BOUGAINVILLE - RAID: SIBC, PACNEWS NEWS FLASH, SEPT 12 1992

Papua New Guinea soldiers are reported to have raided across the border into
the Solomon Islands in a mission which has resulted in the deaths of two
Solomon Islanders.

Solomon Islands Broadcasting says the raid at Komaliae village in the Shortland
Islands this morning is the most serious so far since the destruction of a fuel
dump at Kariki village in March this year.

The raid was carried out by PNG commandos who arrived at Komaliae Bay in three
outboard powered boats, apparently to destroy a fuel dump which is believed to
be owned by local businessman, Peter Kamaraia.

Kamaraia was one of the two persons killed in the raid.

He died instantly when he was shot point blank by a commando with an M-16
automatic rifle, after trying to stop the soldiers from destroying his fuel.

His sister was shot in the leg when she went to investigate a the scene of the
raid and she later died from loss of blood.

Her three-year old child was also shot and has been taken to Gizo for
treatment.

Reports received by Police and government authorities in Honiara say the PNG
commandos have taken captive the husband of the woman who died of the gunshot
wound.

Reaction from Honiara has been swift.

The Commissioner of Police, Frederick Soaki, condemned the raid, saying it was
an uncivilized killing, unbelievable, by a defence force in the Pacific area.

The Police Commissioner told SIBC that Prime Minister Solomon Mamaloni has
instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Job Dudley Tausinga, and the Police
and Justice Minister, Albert Laore, to prepare and send a protest note to the
Papua New Guinea government over the raid and the killings.

They will also seek assurances over the safety of the Solomon Islander taken
captive this morning.

SIBC says the Solomon Islands government is understood to be considering taking
the case to the United Nations Security Council.

Odd items, remarks.
The Nation Monday September 14, 1992

THe number of ballots counted at three separate polling stations in
Bangkok's Constituency 1 totalled more than the number of eligible
voters recorded by the Interior Ministry.

When counting was completed at polling station No 85 in Dusit district,
votes tallied at 609.  The number of eligible voters, according to the
Interior Ministry's official record, is only 455.

A similar incident took place at polling station No 87 where there were
1,092 eligible voters but officials counted 1,565 ballots.  At nearby
station No 88, total votes were 1,014; the number of eligible voters is
only 831.

The three polling stations are located in front of military units which
dominate the district.

Prachakorn Thai Party leader Samak Sundaravej was the only candidate
from his party to win in this constituency, followed by Winai Sompong
and Arkorn Huntrakool of Palang Dharma Party.

As a matter of interest, Mr.Banhan Silpa-archa's score is 178,571 this time.
His previous score in March 1992 was 165,164 ballots, and that was number one
in the country.  I believe that he gets number one position again, despite
a strong resistance from the PollWatch on Suphanburi province.

As a matter of interest, those who get more than 100,000 ballots are
   Banhan Silpa-archa,
   Buun-ua Prasertsuwan,
   Jumpol Silpaaracha,
   Korn Thapparangsi,
   Laddawan Wongsriwong
   Chuan Leekpai...
(in descending order, ie. Laddawan got more ballots than chuan).

Subject:      PNG: Bougainville Conference

CONFERENCE:"BOUGAINVILLE CRISIS: TOWARDS RESOLUTION
---------------------------------------------------
A one-day conference - 29 September 1992, 9am-5pm, Coombs Lecture Theatre
The Australian National University, Research School of Pacific Studies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This full-day conference in the RSPacS will examine the Bougainville
situation, focussing on current moves towards resolution of the conflict
and redevelopment, rather than just taking stock of what has happened in
the past.

The list of speakers includes: Hon. Michael Ogio, MP (PNG Government
Minister of State for Bougainville); John Kaputin (Minister for Foreign
Affairs of the PNG Govt); Moses Havini, Leo Hannett (Bougainville
Development Corporationa and former Premier, North Solomons Provincial
Government); Joseph Igilio (MP for Central Bougainville); Nic Penai
(Chairman, Bougainville Interim Commission), Ruth Saovana-Spriggs (former
Provincial Coordinator, Viles Tok Ples Skul Program, North Solomons
Province); Sam Tulo (Administrator, North Solomons Province); and Dr Greg
Tillet from the Centre for Conflict Resolution, Macquarie University. The
programme is yet to be finalised, pending confirmation of acceptances by
the invited speakers.

A range of Bougainvillean views will be represented. Australian NGOs that
have been involved in the issue have been invited, as well academics with
PNG and conflict resolution expertise.

Previous conferences on the Bougainville Crisis (1990) and the "Update"
(1991) were well attened and received significant media coverage. Papers
from these previous conferences have been published. Funding from the
Australian International Development Assistance Bureau assisted the
Research School in bringing Bougainville speakers in 1991 and the School is
grateful for similar assistance in 1992.

A charge of $10 (student and pensioner concessions: $5) will assist in
covering some of the conference costs. No advance registration is
necessary.

Chat Thai maintains central region power
The Nation Monday September 14, 1992

THe Chat Thai Party yesterday retained its domination in the central
region where its leader, Pramarn Adireksarn, and secretary gencral,
Banharn Silapaarcha, ran for House seats in two provinces.

Despite campaigns by pro-democracy groups against "devil Parties" - a
category in which the Chat Thai was included, the party team led by
Banharn swept five House seats in Suphan Buri for the fifth consecutive
time.

Suphan Buri has been under the close watch of the poll-monitoring
committee because it was listed as a province under political influence.
The Suphan Buri governor was allegedly biased for former MPs there.  He
was temporarily transferred to the Interior Ministry two days before the
election, but urged residents to help "Suphan buri MPs to get the most
votes in Thailand" in a slogan to attract a large vote turn-out.

Apparently, it worked.

Once again Banharn emerged as the MP with the most votes in the country.
just as he had in the last election.  The Chat Thai secretary general
yesterday received more than 180,000 votes.

Although Pramarn and running-mate Ngern Boonsupha captured their House
seats in Saraburi again, the Chat Thai leader failed to help his son,
Pongpol Adireksarn, get elected with him.

Pongpol lost to Democrat Party candidate Somchai Sunthornwat who made
his political debut in this election.

The Chat Thai won 38 House seats in the region, four fewer than it did
in the March election.

The Democrat and Solidarity parties, which were dubbed "angels" for
their role against the Suchinda administration, were also successful in
the region.

The Democrat Party, which had won no seats in the central provinces in
the last election, scored nine MPs here yesterday.

The Solidarity got six Houst seats in the region, compared to two from
the last election.  Of those six seats, four were in the eastern
province of Chom Buri where party leader Uthai Pimchaichon ran.

Hanoi demands China withdraw ships from Vietnam waters

   BANGKOK, Thailand (UPI) -- Hanoi has accused China of illegally drilling for
oil in Vietnamese territorial waters and demanded Beijing  "immediately
withdraw" its vessels from the area, official Vietnamese media reported
Saturday.
   "In mid-August and early September, China sent its oil prospecting and
drilling ships on a drilling operation in an area of Vietnam's territorial
waters" in the Gulf of Tongkin, state-run Radio Hanoi said.
   "It also banned operations of other ships within the radius of 1,000 and
1,500 meters" (1,000 yards to 1 mile).
   "The closest point of the planned field of operations is only" 80 miles from
the Vietnamese port of Ba Lat, the broadcast said.
   "The area also lies right on the internal and international sea lane" between
Haiphong and Quang Ninh, it said.
   "This contravenes the proposal put forward by China on Jan. 18, 1974 that
pending the delineation of the sea border between the two countries, the two
sides shall temporarily refrain from prospecting in the area."
   The radio said the Foreign Ministry on Thursday sent a note to the Chinese
ambassador in Hanoi "expressing its concerns over these activities on Vietnam's
continental shelf" and "demanding China immediately withdraw all its deployed
ships ..."
   "It is a pity that despite Vietnam's protests, the Chinese vessels are still
deployed," it said.
   Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xu Dunxin is to visit Hanoi later this month to
discuss disputed borders between the two countries. Radio Hanoi said the Chinese
actions "do not create favorable conditions for the forthcoming talks.
   "The Vietnamese government hopes that the Chinese government instructs the
concerned branches and localities of China to put an immediate end to the
deployment of the above-mentioned plan and will refrain from such acts in the
future."
   China launched a brief 1979 border war against Vietnam to "punish" Hanoi for
its invasion of Cambodia the previous year.
   The two communist nations began normalizing their relations last year. But
rival claims to the Spratly islands in the South China Sea have led to increased
tensions between two former Vietnam War allies recently.
   China last February passed a law reiterating its claim to over the Spratlys
and reserving the right to use force there.

No surprise in Chat Pattana's Northern win
The Nation Monday September 14, 1992


THE Chat Pattana (National Development) Party emerged the most
successful in the North in Yesterday's election by capturing 22 House
seats, followed closely by the Chat Thai Party with 18 seats.

However, the victories were not surprising, given the fact most of the
successful candidates were old faces from the defunct Samakkhitham
Party, which in the March election won 29 seats in northern provinces.

The Chat Thai Party could have done better. Former Samakkhitham Party
leader Narong Wongwan, arguably the most influential person in the
North, and a majority of former Samakkhitham MPs, joined the Chat Thai
Party in July.  The Chat Thai Party won only six House seats more than
it did in the March general election.

however, the Chat Pattana Party had managed to persuade former
Samakkhitham deputy leader sompong Amornwiwat and members of his
faction to defect to its camp.

The Democrat Party performed slightly better in the North by winning
eight House seats, three seats more than it did in the March poll.

The Palang Dharma Party, which did not win any seats in the North in
the previous election, captured six seats, most in urban
constituencies.

The Democrat and Palang Dharma parties' improved performances can be
attributed to their roles in the May 17-20 crisis. Both opposed the
non-elected premier Gen Suchinda Kraprayoon although Palang Dharma's
former leader Chamlong Srimuang played the more controversial role of
leading street protests which ended in a bloody crachdown.

The New Aspiration Party, which commanded 12 House seats in the March
election, suffered a setback and won only eight.

Judging from the election results, the North is still largely under
the thumb of influential people and the politics of money is very much
alive and effective as it has been.

The May incident, which had pervasive repercussions and stumulated
political awareness among people in Bangkok, the South and other urban
centres, did not change the way northerners tend to vote.

Meanwhile, the Chat Pattana and Chat Thai parties, whose members were
blamed for failure to resist the military's attempt to perpetuate its
rule under Suchinda, will for now maintain their dominance in the
region.

I also wish to express my resentment at calling Manila drivers the worst
in the world.  It is a matter of common knowledge that that distinction
belongs to Boston, where I happen to live.  There is no other city where
drivers routinely refuse to pull over for ambulances, use their horns in-
stead of brakes, change lanes within centimeters of oncoming cars and
make u-turns in the tunnel!  Furthermore, our insurance rates, among the
highest in the world (#1 in the U.S.), substantiate that we, not the
gentle Manilenos, are the world's worst drivers.  The standard for changing
lanes on a four lane expressway here is not the use of a blinker or a
rear-view mirror, but a devout 3 "Hail Marys."

Subject:      VN: Demonstration to appeal for the release of political
              prisoners

PRESS RELEASE

From the National United Front for the Liberation of Vietnam (NUFRONLIV)

PROTEST FAST AND DEMONSTRATION TO APPEAL FOR THE RELEASE OF POLITICAL
PRISONERS IN VIETNAM

August 7, 1992

Political oppression and arrests in Vietnam have escalated despite
Hanoi's publicized "openness." To date accounts and reports have made an
estimate of 32,000 Vietnamese citizens currently held in at least 47
prisons for simply speaking their mind and supporting democracy.

These political prisoners -- to be distinct from "re-education camps
internees" whom the communist government claimed of having released all
-- come from different walks of life, professions and ages, whose names
have been rarely revealed.

Amnesty International in its June-92 report alerts the world of Vietnam's
worsening record on political arrests and appeals to the communist
government of Vietnam to uphold the rights of its citizens. This concern
is also shared by Asia Watch and numerous human rights activists.

In an effort to end political oppression in Vietnam, NUFRONLIV is
launching a worldwide campaign to pressure Hanoi to release all
political prisoners.

Appeals for support of the campaign are in progress, inviting the
participation of all freedom loving people of the world, specifically
leaders of nations and the media.

A protest fast, mass demonstration and vigil for freedom will be held at
Ralph Bunche Park (corner of 42nd Street and the U.N. Plaza) in New York
for the three days of September 10-12, 1992.

Over 100 Vietnamese organizations worldwide  will participate. Two
dozens of Vietnamese intellectuals, students, religious leaders and
political activists have volunteered for the 48-hour protest fast
beginning at 2 p.m. on September 10.

Demonstration will be held throughout the 3-day event with two vigils
for freedom on the evenings of September 10 and 11.

This rally of Vietnamese people and supporters from around the world is
to appeal to the United Nations for Vietnam's democratic cause and to
protest Hanoi's continued oppression of its citizens. A petition for the
release of political prisoners in Vietnam will be handed to the U.N.
Secretary-General.

A press conference will also be held at 1 p.m., September 10 at Ralph
Bunche Park. A preliminary list of 275 political prisoners in Vietnam
and their locations will be released to the press.
