The military government of Burma has described the latest U.S. report on human rights as inaccurate and unacceptable. In the report released by the U.S. Department of State on Monday, Burma is listed among countries with a very poor human rights record. The report accuses the leaders and military of Burma of suppressing basic freedoms, condemning people to death without fair trials, and committing sexual violence. In response to this report, the military government stated that the U.S. does not accurately reflect the facts. The Rangoon government also claimed that the U.S. report attempts to criticize others while absolving itself of any wrongdoing. Another accusation mentioned in the report against Burma is that the military government has seized power while Aung San Suu Kyi, the opposition leader, has been under house arrest for the entire past year.
