On Saturday I went to Bangkok for a meeting with Paulo Pinheiro, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Burma. He returned from Rangoon and met with NGOs to discuss his reports and the situation. Not that much discussion came out. He basically said that he is writing his report and it will be released soon. Other than that he said he felt nothing had changed and that he owes the substance of his report to the NGOs for their efforts in documenting human rights abuses. It seems to me he is a good man with an impossible job. The UN tasked him with investigating and reporting on the situation within the good will of the SPDC. So what can come of that? But I think he's a good and clever man. I told him I admired his hard work, not his job. I look forward to his report. I gave him several FBR reports and videos, and Prayer of Peace.

The article in whole is not too encouraging but it is great that Par Par Lay was released. Continuing in prayer.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's very informative. I love to read it and do hope to read your next story.
Thanks. Working on an idea now, probably a few years to finish...
