The farmers hold the protest for confiscation of their land in front of the Department of Human Settlement and Housing Development in Rangoon on 27 Oct. Burmese police detained some protesters, including an attorney who campaigns for farmer’s rights. According to the source, they were protesting peacefully but the farmers were asked to leave the area. The police broke the protest without answering any of their requests. This is not in accordance with the law. Confiscating property is nothing new to Burmese people; the military government has been practicing ever since General Ne Win overthrew Burma’s democratic in 1962’s military coup. No compensation for the property that was confiscated by the authorities. These actions show obviously the authorities are still breaking human rights violation in Burma.
