Dr Naing Aung and Moe Thee Zun, the former chairmen of the All Burma Students' Democratic Front (ABSDF), both former citizens of Myanmar, have been denied entry visas to visit the country.
“We continuously fought for the release of Daw Suu (Aung San Suu Kyi). We also fought for the release of Min Ko Naing and other political prisoners. But now, no one helps us get visas. We feel sad. We have been living in exile for 27 years to fight for Myanmar's democracy reform," said Moe Thee Zun.
Under the new government, measures are reportedly being taken to give more protection to former Myanmar citizens and those working abroad. In so doing, the Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population is also easing restrictions on entry visa applicants. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
