Open letter to Radio Free Asia Burmese

http://www.voanews.com/content/burma_buddhist_chauvinism_nurtured_by_authorities/1503665.html Dear All, I want to remind you that the 2 women anchors at RFA chirping about the "biggest demonstration of monks since 2007" was extremely objectionable (the clips did not even show more than 50 monks), when we know what VOA's Daniel Schearf has written. They are just regurgitating junta propaganda. I had to listen to it twice before I could even discern what they were demonstrating for or against. This is bcc-ed to Burma Activists. On the other hand - you should watch VOA's excellent interviews of Dr Sein Win, (yesterday) and Daw Hpyu Hpyu Thin (a few days before that)- and why have you (RFA) not interviewed Dr Wakkir ud Din again, and never to my knowledge ever interviewed Rohingya specialists Nora Rowley and Chris Lewa?? Chris has been working on Wn Burma since at least 2001 and Nora has even worked there as a medical doctor with Doctors without Borders. kmk
