Information Sheet
*********************
No. A-0047 Date 26-5-97
U Myo Khin (39 yrs) from Yankin Township of Yangon
Division was sentenced to imprisonment for fraudulent of documents
by the Yankin Township Court on the 23rd of May. U Myo Khin,
a salesman had made fraudulent alterations in the family registration
list and the citizen registration card. Thus on 12th of May the
Yankin Township Immigration officer from the Township Immigration
and Manpower Department lodged a criminal complaint at the
Yankin Township Police Station. Action had been taken by the
police under section 465/471 (Fraudulent of Documents) of the
penal code and criminal proceedings had been filed at the township
court.
On the 23rd of May, Yankin Township Court after hearings
found U Myo Khin guilty of both accounts and sentenced him
to (4) years imprisonment. U Myo Khin coincidently happens to be
the Secretary of the Yankin Township NLD and thus being a
political party member of a certain political party does not grant him
the right to make any fraudulent alterations on official documents.
This incident can very well be exploited by the NLD for
their propaganda purpose and raise the number of so called detainees by
another (+50) to make their head count go up to
(300) or conveniently accuse the government of beginning to detain
or oppress party members from Yangon area.
