Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi's aide among 4 foreigners to be set free

Australian academic Sean Turnell is considered to be a close aide of Jailed Aung San Suu Kyi.

Myanmar's state media reported the country&rsquo;s military-controlled government was releasing and deporting an Australian academic, a Japanese filmmaker and an ex-British diplomat as part of a prisoner amnesty to mark the country&rsquo;s National Victory Day.
Government spokesperson Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun told the Voice of Myanmar and Yangon Media Group on Thursday that Sean Turnell, Toru Kubota and Vicky Bowman, as well as an unidentified American, were being released and deported.
Myanmar's state-run MRTV later confirmed the reports, but there was no immediate independent confirmation they had been released.

The violence unleashed by Myanmar's military is widely seen as exposing ASEAN's powerlessness in dealing with a geopolitical and humanitarian emergency that could affect all of them
&nbsp;

Southeast Asian foreign ministers acknowledged that their efforts to bring peace to Myanmar haven't succeeded and agreed to increase their determination to end violence in the country, where a military takeover last year set off a crisis that threatens to destabilise the region.
Recent events in Myanmar, including a military air strike that reportedly killed as many as 80 members of the Kachin ethnic minority and the execution of political prisoners in July, have heightened worries among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
At a special meeting on Myanmar in Jakarta, Indonesia, ASEAN foreign ministers said their efforts haven't achieved significant progress and called for &ldquo;concrete, practical and time-bound actions&rdquo; to strengthen the implementation of a five-point consensus the group reached in April last year on ways to seek peace.
ASEAN, which includes Myanmar, has tried to play a peacemaking role since shortly after the country's military seized power in February last year, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The five-point consensus calls for the immediate cessation of violence, a dialogue among concerned parties, mediation by an ASEAN special envoy, provision of humanitarian aid and a visit to Myanmar by the special envoy to meet all concerned parties.
Myanmar's government initially agreed to the consensus but has made little effort to implement it, aside from seeking humanitarian aid and allowing ASEAN's envoy, Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn, to visit.
But it refused to allow him to meet with Suu Kyi, who was arrested and is being tried on a variety of charges that critics say are contrived to sideline her from politics.
In response, ASEAN has not allowed Myanmar's leaders to participate in its official meetings, though working-level officials have joined some.
&ldquo;The meeting agreed that ASEAN should not be discouraged, but even more determined to help Myanmar to bring about a peaceful solution the soonest possible,&rdquo; Prak Sokhonn, who chaired the meeting, said in a statement.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said the ministers expressed their concern and disappointment, and in some cases frustration, with the lack of significant progress in the implementation of the consensus. &ldquo;Instead of progressing, the situation was even said to be deteriorating and worsening,&rdquo; she said.
&ldquo;The acts of violence once again must stop immediately,&rdquo; Marsudi said. &ldquo;Without a cessation of violence, there will be no conducive conditions for the resolution of this political crisis.&rdquo;
A statement issued by Myanmar's Foreign Ministry said it &ldquo;will not be bound by the outcomes of the meeting&rdquo; because it was held by the other nine ASEAN countries without Myanmar's attendance.
It insisted that Myanmar's military government has been implementing the five-point roadmap by cooperating with ASEAN's special envoy, holding peace talks with ethnic rebel groups and providing humanitarian assistance.
The meeting came ahead of ASEAN's annual summit on November 11-13, where a top focus of the leaders will be the Myanmar crisis, which has threatened the group's unity.
ASEAN members traditionally avoid criticizing each other, and the violence unleashed by Myanmar's military is widely seen as exposing the group's powerlessness in dealing with a geopolitical and humanitarian emergency that could affect all of them.
Growing numbers of refugees are fleeing Myanmar and seeking asylum throughout the region.
The US-based group Human Rights Watch said an estimated 70,000 have fled to neighbouring countries since the military took power and urged Southeast Asian leaders to ensure their governments don't force people back to Myanmar.
&ldquo;Rather than protecting asylum seekers from the junta's violence and persecution, regional actors are forcing Myanmar refugees and other nationals back into harm's way,&rdquo; said Shayna Bauchner, a researcher for the group.
Malaysian authorities reportedly have accelerated deportations to Myanmar, returning over 2,000 people since April without allowing the United Nations refugee agency to assess their asylum claims, while Thai authorities have pushed asylum seekers back across the Myanmar border without verifying their protection needs, Human Rights Watch said.
ASEAN groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

A court in military-ruled Myanmar convicted the country's ousted leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, on more corruption charges on Monday and sentenced her to an additional six years in prison, a legal official said.
The trial was held behind closed doors, with no access for media or the public, and her lawyers were forbidden by a gag order from revealing information about the proceedings.
In the four corruption cases decided Monday, Suu Kyi was alleged to have abused her position to rent public land at below market prices and to have built a residence with donations meant for charitable purposes. She received sentences of three years for each of the four counts, but the sentences for three of them will be served concurrently, giving her a total of six more years in prison.
She denied all the charges, and her lawyers are expected to appeal.
She already had been sentenced to 11 years in prison on sedition, corruption and other charges at earlier trials after the military ousted her elected government and detained her in February 2021.
Analysts say the numerous charges against her and her allies are an attempt to legitimize the military's seizure of power while eliminating her from politics before the military holds an election it has promised for next year.

 While the war in Ukraine has grabbed the attention of almost everyone across the globe, another place in India's neighbourhood is seeing extremely intense fighting, but is yet to gain attention. The military dictatorship in Myanmar is being accused of unleashing its full might on people opposing its rule. Civilians who have reportedly formed militias to fight against the tyrannical junta, are facing rocket attacks by fighter jets and attack choppers. Free Burma Rangers, an organisation reportedly working to provide aid in the area, claimed to have captured the junta government's assaults on camera.

Free Burma Rangers, an organisation reportedly working to provide aid in the area, claimed to have captured the junta government's assaults on camera. FBR's David Eubank told Associated Press, "The worst fighting I think since World War II is happening in Burma and up in Kachin it's been going on for a few years &ndash; sporadic &ndash; but what I saw in Karenni I had not seen in Burma before. Air strikes, not like one or two a day like they do in Karen State, but like two MIGs coming one after the other, these Yak fighters, there was one after the other, Hind helicopter gunships, Russian planes, and then just brought hundreds of rounds of 120mm mortar.
