UN envoys position confusing
I think I am missing something here.
"Burmese pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi says she is being held under a security law, similar to Malaysia's Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows for indefinite detention without trial," so conveys UN special envoy Razali Ismail.
That being the case, and he not having so far said a word on equivalent situations in Malaysia must surely put him in a confused state of mind!
How can he honestly speak on behalf of Aung San Suu Kyi when in the same breath, or even in the next, he is unable to speak on behalf of Malaysians caught up in situations where similar arguments have been used to incarcerate them?
Maybe in Part Three (of the interview), Razali can explain how it is possible for him to acquiesce with what happens to Malaysians held up in ISA joints, whereas he is able to sympathise and talk on behalf of Suu Kyi!
Just a little statement so that at least his jaunts to Myanmar have some meaning.
