Lwin Oo, a rights defender.

The programme includes reports on the 10-year prison sentence for
Burmese human rights defender Mr. Ko Htin Kyaw and expectations ahead
of the second country report of the Parliamentary Committee for Rule
of Law, headed by Aung San Suu Kyi.

The thaw in Burma, following decades of military dictatorship, raised
hope that respect for human rights and the rule of law will follow.
The professionals interviewed and the stories covered in this episode
indicate where Burma stands vis-à-vis these expectations.
