Information from the Government
234. On 13 July 2007, the Working Group received information from the Government referring
to one case. The Government reported that no information regarding the subject’s arrest,
detention or death had been found in any police station or prison in Myanmar. The Working
Group decided that the response was not considered sufficient to constitute a clarification.
Information from sources
235. No information was received from sources concerning the outstanding cases.
Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding
236. In previous years and during the year under review, the Working Group has transmitted
seven cases to the Government; of those, two have been clarified on the basis of information
provided by the Government and five cases remain outstanding.
Observations
237. The Working Group deeply regrets having received cases of disappearances in the context
of the worrying situation in the country.
238. The Working Group strongly reminds the Government of its obligations to adopt
preventive measures and guarantees of no repetition of enforced disappearances, as well as
comprehensive measures to implement the Declaration.
