Mr Pinheiro hopes the Human Rights Council will take action on the lack of cooperation of the military government.
Mr Pinheiro said that the lack of information concernig the investigation of the events of September 2007 is a compelling example of the challenges to the promotion and protection of human rights in Burma.
This reflects the lack of significant steps by the Burmese government to implement the requirements set out in Human Rights Council resolution. He said that he hopes the Human Rights Council will take action on the lack of cooperation of the military government.
Mr Pinherio was allowed to visit Burma in November 2007, but he said it was not fully fledged investigation. Since then he has not been granted access to the country for a follow-up mission.
"I don't know. I can't read the thoughts of the government. The only thing that they did is that they have not invited me as the council has proposed. I think that the council must act on this issue", Mr Pihneiro said to the BBC Burmese Service.
The Council should take up the matter and if the Burmese Government does not follow the decision.
