Anger over Suu Kyi's report

An inquiry panel headed by Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has sparked anger after failing to punish police for injuring protesters and suggesting that a controversial copper mine be kept open.

Thein Than Oo of the Upper Burma Lawyers Network said:

“This commission result is not enough and we can’t rely on them,”

“If the protesters violated the law, how about the riot police? They also violated the laws. The government should investigate both sides and mete out the punishments.”
