Re: Women pressured to denounce monks

No! No! No! That is our money. Taking back your own money cannot be considered hypocrite. It is hypocrite if your religion don't allow you to gamble but immediately after your prayer, you walk into the Singapore Pools outlets to bet for soccer game or buy toto and 4D.

Look who is complaining here? When you withdraw your money that the govt. gave to you through SG shares aren't as guilty as the govt. for selling weapons to the Tamil Tigers? So, are you a hypocrite? On one hand you're happy that the govt. gave you the money and on the other you complain where the govt. profit the money from to give it to you and your family to spend. You're the biggest liar and a hypocrite.

The military regime is sponsored more

Women pressured to denounce monks

Oct 29, 2007 (DVB)-Two women held in Insein prison were pressured to testify
against monks, according to a National League for Democracy member who was
detained with the women.

Ma Ohmar, an NLD member from Dagon Myothit township, spoke to DVB in an
interview on 26 October, the day after her release.

She was arrested on 25 September and held first in a reserved holding area in
Insein prison, then interrogated by the 8th Regiment at Mingaladon for four days
before being sent to Insein prison on 29 September and held there until here
release.

Ma Ohmar told DVB that a woman who was held in the cell next to her, Ma Ei, was
pressured to testify as a government witness, and claimed she was given an
earlier release because of her cooperation.

"Ma Ei was under tremendous pressure and she had to give testimony as a
government witness...and she was released about two weeks earlier than us," Ma
Ohmar said.

Ma Ohmar also claimed that Hnin Hnin from Ngwekyaryan monastery, another woman
who is still in detention, was instructed to say that she had had illicit
relations with monks.

"They recited what she should say and she repeated after them. They documented
it on videotape. They intend to use her as a prosecution witness also," Ma Ohmar
said.

"They are making up stories and videotaping it to prove that the monks in
question are fake monks."

When asked about her own treatment in detention, Ma Ohmar said that she was not
physically abused, but that food, water and medication were withheld from the
detainees and they were deprived of sleep.

"They woke us up at awkward hours when we were sound asleep. Even the water they
gave us was dirty. One day I was interrogated the whole day without water," she
said.

She was refused medical attention and medicine for urinary problems, but was
finally given some water to drink.

"I was very thirsty so I slowly drank the water like it was my medicine. When
the water was almost gone, I found hairs, dead ants, and some deposits in the
container," she said.

Many of those arrested during the demonstrations in September who have now been
released have reported ill-treatment in detention.
