An international human rights advocacy group urged Myanmar’s civilian-led government and parliament Wednesday to repeal or amend draconian and colonial-era laws enacted by the former junta to suppress peaceful speech and assembly.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) Asia Director Brad Adams praised the effort of Myanmar’s new government -- led by Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi -- to release hundreds of those imprisoned for peaceful expression or protest, and to drop charges against others, shortly after it took power in late March.
