Euro-Burma Office issues apology for its publication

An official apology was issued by the Brussels-based Euro-Burma Office regarding the report they made on its website last Friday identifying the National League for Democracy (NLD) members in Meiktila as responsible for the unrest that occurred in central Burma last week, Irrawaddy News reported.

According to Harn Yawnghwe, the executive director of the Euro-Burma office, the claims were made by usually reliable sources and were posted accurately without any editing.

Moreover he said that he intended to post the report so as to warn both all the parties concerned to put a stop on the violence in Meikhtila. It was never their intention to do unjust things and harm the reputation of the NLD.
