Wai Hnin, Burma Campaign UK To friend Today at 2:56  PM Dear friend Trade Union leaders in Burma have been jailed for asking for a $1 pay rise. Garment workers in Rangoon are protesting over pay and working conditions in their factories. An average worker gets paid only 43 US cents an hour. To make ends meet, they have to do two days overtime, meaning they often work 7 days a week. Workers have demanded an increase of $1 a day so that they can support their families better. Naing Htay Lwin and Myo Min Min are two union leaders who were arrested for organising protests calling for a pay rise of $1 a day. They were arrested under a repressive law which bans protest without government permission, and they were also falsely accused of advocating violence during protests. They were charged under two different counts, and they are being detained in the notorious Insein Prison in Rangoon. If they are convicted, they could face up to 3...

CHECKMATING CHINA, COURTING EUROPE MODI GARNERS TRANS-ATLANTIC SUPPORT ASHOK B SHARMA At a time when China is busy in extending its ‘String of Pearls’ in the Indian Ocean with an intention to encircle India, New Delhi has worked out an alternate strategy to checkmate Chinese ambition by inviting Trans-Atlantic powers in the region. President Xi Jinping on his recent visit to Pakistan signed a $46 billion agreement for 3,000-km China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which will connect Gwadar in Pakistan to China';s western Xinjiang region. This CPEC will be a network of roads, railway and pipelines between the long-time allies and would give Beijing direct access to the Indian Ocean. China’s “all weather friend”, Islamabad has thus become its centre of “pivotal importance.” Comparatively, New Delhi’s long cherished dream project of using Iran’s Chabahar port for connecting with Afghanistan and beyond to Central Asia and Europe and thus isolating Pakistan has not progr...
