Thein Sein is not a reform, it is as usual - and everyone says we have to wait and see my people suffering and dying
's time to take urgent and concrete measures by the international community, there should be no more "wait and see."
