Human rights activists, organisations and groups are desperate to keep their jobs and funding now that Myanmar has opened its doors to prying eyes. Tomas Ojea Quintana is no exception. Before making outlandish allegations, Mr Doubting Tomas should have spoken to his UN colleague Vijay Nambiar, who last week visited the riot-torn town of Meikhtila, accompanied by Myanmar's Islamic Council chief.
The *UN expert on HR* is totally lost when it comes to on-the-ground Burmese politics. For instance, why would the Government-of-the-day sabotage its economic and political reforms by inciting religious hatred and violence?
He's playing into the hands of dark forces out to wreck the transition to democracy by attacking Myanmar authorities with baseless charges.
Looking at a nation through the prism of HR has blinded him.
Mr Quintana would do well to chase the ghosts of military dictatorships in his homeland – Argentina. Leave the Burmese alone. We don't need outsiders to fix our problems.
