This is really gruesome.. unimaginable..and really makes me to think where is real concern for humans...
Aung Kyaw San, editor of the Myanmar Tribune, has been detained since June 15 for traveling to Irrawaddy Delta to help put the cyclone's dead to rest.
He has been performing this as per the regulations laid by the Red cross along with his volunteers.. in burying the bodies of the victims, who were killed in the recent Cyclone,Nargis..
The Myanmar military news agency says.."It is now essential to get the junta to stop preventing civil society, including the press, from participating in the relief effort," the groups said.
I don't understand what is running in the minds of the Myanmar military rulers.. they declined the relief measures sent by international communities.. and now they are acting indifferently even in this situation..

That's not surprising.
It's always essential that the bodies of the victims are first recognised or sent to their families if they come in contact within a few days.
By declining relief measures, however, was a blunder. It wont degrade their standards or ruin the name of the country if they do..
it was sad i guess....and it keep me thinking are they hiding something to the international community?for what?
