EU Defends Training of Myanmar Police After Alleged Entrapment of Journalists – @MarkFarmaner told VOA “It’s hard to see how the EU can continue to justify this training program…“There’s no way you can reform the police force if the people in charge…” https://t.co/hrBe2j2HX4

Burma Campaign UK director Mark Farmaner told VOA, “It’s hard to see how the EU can continue to justify this training program when we see these cases where the highest levels of the police force are involved in framing journalists.”
“We can’t rely on donor organizations all the time. What are the ministries here doing? They should organize the trainings with local or foreign experts,” he said.
“I wouldn’t say the EU should stop supporting the training and reform of the police,” Moe Thwe said. “But as long as we can’t change the command system, giving training and technical support won’t be very effective, particularly concerning human rights.”

Don’t know where to begin with this rant: a Myanmar poet once jailed by the junta tells the West to stop „blaming the military“ for Rohingya crisis and uses Brexit to justify expulsion of „extremist immigrants“. Makes me sad for Myanmar and the world. https://t.co/ON9RePI232

On #WorldPressFreedomDay I’m thinking of jailed @Reuters reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo; of @AFP’s Shah Marai and his 9 colleagues killed in Afghanistan on Monday; and of brave journalists everywhere who seek the truth and refuse to be silenced. #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo @ReutersPR pic.twitter.com/mbbwgw2wgm

Here is what #WorldPressFreedomDay means to our jailed Reuters colleague Wa Lone, speaking in handcuffs, flanked by police, on the steps of the courthouse where the farcical trial against him continues. Please listen and share. #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo pic.twitter.com/6EgDrmxE0u
