Gandar Mount P.S.O

The prison in Insein of Rangoon, Burma and the prison in Xinjiang, China, there are abuses of due process and rule of law, are just the same.

Chinese Government and the Burmese Government used the war on terror as a front to persecute the politicians.

These trials appear to be no more than a ploy to opress religious freedom and ethnic minority groups.

To this day,execution take place immediately after sentencing, trails are totally closed off to any observers and still happen in total secrecy.

Xinjing is the only place in China where political prisoners are excuted and subjected to special forms of toture.

For instance, Peijing’s harsh pre-Olympic crackdown in China’s Muslim-populated far northwest Xinjiang region, in a closed trial of 15 minority “Muslim Uinghurs” on terrorism charges that led to the immediate execution of two of them.

The remaining are received life imprisonment.

The police had also killed 5 Uighurs men who authorites claim were part of a 15 member criminal gang allegedly trained for “holy war”.

In Burma, hundreds of politicians and students including women and Buddhis-monks have been tortured to death since 18-8-88, widespread political unrest in the country.

In Burma, Indians and Chineses, who bear in Burma, are really happy becaue they have never been involved with the politics as wellas never doubted to have been politicians or claimed to side against the Government and they only like to be in peace in line with the military Government’s policy.

But they are thinking about how to make money and how to save money.

For an example, they as the Burmese citizens and business-like bought houses,land and old factories at good location in Rangoon and Mandalay sold by the burmese.

Some of them moved to live outskirt city and the others moved to the small towns.

The Shan soldiers, in a dilema, had to make a decisive answer for their future after being no return of their leaders.

Synchronously, some returned to the strongholds in the northern Shan State while others joined the SURA (Shan United Revolution Army) headed by Moe Haing.

The news of brutal assasination of the three behaved by Fa Lung and Khun Sa had to be concealed as could as poosible to save their dignity.

The murder of the three might not satisfy the Burmese Military Ruler so that Khun Sa must carry on the killing.

The top leaders and high-ranking officers active in the SSA’s political wing and military-operation commanders were to be slain.

To carry out this assignment, Khun Sa needed more time to have a good chance for his gunmen who stand up to the enemy and are involed with gun-running as well.

Khun Sa had many chances to fatally shoot the SSA member one by one after the SSA was seperated into four groups.

(1) Group led by Col.Soe Tent made cease-fire with the Government, (2) Group headed by Col.Sam Mai joined Moe Haing’s SURA force, (3) Group of High-Ranking politicians included Sao Boon Dai, Sao Wai, Khun Jar Nu, Sao Seng Han and Soe Zung, all were not only highly educated from Rangoon University but also well talking in English, retired and stayed in Chiang Mai and, (4) Group being the armed soldiers under command of Col.Sai Lek continued armed struggle around Namp Kham and Mu Se aeras closed China border.

Another one, also important in the Shan Revolution Council and Commander in chief, was Sao Soe Leant, graduated in Political Science, with his wife and 5 children surrendered to the Government because of disappointed with disunity in the party as well as its influence had been diminished.

As the members in the Shan group were separated and staying in different places.

Therefore they were the target of shooting and coincidently the victims were negligent in assasination disposed by Khun Sa.

The consecutive assasination carried on in Chieng Mai as Shan leaders were shot down in different ocasions one by one.

The dead were Soe Zung, Sao Seng Han and Sao Boon Dai.

Lo Shin Han and his business partners have been doing the drug businese under control of the Government in Burma for over 3 decades, since 1974, the Govenment of Ne Win, until today.

But he and his brother Lo Shin Min began to do their drug business in Go Gang State since about 1960 with freedom and without Burmese’s harassment.

Besides the drug trafficking, white and rediquors were also produced which widely distribued throughout the Shan State.

At that time he was offered to establish “Go Gang Defence Force” which inclded 300 strength of Go Gang Chinese only, to protect the rebel groups, the Shan State Army, the Burmese Communist and Ku Ming Tong (KMT) by the Ne Win Government.

Arms and military equipments were collected in Mae Sai.

Lo Shin Min set a drug distributed center in Ta Ki Lek opposite Mae Sai boder town.

Lo Sin Han’s Company at that time was able to refine opium into Mitsu (No.3 pink color) only not yet No.4 white heroin.

The Ku Ming Tong forces led by Gen.Lee 3rd Brigade commander and Gen.Doan 5th Brigade commander defeated by the communist in 1949, took sanctury in Shan State by the thousands.

By then, due to KMT’s promotion policy couple with Burmese economic mismanagement and secret encouragement, popy cultivation and opium trading had jumped on a shockingly rapid scale.

Lo Shin Han, as the opium trader,was secreatly cntacted by the KMT for opium trade.

The secret friendships between the Go Gang and the KMT (the KMT has already joined Burma Commnist and attacked Khun Sa’s army and the Burmese army as frequently) leaked out after yearslong.

In 1973, the Government proclaimed that Lo Shin Han was the traitor and must be given to dead-sentence.Lo Shin Han narrowly escaped and fled to the Shan State Army’s controlled area of Mong Yai township, northern Shan State, and asked for security.

All of his folowers scatteringly fled to the jungle with arms.

Arrival of Lo Shin Han was coincident with making Documentry of Shan’s revolutionary movement by Britishs AdrianCowel and Chris, the Britishs.

Lo Shin Han’s plan was to stay in Thailan so that he asked the SSA leader to send him to Thai border.

In return,he provides financial assistance to SSA.

Lo had met Shan leaders including Soe Leant, Commander in Chief, Buan Tai, Chairman and Col.Sam Mong, Divisional commander in the area.

Shan leaders agreed to Lo’s wish and set a security troops for a week long by on foot to the border.

But before reaching Mae Hong Son boder, in Mong Mai area, the Thai Border Police force promptly captured him and despatched to Bangkok and later repatriated to Rangoon.

The empire was since about three years ago built in Pyinmana districrt which is about 300 miles north of Rangoon.

The military Rulers named their empire as, in Burmese “Nay Pyi Taw”, to where all Ministeries are also moved and the Government staffs are also forced to live.

Any Government staff who rejects to live in the Nay Pyi Taw City would be imbeached.

Official visiting of Foreign country leaders received a warm welcome in this Nay Pyi Taw.

Armed Burmese soldiers are posed for 24 hours security around the new city.

To build the new city, the Drug lords including Lo Shin Han, Khun Sa , Wa and other drug groups under Junta’s control are forced to donate millions dollar.

Construction meterials costed 4,000 million baht, as the loan given by Thai, are imported from Thailand during Gen.Khin Nyunt was Prime Minister and Tuksin Government of Thai.

The meterials are to be used in new city.

Both Prime Ministers signed for the loan with interest.

Tuksin’s corruption charge is believed involved with the loan.

Over 62, 000 billion baht belonged to Tuksin’s family in the Banks in Thailand is being halted by Thai authority of “Anti Corruption Commitee.”

Tuk Sin, during his 5 years regime ,had corrupted many Mega Projects in the country.

The Burmese Junta however still maintains good relations with him.

The drug lords are belived to have expanse of opium grow in the Shan State alone.

The opium growers are provided rice, dried food and cash payment in advance due to more demands of heroin traffickers from abroad.

The Chinese Drug lords are likely to understand that they are walking on the rpoe above crocodile farm.

As well as they are accused by the Burmese activists for the Democracy as annual providing the Junta’s military funds.

About two years after being surrendered arms Khun Sa and Khin Nyunt had oppotunity to be friends while there were many chanels for doing profitable business in Burma.

Khun Nuynt however had already made friends with the Wa group UWSA headed by Bao U Shan and Pao U Hua based in Bang Hsang near the Chinese border.

Khin Nyunt had been providing protection and facilities for this group.

He visited Bang Hsang by military helicopter once a year to collect money from the Wa who broke away from the Burmese Communist Party and made peace with Government through Khin Nyunt since 1989.

There fore, Wa had to be sided with Gen. Khin Nyunt.

Although Khun Sa and Wa are being the bitter enymies.

The General Khin Nyunt in the Military Government named a special intelligence service, which had disagreed by Gen. Than Shwe and Gen. Mong Aye, aiming for personal security.

His intelligence service harassed and scared the various nations throughout the country.

To do the personal business both set a man trusted by Khun Sa called him as “Ai Phar” half Shan-half Chinese, to work for them.

Ai Phar, American citizen, aged currenly about 50, long time living in Baltimal, Maryland U.S.A, had made drug business for Khun Sa since before surrendered.

He bears the paper signed by Gen. Khin Nyunt .The paper is to show the Burmese authorities when he entered Burma.

He is helping imported new cars and sold them in Rangoon.

Two sons of the General involved with the drug trafficking business were imprisoned while the father is under house arrest on charge of corrupsion.

The Wa group had to be strictly controlled by the Gen. Mong Aye.

Khin Nyunt as the Prime Minster of Burma is resposible for the imported construction materials costed 4,000 millions baht from Thailand during Tuksin’s Government.

The Burmese Junta had rejected to consider the 4,000 millions.

Although Mr. Khun Sa died his two sons Sam Seng and Sam Huarn, both aged over 40, have to be carrying on their profiable busines which is under protection of the Burmese Junta. The 2 brothers have long time been working the business and have well experience since before the surrender.

Sam Huarn permanently stays in Tachilek opposite Mae Sai border while Sam Seng stays in Bangkok to keep contacts from America, Singapore and Australia.

After the Surrender, Sam Seng moved to America where his three sisters living as permanently.

Khun Sa and his close alliance, family - linked smugglers and importers who are members of Chinese Triads.

They operate solely with relatives and transact million-dollar deals on a whispered word or a nod.

Their livelihood depends on a steady supply of heroin’s raw meterial,which they purchase from other supplyers.

They process the raw-opium into first-grade heroin and take it to Bangkok, where they smuggle it on to international flights or load it into false-bottomed fishing boats bound for Hong Kong or Penang, Malaysia.

From there it’s shipped to the Pacific Islands and to the West Coast of the Uinited States.

The key figure in this process is Khun Sa, for he controlls the supply of opium.

Khun Sa is directly responsible for about one-thard of the heroin used by the drug addicts in the United States.

The U.S is primarily interested in Asian heroin.

Which is usually very pure and comparatively cheap and represents about 35 percent of the heroin that’s available in the States.

The flow of heroin from the Shan State had become doubled as Khun Sa was concessionaire of drug corporation.

He spent about 250 million US dollar for road construction Between Rangoon and Mandalay, about 800 miles distance,which is for good transportaion.

Air conditioned coachs imported from Singapore to run between the two cities.

When made a question to various nations inclued Indian, Chinese, Burmese, Shan and other ethnics living across the State as does Khun Sa love the Shans and his native Shan State following to his over stated about the revolution in the past? The answer is no! similar heart to heart criticism outbursted after the death of King lord.

He died on 28 Oct. 2007, long time suuffering from blood pressure and diabetic deceased.

During his over 2 decades of living in Rangoon, he had been failing to develop the remote areas of the poor families who need to have hospitals, schools, trasportation routes and other facilities for better living.

Thousands of Shan are confronting with economic-hardship and poverty, besides they are harassed by the Burmeses soldiers almost through out the state.

(The picture shown, FaLung’s last respect to Khun Sa)

The poor families should be given foods and the starved children must be saved.

He had done nothing for the Shans although having millions of US dollar in his hand.

He is trying to do mega projects for his associates only.

He had sold Shans down the river and forgotten his State.

The world remembers that what he used to say during his heyday in the jungle, that is “We take up arms because of our paople. And what do our people say? Every of them has been saying that they want back the country which was given to them by their forefather. The selfish Burmese have made us suffered for decades.Ignorance and poverty only makes us admire other people. I don’ t grow poppies and I don’t deal in drugs. I’m working for the freedom of my country.”
