The rights enjoyed in Burma
Posted by cabalamat on 2007-Oct-08
Indigo Jo writes about Burma’s Muslim minority (my emphasis):
In the recent rush to support the monk-led uprising against the military junta in Burma, the situation of the long-suffering Muslim minority, particularly in the state bordering Bangladesh where they make up 50% of the population but do not enjoy the rights other Burmese citizens enjoy.
And what rights would they be? — the right to be imprisoned and tortured by the government? He’s making a serious point, but I can’t help thinking it could have been better worded.
