A key US senator has backed an end to U.S. sanctions on Burma after a landmark visit by Thein Sein, the country's reformist leader, signaling a new normalisation in relations despite rights concerns.
Burma Highlights
Mobile and Internet companies risk being linked to human rights abuses if they enter the Burmese market before adequate protections are in place, a Human Rights Watch report warns.
Burma pardoned dozens of political prisoners, one day after the European Union agreed to end almost all sanctions against the former pariah state; more than 200 political prisoners are reportedly still in prison.
Burma's cancelation of amnesty for former political political prisoner Nay Myo Zin and his imprisonment on charges of defaming police officers is a warning sign.
