Mizzima News is reporting today that Burma has been put on the United States State Department list as a country of particular concern, since the Burmese government has still failed to address religious freedom inside the country. Burma has been on the list every year since it began in 1999 except for the year 2007.
The CPC designation is reserved for the governments of countries in
which persecution of religious freedom is found to be "particularly
severe", including torture, and characterized by the "flagrant denial
of the right to life, liberty, or the security of persons."
In recent weeks, Burma's predominantly Muslim Rohingya population has come under international attention for its alleged and prolonged persecution at the hands of Burmese authorities and their travails in attempting to flee the harsh living conditions of Burma.
