Nai Yekha, who was sentenced for life by regime after he was arrested with accusation of trying to assassinate SPDC’s military leaders, has been in unhealthy condition and he has been barred to get foods from his family and medical care.

“Now he was allowed only a half amount of food and medicine of the previous months. For instance, in the previous month his family can sent him 30 packs of coffee (a pack for a cup) per two week. But now only 15 packs were allowed,” a New Mon State Party (NMSP) leader said.

New restriction began in the mid-August and he was the person who is suffering stomach pains all the time. He was also barred to have treatment in the outside hospital.

Nai Yekha was a leader of NMSP and he was arrested on July 17, 2003 with other eight people including another NMSP member Nai Myo Thwe and Mon people living in Pegu.

Accordingly to his wife, Nai Yekha was faint in last August due to lack of best foods he received and he was lost consciousness about two hours in toilet.

In order to get more nutrition, his family planned to send more foods . But his family was denied to do so, said his wife.

Nai Yekha family was allowed to meet him twice per month and ICRC has been helping them to meet him. NMSP has been accepting him as NMSP member and has been trying for his release, according to NMSP leader.

Other 3 Mon people who was arrested with him, Nai Than Tun, Nai Shew Marn (Youth leader in Pegu) and Nai Min Kyi a leader of Mon National Democratic Front leader (Pegu) were released. They were arrested with SPDC’s accusation of contacting to ILO and providing mis-information on the use of forced labour.

During the arrest of the whole group led by Nai Yekha, all of them were sentenced to death. Military government also made a press conference for the Nai Yekha case and reasons of arrest.

According to the released prisoners, they said they were not culprits of assassination of SPDC leaders and explosions in Rangoon, but the accusation against them were totally made-up. All of the weapon, explosives and ammunitions shown in the conference were arranged by military intelligence of SPDC.

Burman ethnic dominated central government also adopted “assimilation policy” or “Burmanization policy” with a main strategic plan to assimilate all other ethnic people to become Burman.

In the implementation of this policy, the military regime have restricted the use of ethnic language in schools, in the public places and banned not to use as official language.
