Description:
"For the purchase and for obtaining the entire paddy crop in the
De-pai-yin township, the Secretary of the SPDC (Shwebo district, Sagaing
Division) issued oral instructions for the closure of all rice mills
operating in the region on 14 November 1999. Our information is that all
the mills even those operating in the small villages had to close down
immediately...The cultivators and farmers are suffering so much because of the use of
force by the dishonest authorities. We request that the matter be inquired
into and the suffering of the farmers be alleviated. We seriously denounce
these illegal and unjust activities."
