Published on Sunday, 09 December 2012 05:44
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Chairperson of Investigation Commission for Latpadaungtaung Protest, said during the first conference held in the Yangon Region Parliamentary Building that the truth will be announced even if everyone cannot satisfy with the result.
"Not everyone can be satisfied and it cannot be helped. It is not the duty of the commission. The duty is to find out the truth and provide the ideal suggestions based on the facts", explained the chairperson.
After having discussed with the police officials, she said "The officers told that they used water cannons to disperse the protest and later used smoke bombs. We need to find out what can happen when the smoke meets water. So long as there is no evidence, they will be regarded as the innocent but the suspected."
Aung San Suu Kyi ensured that the investigation will be accomplished according to the existing laws. Therefore, the suspected persons will be regarded as innocent until solid evidences are found. Only then it can be clear that who is guilty and how it happened.
She also added that commission members are required not to announce any information as individuals.
The investigation will be carried out with duty and law in mind and will cooperate with the public.
She said to the journalists that the commission is formed by the decision of Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower House) and the responsibilities are not reduced instead compromised to the norms of the house.
When asked about the occurrence of the protest, the chairperson answered "First of all, I want to know for what the protest is initiated. If we find out the reason, it will be easier for further investigation. The fact is important. Even though we must keep the law enforcement in mind, understanding and solving the problem is far more important."
"The responsible persons must know the Latpadaungtaung protest and the commission will not avoid the duty after pointing out the responsible person. The evidences will be analyzed by outside analysts and non government officials. Although Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd is largely composed of former senior military officials, the truth will be disclosed."
It is also said the Chinese companies participate in the mine project because of the agreement with the government and they cannot do so if the government did not allow. Moreover, the government has to take the responsibility for the country and if the projects are implemented with transparency, this kind of problems will never occur. The projects should be arranged only after satisfactory negotiations.
"Negotiation needs all parties included to compromise their needs. If a party does not compromise, the deal cannot be made. A deal means the parties have to be flexible and understanding. That is the basis of democracy. Doing with negotiation of deal is not the principle of democracy", said Aung San Suu Kyi.
This protest can lead to a misunderstanding to the foreign investors that their investments can face similar problems. The media has to learn deeply and report accurately. The backgrounds must be included and reports must look for the good of the country.
Many people have condemned the serious crackdown on the protest camps from Latpadaungtaung copper mine area at 3 am in the morning on November 29.
The commission was first founded by the president on December 1 with Aung San Suu Kyi as chairperson after protests against the means of handling in Yangon and Mandalay, two largest cities in the country.
On December 3, the commission was reformed with 14 members but Aung San Suu Kyi was still appointed as chairperson.
