A/HRC/8/12 page 9 29. The situation of Aung Saan Suu Kyi is an issue of critical concern for the Special Rapporteur, since it compromises the fundamental human rights recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Articles 9, 10 and 11, which grant a number of rights to arrested persons, and articles 19, 20 and 21, which protect the principle of political rights, are all seriously affected in the case of Aung Saan Suu Kyi. In addition, given her responsibility as NLD General Secretary, her arrest affects the political rights of many other members of the NLD and of the people of Myanmar. III. DEVELOPMENTS WITH REGARD TO THE EVENTS OF AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2007 30. In its resolutions S-5/31 and 6/33, the Council called on the Government of Myanmar to investigate and bring to justice perpetrators of human rights violations with regard to the peaceful demonstrators of September 2007, and to release, without delay, those arrested and detained as a result of the demonstrations and to ensure that the conditions of detention met international standards and included the possibility of visiting any detainee. 31. The Special Rapporteur would like to provide more recent information brought to his attention in relation to the situation covered in the previous report (A/HRC/7/24). A. Arrests, detentions, trials and releases in connection with the demonstrations of September 2007 32. In the previous report (A/HRC/7/24), the Special Rapporteur noted that 718 individuals had been arrested between August 2007 and February 2008 and that they were reportedly still detained at the time of finalization of the report. That figure included the 93 individuals confirmed by the Government to be in detention during the Special Rapporteur’s mission to Myanmar in November 2007. The Special Rapporteur has relied on information from various sources and it is incumbent on the Government to provide confirmation in order for the Special Rapporteur to present an accurate account. The Special Rapporteur has received information relating to individuals reportedly arrested and/or in detention in connection with the crackdown on the demonstrations of September 2007. These arrests contravene articles 9, 10, 11, 19, 20 and 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 33. Regarding the situation of some members of the 88 Generation Students group, the Special Rapporteur has received information confirming that Khin Moe Ay, Aung Gyi (also known as Moe Aung Soe), Myat Hsan, Zaw Min, Htun Htun Win and Win Maw are all still detained in Insein prison. Kyaw Soe, Myo Yan Naung Thein and Win Maw are also still detained in Insein prison and have reportedly been charged under section 5 (g) of the penal code. Mon Min Soe (also known as Min Min Soe), included in the report as self-identified political activist, has also reportedly been identified as a member of the 88 Generation Student group and is reportedly still in Insein prison. 34. Regarding the situation of self-identified political activists, the Special Rapporteur is pleased to report that, according to information received, Myint Naing, Dr. Aung Moe Nyo and Htet Htet Aung have been released; however, Ye Thein (alias Ko Bo Naung) is reportedly still detained in Sittwe prison, Arakan State. U Khin Hla was reportedly transferred from Thandwe prison, Arakan State, on 8 February 2008, to Buthidaung prison, Arakan State, and charged
