The EU provided crowd control training to specialist Myanmar police units alleged to have been involved in a violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, but claims it shared defensive techniques only due to concerns about possible human rights abuses.
European police have been working with their counterparts in Myanmar to develop a manual of crowd control techniques as part of a wider EU support scheme called Mypol. The project, initiated in 2012, provided training and equipment to help modernise Myanmar’s military-controlled police force along the lines of “international best practice and respect for human rights”.
was suspended by the EU last week after the Myanmar military staged a coup that has triggered the largest protest movement in the country in more than a decade.
Commentaire: Pouvez-vous vraiement croire l’UE et les Chefs d’Etat de l’UE qui ont fait des declarations tellement remplies de honte… que c’etait a faire pleurer… pauvres democraties, que celles qui arment les dictatures tout en accusant la Chine d’etre derriere le coup…! Trump a fait de nombreux eleves…
Dire qu’il n’y a pas si longtemps… ils etaient tous prets a poursuivre Mme Aung An Suu Kyi pour crime contre l’Humanite. Ca fait sourire quand des chefs d’Etat se lancent dans des Oraisons de Denonciations…
Et les Elections de Novembre dernier, largement majoritaires pour le parti de Mme Aung An Suu Kyi…. ou etaient les policiers pour proteger la victoire???
L’UE a mis fin a sa collaboration… une fois le SAL BOULOT TERMINE!
PS: J’ai verifie sur Internet…. et MyPol existe vraiement…(je ne le croyais pas, alors j’ai verifie). Et je pense vraiement qu’ils detestent les femmes politiques au plus haut niveau…
Maintenant, je pense que la communaute internationale est prete a REOUVRIR LE DOSSIER DES ROHYNGAS: Dans le Banc des Accuses: L’Armee et la Police Birmane de meme que l’UE pour le meme motif: Crime contre l’Humanite.

(CNN)-Myanmar’s new ruling junta is releasing tens of thousands of prisoners Friday as angry protests against the military coup continue for the seventh straight day.
Some 23,314 prisoners are set to be granted amnesty and released on Union Day, a national public holiday observing unification of the country, Gen. Min Aung Hlaing said in a statement. It is unclear what offenses the prisoners were convicted of.
While mass prisoner releases are common on national holidays in Myanmar this is the first such amnesty from the new junta, which seized power in a coup on February 1, ousting democratically-elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and detaining key government officials.
