lpv:translated text	"Mr President, five people, namely Thongpaseuth Keuakoun, Kamphouvieng Sisaath, Seng-Aloun Phenphanh, Bouavanh Chanhmanivong and Keochay, disappeared on 26 October 1999 and were probably imprisoned for holding a peaceful protest in Vientiane and calling for political changes in their country. They are all members of the Lao student movement for democracy. Their safety is feared for because of the torture and poor treatment in the prisons. The government of Laos should see the contribution of this kind of motivated person precisely as an impulse towards improvement. They must be able to contribute freely. Freedom of expression, the right of association and assembly are greatly restricted in Laos. Inflation is currently running at over 30%. The mysterious bomb explosions are damaging the largest economic factor in the country, tourism. If the government does not act soon to implement political and economic reforms then this country faces an unstable future."@en1
