Ethnic leader arrested in Burma
New Delhi, March 26, 2001
Mizzima News Group (www.mizzima.com)
A prominent ethnic leader closed to Burma?s pro-democracy leader Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested recently in Burma, despite that the talks
between Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the junta had been going on since
October last year for the possible return of ?political stability? in
this military-ruled country. Reports reaching here said that Mr. Gin Kam
Lian, Secretary General of the Zomi National Congress (ZNC) was arrested
on 19th March at Mawlamyine, Mon State in southern Burma by the junta?s
security forces.
Dr. Kenneth who worked as financial secretary of the ZNC disclosed this
in an interview with Mizzima News Group today. ?He was very closed to
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. We don?t know why he was arrested and his
whereabouts now?, said Dr. Kenneth.
?It is absolutely unjust to arrest Mr. Gin Kam Lian. He is a known
ethnic leader working closely with Amaji (Daw Aung San Suu Kyi)?,
commented Dr. Kenneth.
Mr. Gin Kam Lian had been actively working in the Committee for
Representing People?s Parliament (CRPP), which was formed in September
1998 with the representatives of political parties that had won in the
1990 elections in Burma.
The Zomi National Congress (ZNC) won two parliamentary seats in the
elections but the junta cancelled the party registration in 1992.
Burmese junta has not made any announcement on the arrest of Mr. Gin Kam
Lian. The junta has also arrested the president of ZNC Mr. Cin Sian
Thang in 1999.
