Burma president visit 'sends wrong message'

Next week Burmese President Thein Sein will become the first Burmese head-of-state to visit Australia in almost 30 years.

 

But one group - Burma Campaign Australia - says the visit sends the wrong message.

 

Campaign coordinator for the activist group, Zetty Brake, says human rights abuses and lack of democracy continue in Burma.
