Prime Minister,
Royal Nowegian Government, Office of the Prime Minister,
Oslo, Norway.
Date 11.10.2011
Subject: Request to replace the temporary Executive Director Harn Yawnghwe from
Democratic Voice of Burma (Oslo) DVB. Your Excellency,
We
are the Executive Members of the Burmese Community in Europe, and we
are very pleased to know that your Government has been active on Burma.
We truly appreciate your relentless devotion to democracy in Burma.
We
are writing this letter to inform you that the corruption in DVB
shocked us tremendously. As Burmese living abroad, we feel very
shameful for the incident where donation money of the kindhearted
Norwegians taxpayers were basically stolen. This
kind of criminal
act is not tolerable and the persons who are responsible for this
dishonest act need to be punished according to the Norwegian laws.
The
main persons responsible are executive director and deputy director for
their sloppy management. Also the temporary Executive Director Harn is
not trusted by the
Burmese communities in Europe, Latin America,
Africa, and in Asia. Harn has been using donors’ money for building his
own empire, not for the democratic change in Burma but to split the
country for his personal revenge. His family suffered under Ne
Win
led military regime and so did all of us, but his personal vengeance
became reality when he was appointed as the Chief of Euro-Burma office
by U Sein Win’s so called
exile government known as National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma
(NCGUB).
Later
he betrayed NCGUB and founded the ethnic organization called Ethnic
Nationalities Council (ENC), which had him expelled from the NCGUB.
Later he changed his stance from anti-government to a pro regime and
ended up angering the ethnic leaders, which resulted in his departure
from ENC.
He is now supporting the Muslim group called
Rohingyas by attended the Muslim conference in London. His action
created an outright rejection of his political career by Arakanese
people.
Below is our opinion and suggestion you should consider for the future success of DVB.
1. Forum of Burmese in Europe, as well as the audience of the DVB, do not accept
Harn as a Director of DVB.
2.
Harn Yawnghwe is not clean from corruption and he has been using the
democratic revolution as his personal benefit and not for the people.
3. Majority of the democratic forces living abroad did not support Harn and his activities.
4.
We want to see someone from the board of directors who is trustworthy
with a passion about Burma to substitute Harn’s position. This person
does not need to be a Burman.
5. We need an
explanation from the board of directors and the executive directors why
senior reporter Htet Aung Kyaw and other reporters who were laid out a
few
months ago.
6. The mismanagement of the
DVB by the two executive directors led to the shameful corruption.
Those two are responsible for the corruption and need a strong
reaction.
7. We want the board of directors to
investigate the properties of the management team and calculate whether
their salaries can afford such expensive houses.
8.
DVB is created for pro-democratic movement and it needs to be always
pro democratic in view and support pro-democratic activities, and not as
a neutral broadcasting station, on the other hand, the Burmese regime’s
broadcasting station is only one-sided bias on government activities.
9. The management team misused their power by censoring pro-democratic leaders
if
they disliked them. Because of this behavior many contributions to the
democratic movement has been wasted. This kind of unprofessionalism
needs to stop.
10. DVB needs brave journalists inside Burma who dare to take risks and who dare
to
give their names as DVB reporters. It will terminate the middle
persons who try to snatch the middle portion of the funding. FBE is
willing to help with this missing link.
11. If you require evidences about the accusations made towards Mr Harn, we are ready to give you at a later date.
We
therefore ask you and your Government to suspend Mr. Harn Yawnghwe from
the temporary executive director of the Democratic Voice of
Burma,Norway as soon as possible.
We thank you for your kind attention of our appeal and petition, and we offer you and the people of Norway our best wishes.
Yours Sincerely,
Executive members of Forum for Burmese in Europe (FBE)
