Joint Statement - 25/9/2009

LEPTOSPIROSIS CAUSES DEATH OF ANOTHER 6 BURMESE IN DETENTION IN MALAYSIA

DENIAL OF HEALTHCARE IS A VIOLATION OF RIGHT TO LIFE

We are shocked and disappointed to hear that another six Burmese migrants have died while in detention in Malaysia because of a suspected waterborne disease. Leptospirosis is caused by exposure to water contaminated by animal urine, like rat urine. (Straits Times, 25/9/2009, Migrants die in detention/ Associated Press, 24/9/2009).

From our investigation, the names of 3 of those who have died are So Thein [Prison Body number 0853, Block B1, Ethnicity: Burman, Age: 36], Min Khaing [Body number 5009, Ethnicity: Karen, Age: 23] and Min Nown [Ethnicity: Arkan, Age: 28]. The other 3 are of Chin ethnicity. It seems that the deaths happened in August.

This time the deaths seem to have occurred at the Detention Centre at the KL International Airport (KLIA) depot. The Straits Times report states that an official had informed them that ‘…the detainees likely contracted the disease in another centre. They were transferred together with some 700 others after a riot there...’. In an earlier report (Star, 24/7/2009), it was stated that ‘…some 700 Myanmar illegal immigrants involved in a ruckus at the Semenyih immigration depot early this month have been moved to the department’s KL International Airport (KLIA) depot…’

It must be noted that this is not the first case of death by reason of Leptospirosis. Sa La Hin, 26, and Thang Hoih Ping, 21, two Burmese migrants, died in the Malaysia’s Juru Immigration Detention Centre from Leptospirosis in May 2009. 127 civil society groups and organizations responded vide a joint statement entitled ‘Death Of 2 Burmese Indicative Of State Of Detention Places In Malaysia - Denial Of Healthcare Is A Violation Of Right To Life’.

Complaints were also lodged with the Malaysia’s Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM), Malaysian Prime Minister Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak,, Minister of Home Affairs Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, and the Minister of Health Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai,

After that Leptospirosis outbreak in the Juru Detention Centre in Penang in May, the Immigration Director-General Abdul Rahman assured us that the cleanliness and hygiene at immigration depots nationwide will be stepped-up to ensure safety of staff and inmates there against contracting infectious diseases (Bernama, 19/5/2009).

SUHAKAM also vide letter dated 16/7/2009 had informed us that they had met with the Director General of Immigration on 4/6/2009, and amongst others, had recommended that ‘… as a measure to control contagious diseases to ensure that all immigration detention centres should have a doctor or medical officer in line with international requirements, and that cleanliness of detention centres should be taken care of.’

It must also be borne in mind that last year SUHAKAM identified medical care as an overriding reason why 1,300 detainees have died over the past six years, and had made recommendations to the government. At present the 22 centres throughout Malaysia do not have a permanent clinical dispensary manned by doctors or a medical assistant to help detainees. (ABC News, 28/5/2009)

In May 2009, it was reported that about 26 were admitted to hospital following a Leptospirosis outbreak in the Juru Detention Centre, and they survived, and this leads us to believe that prompt access to healthcare can avoid death. It is shocking that in this recent case, 6 have died. What is more disturbing is that there seem to have been no reported disclosure by the Malaysian authorities on this. We still do not know the number of detainees that have been affected this time.

This is a disease caused by exposure to water contaminated with the urine of infected animals, and is very rarely propagated through contact with affected persons. Question must be raised as to how detainees in an enclosed detention centre are contracting this disease. Are they being affected through the food and water supplied by the detention centres? Are the detention centres having a rat infestation problem?

After the recent deaths and outbreak in the Juru Detention Centre, one would have expected the Malaysian government to have taken immediate steps to ensure that there are no more cases of Leptospirosis outbreak and deaths. We wonder also whether the authorities took a lackadaisical attitude, and did not even conduct a thorough investigation to determine the source of the contamination that caused that outbreak. Results of such investigations will not only determine liability, but would also ensure that further deaths from Leptospirosis could be avoided.

We, the undersigned, call on the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM) to immediately commence a public inquiry into these deaths and detention places generally, and come up with concrete recommendations which could be implemented that will improve state of cleanliness, hygiene and healthcare of all detention places in Malaysia. It was sad that SUHAKAM decided not to carry out a public inquiry after the Juru deaths in May.

We are also call upon the Ministry of Health and the government of Malaysia to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of this Leptospirosis outbreak, which is reported to have already resulted in 6 deaths.

We also call for the resignation of Immigration Director-General Abdul Rahman, considering that this is second reported case of deaths by reason of Leptospirosis at Immigration Detention Centres within the last 4 months.

The Malaysian government must take necessary action to ensure that proper steps be taken so that such disregard for life does not happen again.

With regard to those who have died, their family and/or dependents should be given adequate compensation by the persons responsible, the detaining authority and the Malaysian government.

Officers and persons responsible for the acts or omissions that resulted in death and suffering should be charged and prosecuted for these crimes. They should not be permitted to hide behind safeguards provided to public servants, which unfortunately only promotes culture of impunity with no sense of responsibility and respect for human life.

The dead bodies of two workers have been kept in hospital Dato keramat Timur laut, George Town. When they died, they were working at project 112b-5 Jln permatang damar laut,Taman gembira, 11900 bayan lepas, pulau pinang . Their names are San Maung (passport no: A014430) and Saw Htay( passprot no: 890515). Their work permit will be expired on 8th October, 2009. They were working at E T construction Sdn Bhd, No. 1.v, jln berika 2, Bdr baru air itam, ayer itam, 11500 pulau pinang. The employer failed to follow the Malaysia employment Act 1955. The employer wants to do the funeral of two workers quietly and hasn't paid any compensation yet for two dead workers.
Therefore, we have already informed the Pinang Labour Department on 3rd June, 2009 regarding this case The labour department is investigating the case of two dead workers.

DEATH OF 2 BURMESE INDICATIVE OF STATE OF DETENTION PLACES IN MALAYSIA

DENIAL OF HEALTHCARE IS A VIOLATION OF RIGHT TO LIFE

We, the undersigned, are alarmed to hear that Sa La Hin, 26, and Thang Hoih Ping, 21, two Burmese migrants, have died in the Malaysia’s Juru Immigration Detention Centre from Leptospirosis. This is disease that is usually caused by exposure to water contaminated with the urine of infected animals, such as rodents, cattle, pigs, horses, dogs and wild animals. The fact, that 2 persons are dead and others have been infected by this disease, again highlights the state of hygiene, cleanliness and healthcare at Malaysian Detention Centres.

We recall that it was reported in the media in December 2008, that "About 1,300 illegal foreigners have died during detention in the past six years, Malaysia Nanban quoted Malaysian Human Rights (Suhakam) commissioner Datuk N. Siva Subramaniam as saying. He said many of them died in immigration detention centres, prisons and police lockups because they were denied medical treatment at the right time.” [Star, 18/12/2008, ‘1,300 foreign detainees died due to neglect’]. Now, Sa La Hin and Thang Hoih Ping may just be the latest additions to that list of detainees that died due to similar reasons.

We also recall the words of SUHAKAM in their response to the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) dated 13/1/2009, that correctly stated that ‘…SUHAKAM views the denial of medical attention to the point of endangering one’s life as a serious violation of that person’s right to life….’

These deaths may have been avoided if medical attention was provided promptly, and we call for an independent public inquiry to determine whether there was such negligence on the part of the Ikatan Relawan Rakyat or better known as RELA (a People's Volunteer Corps), and the Immigration officers, who are currently responsible for Immigration Detention Centres in Malaysia.

We do appreciate the fact that the Director General of Immigration has now decided that ‘cleanliness and hygiene at immigration depots nationwide are to be stepped-up to ensure safety of staff and inmates there against contracting infectious diseases’ (Bernama, 19/5/2009, Cleanliness, Hygiene at Immigration Depot to Be Stepped Up).

We hope that this is not merely a knee-jerk response, which is temporary in nature, but a new and permanent commitment by Malaysia to improve standards and conditions of Detention Centres and other places of detention.

The current once a week visit by a medical officer to the Detention Centres is certainly inadequate. There should be, at the very least, a permanent clinic/dispensary manned by a medical assistant, with a doctor visiting detainees for several hours at least once every two days or more frequently.

New users of the Detention facility should also be determined free from easily transmittable diseases like Tuberculosis and the A(H1N1) flu before being introduced to the general population of detention places.

There should also be regular visits by the Health Officer, who shall monitor the conditions, including of the living and sleeping environment, of the Detention Centre to ensure that it meets the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness.

The foods, and all aspects of food preparation, also need to be monitored by the Health Department especially since there is a possibility that the fault in the recent deaths could be the current caterer of food and drink.

With regard to those who have died, we are of the opinion that their family and/or dependents should be given adequate compensation by the persons responsible, the detaining authority and the Malaysian government.

Officers and persons responsible for the acts or omissions that resulted in death and suffering should be charged and prosecuted for these crimes. They should not be permitted to hide behind safeguards provided to public servants and/or the RELA volunteers, which unfortunately only promotes culture of impunity with no sense of responsibility and respect for human life.

We, the undersigned, call on the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM) to immediately commence a public inquiry into these deaths and detention places generally, and come up with concrete recommendations which could be implemented that will improve state of cleanliness, hygiene and healthcare of all detention places in Malaysia.

We are also call upon the Ministry of Health and the government of Malaysia to take necessary steps to ensure that proper steps be taken to ensure that such disregard for life does not happen again.

We reiterate the call for the abolition of RELA, and restate our position that law enforcement, and management of detention places should be done by professionally trained full-time public servants, not volunteers.

ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္အား မတရားသျဖင့္ ထပ္မံဖမ္းဆီးမႈအတြက္ ေၾကျငာခ်က္

WITHDRAW ABSURD CHARGES AGAINST AUNG SAN SUU KYI

RELEASE IMMEDIATELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS IN BURMA

We, the undersigned, are shocked that Aung San Suu Kyi has now been absurdly charged for the offence of breaking the terms of her house arrest, in particular the condition that forbids visitors, after an American man, swam across the lake and entered her house uninvited and refused to leave.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her two assistants were reported to have been charged on 14/5/2009 with breach of detention under Section 22 of the Law Safeguarding the State from the Dangers of Subversive Elements, and their trial is scheduled to begin on Monday (18/5/2009) in an Insein Prison special court set up to handle political dissidents.

American, John William Yettaw, 53, of Falcon, Missouri swam across Inya Lake on the night of May 3 and left the compound early on the night of May 5, swimming a distance of about 2 kilometers. Authorities arrested him later that morning.

In Burma , it is also against the law for a foreigner to stay in the home of a Burmese citizen overnight without approval from authorities.

Dr. Tin Myo Win, Suu Kyi’s family physician, also will allegedly be charged in connection with Yettaw’s staying in Suu Kyi’s compound overnight. Yettaw himself is also expected to be charged, presumably for violating one of Burma ’s internal security laws.

Aung San Suu Kyi and her two assistants, have been taken from her home and is currently being detained in the infamous Insein Prison since 14/5/2009.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, 63, the leader of the National League for Democracy(NLD), has spent 13 of the past 19 years in virtual isolation in her home since the Burmese military junta refused to recognise NLD's landslide victory in the country's last elections in 1990.

The most recent, six-year period of detention is due to end on May 27. The junta’s justification for keeping her locked away under the provisions of this draconian 1975 national security law was to protect the state from "destructive elements". Many speculate that this recent incident was created or being manipulated to discredit Suu Kyi and provide justification for the military government to extend her house arrest again.

We call for the immediate withdrawal of this absurd charge levied against Aung San Suu Kyi, and her 2 assistants;

We also call for the immediate and unconditional release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all other political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in Burma ;

We call for ASEAN and ASEAN member governments, including Malaysia, to immediately intervene and urge the government of Burma to respect human rights, and to adhere to the numerous United Nations resolutions, including General Assembly Resolution 49/197 [1995], which, amongst others, “…call on the Government of Myanmar to release unconditionally and immediately the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who is now in her sixth year of detention without trial, and other political leaders and remaining political prisoners…’

We also call on the United Nations(UN), the European Union(EU) and all concerned nations to act for the immediate withdrawal of this absurd charge, to secure the immediate and unconditional release of all political detainees and to restore democracy and human rights to Burma and its peoples.

Information release 05

Date 29 April 2009

Local Basic SDN BHD (355228-D) is based in Nusajaya Township, Johor state. Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Philippines, Sri Lankan and Burmese migrant workers are working in this factory. The factory is doing Machining, surface finishing and assembly of fabricated metal products. The factory is working under ISO 9001 QMS and ISO 14001 EMS but the authorities have not provided working equipment such as safety shoes, safety glasses, gloves, ear muffs etc. If the workers don’t use, they safety equipment, factory management will fine them. The fine is various styles. If the workers make mistakes the supervisors or line leaders will beat, slap, kick or push the workers. The workers find it very difficult to get medical leave. So they work even when they are sick. The workers are working overtime more than 120 hours per month. These are not normal hours and do not include rest days. Most of the workers are not skilled so their work is difficult and dangerous.

The living conditions are poor because up to 35 people are sharing a room 10x25 square feet in size. Thus, the rooms are over crowded and unhygienic. Water and electricity are paid for by workers. All of the workers must eat at the factory canteen. The authorities do not allow other food. If they don’t obey, they will be fined RM 50. The workers started to complain about the working conditions and turn to the labour department of Burma campaign Malaysia. BCM explained the worker right in Malaysia and also help them to write down their demands. The workers reported to Galang Patah police station, asking them to investigate about the abuses and violations of labour rights.

On 13th March 2009, 10 am, the factory operation manager Mr. Simon Wong and Human resource manager Mr. Foong Kok Leong arrived at the police station to discuss the police report. The factory has over 100 Burmese workers. All of them are not company work permit workers. Some of the workers have been recruited from Ever Green Reliance SDN BHD. During this economic recession, the factory doesn’t have so many orders so 25 workers have been sent back to Ever Green Reliance SDN BHD. Therefore workers can not report to the labour office of human resource ministry for their demands.

But the human resource manager Mr. Foong promised the labour department of BCM and the police that they will not abuse their workers and will follow the current Malaysia labour law in future. This information has been provided by Mr. Charles Hector, The Network Action for Migrant in Malaysia and Ms. Pranom Somwong, Migrant Hub foundation. We also attach the police report and other documents which are required.

ဂ်ိဳဟိုးမွျပန္ပို႕ခံရေသာ ျမန္မာအလုပ္သမားမ်ားေနာက္ဆံုးအေျခအေန

15th December 2008

I myself Tun Tun and Ko Latt went to TENAGANTIA NGO office at 9:30 in the morning and asking for some suggestions for the workers. Ms. Pusenthi P. Manaim , the programme officer replied us that everyone in their office was busy with its annual report. At that moment, they were not able to accept any new case until January 2009, they explained.

Therefore, myself and Ko Latt contacted Mr. Tian Chua for some help. Mr. Tian Chua suggested us to contact Mr. Din from Labour Resource Centre (LRC). Afterwards, at 3 pm, we visited LRC bringing three Burmese and three Nepalese migrant workers from Johor state together with us. After one hour discussing with Mr. Din regarding the problem between employees and employers, Mr. Din informed Mr. Syed Shahir, President of MTCU. Then Mr. Syed Shahir contacted and requested Mr. Mohan, Chief of MTCU from Johor state to provide necessary assistance for the migrant workers.

Then, the officer from Johor state labour department told us that on 16th December 2008, Mr. Subra Maniam, Minister of Human Resource Ministry had a schedule to meet with the employer who had problems with our fellow workers. The aim of the meeting was to discuss about Malaysian workers who losing their worker rights, he explained. However, the labour officer said in that meeting, he wasn't sure whether they will discuss about foreign migrant workers' issue. But, the labour told us that if the workers' representatives provide him with necessary information, he will pass that information to the Minister during the meeting.

At the moment, all workers are anxiously waiting for the outcome from that meeting. At the same time, the employer has stopped the workers to use their bank accounts. Previously, workers' wages were normally channeled through their bank accounts. The reason is that we have been informed that the employer was planning to buy the air tickets to send the workers back to their origin of country by using those workers' money. In reality, the employer has to pay for the air tickets from his money for the workers' return. We have heard that it was already arranged to send 40 Burmese migrant workers back to Burma on 16th December 2008 at 8 pm.

16th December 2008

Two Burmese and two Nepalese worker representatives went to the labour department in Johor Baruh and tried to inform Mr. Mohan the cases of migrant workers. Mr. Mohan told them to wait and they waited for quiet long time. Finally, the worker representatives tried directly to meet with the minister of Human Resource Ministry. Then, Mr. Abidin Olhman accepted them for a brief meeting and told them that labour officers will come to their factory and settle the problems between employer and employees. At 1 pm, all of the worker representatives went back to their factory.

While the worker representatives were in human resource office, the office manager took their photos as record and said that he has to send the photos to the police. It caused the worker representatives getting worry and they had to hide away from the factory for a short period. About 3 pm, the officers from labour office arrived at the factory and told the workers that workers' demands will not be met due to the global economic downturn. And for those workers whose work-permits are expired will be sent back to their origin of country, the officers said. Therefore, the officers told the workers to work regularly and save the money to buy the air tickets. After that the labour officers said they will continue to discuss everything details with three worker representatives on 17th December 2008.

At 8 pm, when night shift workers went into the factory, the factory manager told them that for those who didn't work on previous day didn't need to work again and workers went sent back to their hostel. At 11 pm, buses were ready to take those 40 workers to the airport. Some of those 40 workers have to receive their wages from previous working days, but they weren't paid.

Concerning this issue, Burma Campaign Malaysia (BCM) informed Mr. Din in detail. Mr. Din told us he will continue to inform Mr. Abdullah Sani, Member of Parliament from Kuala Langat constituency to be able to take necessary action.

END.

ကမၻာစီးပြါးေရး က်ဆင္းမႈေၾကာင့္ ျမန္မာအလုပ္သမားမ်ား ေနရပ္သို႕ ျပန္ပို႕ခံရမႈ

Conflict between employees and employers

In Malaysia, there are more than 500 migrant workers who are currently working in INNO VALUES PRECISION SDN BHD (Co. Reg No. 454311-D) at Pasir Gudang in Johor State.
These workers are mainly from Burma, Nepal and Vietnam. Many Malaysian workers are also working there. This company is a Singapore registered one and it has branch factories in China, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea.

Majority of foreign workers have the right to work eight hours a day and one day day-off a week. The daily wages of the workers is 18.50 RM. The workers earn between 750 and 850 RM a month including working for extra working time. However, the salary of the workers is not increased, but some have been given just allowance. But the workers enjoy this allowance for only short period of time such as two or three months. On 22nd August 2007, the Burmese worker named Mr. Tin Lin (passport no. 880009) had to cut his thumb shortly after he had the accident in the factory. In that case, the factory authorities did not pay any compensation to him. Besides, according to the regulation of the factory, if a worker is absent to work for a day, he or she will be barred to work for a week. When the workers are sick, the clinic of the factory gives the workers the medical treatment, however the workers have no right to have their health benefit.

At the moment, global economic crisis is affecting every part of the world economy. As a result, many factories have to reduce its work-force. However, the authorities of this company did not follow the existing labour law of Malaysia while reducing the number of the workers. Instead, that company authorities are putting pressure on the workers to quit the jobs.

At the same time, the manager of human resource department of this factory has been treating the workers in inappropriate manner. Therefore, some workers have informed the local police station on that issue.

Currently, the workers from this factory have demanded factory authorities the following points:

1. To remove the manager of human resource department to other factory located in abroad.
2. Due to the lacking of extra working hours in this month, to stop collecting monthly levy fund. 3. To resume 4 hour extra working time a day for the workers.
4. To provide night shift allowance for those workers who work at night.
The local Malaysian workers also demanded similar points to the factory authorities. The factory authorities replied that they will respond the demands of the workers on 15th December 2008. Since 11th December 2008, many foreign workers are now stopping to work in the factory and staying at their residential places which are provided by the factory.

Concerning the above mentioned cases, the workers contacted Burma Campaign Malaysia (BCM) through Lanthit journal to help them. Mr. Tun Tun and Mr. Yan Naing Tun from BCM went to Pasir Gudang in Johor to collect the facts about the conflict between employers and employees on 13th December 2008. The BCM is now consulting with concerned NGOs, Mr. Tian Chua, MP and information Chief of PKR, also advisor of BCM, Mr. Moe Swe of Ywanchioo workers' association and TENAGANITA NGO for further activities.

The copies of police inform sheet and demand paper of the workers which were signed by the workers are attached with this letter.

ခင္ေဇာ္ႏွင့္အဖြဲ႕ေနာက္ဆံုးသတင္း

Latest Situation of Khin Zaw and His Eight Other Friends

Around 11:20 am, Ko Harun, Khin Zaw and Kyaw Hlaing Win went to TENAGANITA SDN BHD office. Pusenthi P. Manaim, the programme officer discussed with them how to carry on the case. About 3 pm, Mr. Andre Shum, the Managing Director of Vm Capital SDN BHD arrived at TENAGANITA office. On behalf of the owner of Sea House Food industry, Andre Shum complained that Khin Zaw and his friends did the wrong way (it meant that Khin Zaw and friends informing the police). In such kind of case, informing the police is not relevant according to the Malaysian law, said Andre. Andre pointed out, according to the Malaysian law, foreign workers have no right to oppose or boycott their employer and if the workers did, they would be deported back to their origin of country.

The root cause of this problem was that the employer forced the employees to work without unlimited working-hours everyday.

Ms Sani has tried to compromise between workers and Mr. Andre Shum, the representative of the employer. Mr. Andre agreed on the condition, if the workers go back to work, the workers will be paid their two months wages which were previously kept as deposit money by the employer. Mr. Andre Shum said that his boss has been facing with financial difficulties at present and consequently paying wages for the workers had to be delayed. If the workers worked with the spirit of family members themselves, there would not be any problems, said Mr. Andre.

After that, a consensus was reached between Pusenthi P. Manaim and Mr. Andre Shum that next week the factory owner would invite Pusenthi P. Manim and Ko Harun to visit the factory to check the situation of workers in terms of working and living condition.

At present, Khin Zaw and Kyaw Hlaing Win have already returned to the house which is provided by their employer.

During the case of those workers, Ko Huran and Ko Tun Tun provided necessary financial assistance while workers communicating with the NGO.

Khin Zaw and eight others exploited and beaten by employer

Khin Zaw and nine other workers who are currently working at Sweet House Food Industries SDN BHD (620936-K) in Malaysia have been exploited by their employer. All these Burmese workers are holding valid Burmese passports. The following are the names and passport numbers of nine workers.

1. Khin Zaw PP No:A066597
2. Kyaw Hlaing Tun PP No:A089240
3. Myint Oo PP No:A123123
4. Naing Lin PP No:A112441
5. Ngwe Lin PP No:A114081
6. San Lin Maung PP No:A1142443
7. Tun Tun PP No:A112442
8. Aung Win Htut PP No:A123126
9. Hla Saung PP No:A120768
The Burmese workers said that their employer kept their two months wages as deposit money and they are forced to work from 7 am to 2 or 3 am. If the workers arrive at the factory late in the morning, their wages are cut off. There are no days off no break time for the workers and when the workers are fallen asleep during working time, they are beaten by the employer, according to the workers.

Even though the workers tried to compromise with their employer, the employer turn downed their demands. On 8 November 2008, all nine workers didn't go to work and staying at home which has been provided by the employer. The employer arrived at the home on same day, not only denying the demands of the workers, but physically beating the workers. Then, the employer detained the workers in the house and locked it with the new padlock. Later, all nine workers jumped out from the kitchen window and escaped. As soon as they escaped from illegal detention, they went to the Burmese community and asked Ko Harun for some help.

Ko Harun suggested them to inform the police and Khin Zaw went to the local police station by 1:30 pm and opened the case. (Police official paper for opening the case is attached) By 4:30 pm, police officers accompanied with Khin Zaw went to the house and the police took a photo of the padlock and the padlock was cut and taken by the police as evidence. The police officer also took more photos in the house as records. Later, police officers and Khin Zaw went together to the factory to see the employer. Then Khin Zaw was told to go back home and the employer was taken to the police station for further questioning.

However, Khin Zaw and Kyaw Khine Win didn't go back home which is provided by the employer, because they were afraid of possible retaliation by the employer. On the same day, about 10 pm, the employer and worker in-charge came to the house asking where were Khin Zaw and Kyaw Khine Win. The other workers said that they didn't where they were and then they were beaten by the work in-charge. The work in-charge is a Burmese citizen. The work in-charge questioned the names and addresses of those who helped them to go to the police station. But the workers replied they didn't know anything about them and Aung Win Htut was beaten again.

Since 9 November, Khin Zaw and Kyaw Hlaing Htun have been hiding away from the factory. On 10 November, the workers went to see the NGO called TENAGANITA, which is helping for migrant workers. The TENAGANITA accepted the case (case No. MYN/10.11.08/239), however the responsible person from TENAGANITA explained that their lawyers were not ready to travel to the factory at that moment. However, on coming Wednesday, they said that lawyers from TENAGANITA will be going to see the employer and solve the problems within their capacity under given situation.
