NAYPYITAW: -- A bill to protect Burmese citizens’ privacy, security and freedom from state surveillance and intrusion was submitted to the Burmese parliament on Thursday, The Irrawaddy Online reported on Friday.

 

The bill prohibits unwarranted household arrests and inspection, and surveillance of individuals and their private communication in a manner that harms their privacy or dignity, barring the approval of the president or union members.

 

The bill also states that no one can request or provide private communication logged by telecom operators, unseal private letters and parcels, intrude on an individual’s private affairs and family life and seize citizen’s moveable or immoveable property.

 

Despite democratic reforms, Burma still retains much of its surveillance and repressive security apparatus, which remains under the control of the military.
