Following the nationwide uprising of 1988, and principally after passage of the 2003 Burma Freedom and Democracy Act, the United States has maintained comprehensive sanctions against Burma and its military leaders.
Prior to releasing the results, the findings were forwarded to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) for reaction and recommendation.
In its ensuing statement, released on Friday, the USCIRF responded critically with regard to both the lack of action taken against the most serious violators and to the composition of the CPC list itself. |
