FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Ms Suu Kyi is due to arrive in Washington on Monday where she will meet
President Barack Obama and receive the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest
civilian honour the US can bestow.
President Thein Sein, who is set to travel to the US himself later in the
month to address the United Nations, has come under renewed pressure ahead
of Miss Suu Kyi’s visit to free all remaining political prisoners.
The amnesties given to almost 700 political detainees in the last year were a
key reason for Burma being welcomed back into the international fold, but
Washington has made the release of all dissidents a condition for any
further easing of sanctions. The government has also been attacked for its
refusal to allow some pro-democracy activists to travel abroad.
Human rights group remained cautious over the government’s announcement.
“While another prisoner amnesty is welcome in principle, we’re waiting to
see the list to assess how many political prisoners are included,” said
Phil Robertson, the deputy director of Human Rights Watch in Asia.
