Here's how free and fair the referendum is gong to be!
"In the training programme the trainees were told that they must cast the
"yes vote" in the referendum. They were threatened with dismissal from
their
jobs if they did not comply," a teacher from Matupi said.
Moreover, the local authorities were said to have warned the people in
Matupi town that those who cast the 'No' vote would be arrested, a teacher
from Matupi said.

Constitutional training for government employees
Khonumthung News
April 19, 2008
Local Burmese junta authorities have force clerks from all government
departments and school teachers from Matupi town in Chin state, Burma to
attend a training programme on the constitutional referendum held in the
first week of April.
U Than Oo, Chairman of Town****p Peace and Development Council of Matupi
Town****p issued instructions for all clerks from government offices and
school teachers to attend the first batch of constitutional referendum
training programme.
"In the training programme the trainees were told that they must cast the
"yes vote" in the referendum. They were threatened with dismissal from
their
jobs if they did not comply," a teacher from Matupi said.
Moreover, the local authorities were said to have warned the people in
Matupi town that those who cast the 'No' vote would be arrested, a teacher
from Matupi said.
The authorities recently also restricted government employees travelling
from one place to another and asked them to submit a re****t to the TPDC
office once a month.
"The training was actually organized by the TPDC authorities but the
participants paid for their own travel expenses and food," said a
participant from Chin state.
The military junta Deputy Minister for Religious Affairs Brigadier Thura
Aung Ko recently arrived in Matupi to launch the campaign for the
referendum
in Chin state.
Meanwhile, the local authorities have prohibited any opposition groups
from
campaigning for boycotting the referendum to approve the draft
constitution.
