A Chance to Fix in Time: Analysis of Freedom of Expression in Four Years Under the Current Government to organise in accordance with the local orders, regulations and instructions in Section 10(k); as main obstacles of the freedom of expression, assembly and procession. 3.1 More Restrictions Included in Drafted Amendment Bill The Bill Committee of Amyotha Hluttaw (the Upper House of Parliament) proposed a bill amending the Peaceful Assembly and Peaceful Procession Law in the parliament on February 20, 2018. The Section 4(d) of the amendment states “The estimated cost and name of organiser of the protest must be submitted to authorities” and Section 18 states “ anyone who instigates, tempts or persuades others intentionally or knowingly (to join a demonstration) that disrupts security, rule of law, tranquility and public morale by providing money or material support will face a maximum of three years’ imprisonment if found guilty”. It is obvious that the added provisions rather restrict than broaden the extent of freedom of peaceful assembly and procession. The punishment for the added offences in the draft amendment is three years imprisonment and possible fine so it is more likely threatening people not to participate in protests. U Thein Swe, the Union Minister of Labour, Immigration and Population on January 10, 2019 officially said in a workshop related to regulations to address conflicts between employers and employees that they would take action in accordance with existing Peaceful Assembly and Peaceful Procession Law if the labours make strike in public areas though they have rights to protest as per labour laws.
