Extrajudicial detention of Shan Leaders |
On 9-2-2007, S.P.D.C. arrested Shan Political leaders, formed a military tribunal, tried them at the notorious Insein jail, and handed down harsh sentences that are rare in similar proceedings. They were charged of being defamation of the state, association with illegal parties and conspiracy against the state. Even their lawyers have been banned at the hastily set up Kangaroo Court. The appellate Court threw out their appeals for clemency twice, in spite of pleas by the Shan Government, SNLD, SSA (N) and their families.
Accusation of treason is preposterous.
