Workers strike spreads in industrial zone in Rangoon: Riot Police deployed
Tuesday, 09 February 2010 15:48 Mizzima News

New Delhi (Mizzima) – About 2,000 workers from three factories in the Hlaing
Tharyar Industrial Zone continued their strike today, demanding better wages.
"The strike is on today but we are not aware what their demands are... Workers of
three factories are staging the strike. The policemen are from police battalions and the
Rangoon Division police force. The three factories are OPAL 2, Kyarlay and Taiyi," a
duty officer from Hlaing Tharyar police station said, adding Police Chief Maj. Gen.
Khin Yi arrived at the spot with a large contingent of police personnel. However, a
duty officer of the Rangoon Police Head office refused to answer questions on the
strike and did not confirm whether Khin Ye was at the spot.

10% of foreign workers apply for work permit renewals
BANGKOK, Feb 8 (TNA)

Only 10 per cent, or around 140,000 foreign workers whose work permits expire at
the end of February, visited Provincial Employment Offices to apply for document
renewals, according to Thailand's Foreign Workers Administration.

Foreign Workers Administration director Tanich Numnoi said all work permits and
applications for nationality verification for an estimated 1.4 million foreign workers
from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia will expire on February 28.

Cambodian workers account for the greatest number, about 1.2 million, while those
from Myanmar are around 110,000 and Lao nationals another 110,000.

Due to the closeness of the expiration date of work permits, Mr Tanich urged
employers to take their foreign employees for a check-up at hospitals in order that the
application to renew their work permits and for their nationality verification could be
filed in time.

If employers cannot comply with within 20 days, their employees will automatically
become illegal foreign workers. If found, an employer will face criminal charges of
hiring foreign labour without an official permission document.

Employers could face a fine of Bt10,000-100,000, (about US$300-3,300) and possibly

be charged with providing shelter for his/her foreign worker with the penalty of a
five-year imprisonment and a fine of not more than Bt50,000 (about US$1,500).

Meanwhile, in order to meet the end of month deadline and to assure foreign
labourers that they can apply in time, the director of the Foreign Workers
Administration said the Employment Department in mid-month will estimate the
number of foreign workers wishing to renew their work permits to consider an
extending deadline for extra work schedules of officials on weekends. (TNA)

Fear of strikes leads to factories declaring holiday
Wednesday, 10 February 2010 16:08 Min Thet
Rangoon (Mizzima) – Fear of strikes by workers spreading has forced some factory
managements in Hlaing Tharyar industrial zone to declare a holiday, an industrial
zone official said.

"The factory was closed for the Union Day holiday. This was not a holiday in earlier
years for workers though it is an official holiday in Burma. But workers used to get
overtime. We gave the Union Day holiday or else the strike will spread to all factories
here," he added.

About 1,400 workers went on strike at the Korean citizen owned Opal 2 and Mya
Fashion factories on 8 February demanding a wage hike. The strike spread to Tai Yee
and Kyarlay factories yesterday.

The military regime has ordered authorities in Rangoon Division, Township Union
Solidarity and Development Association (USDA), Fire Brigade, the police and
Labour Ministry officials to be on standby in the industrial zone.

There are over 1,700 workers in Tai Yee Footwear factory owned by Sein Oo a.k.a.
Laurein Trip (55). These workers staged a sit-in strike yesterday on U Shwe Oh Road,
outside the factory, demanding an off on government holidays, increase in daily wage
and overtime and other rights related to wages.

After the No. 3 Military Region Commander Col. Tint San and Rangoon northern
district police chief Lt. Col. Ko Ko Aung put pressure on striking workers to disperse,
some of them entered the factory and some went home.

Soon after the factory management threatened the workers that they would be fired if
they are absent for three consecutive days.

Hlaing Tharyar industrial zone is the biggest in Burma and about 50,000 to 70,000
workers are employed in many manufacturing industries like cold storages, garment
factories, foodstuffs, value-added timber works, chemical industries and household
appliances accounting for over 800 factories. But according to the management
committee of the industrial zone, just over 400 have been able to operate their
business since 2007.

Last month too, there were three labour strikes demanding better wages and labour
rights in Hlaing Tharyar industrial zone.

About 100 workers staged a strike at the Sonny footwear factory in Hlaing Tharyar
industrial zone No. 3 in early December 2009. Another labour strike took place in
Weng Hong Hung garment factory in on 14 December in the same zone and about
100 workers demonstrated at the prawn cold storage factory in Zone No. 2 on 7
January.

Rangoon Workers End Strike
By BA KAUNG Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Rangoon factory workers ended their sit-in strike on Wednesday evening after
negotiations with their employers. However, tension remains high, according to
sources in Rangoon.

The employers reportedly agreed to a 5,000-kyat (US $5) increase in salary, half the
amount the workers demanded. The strikers were demanding a pay increase of 10,000
kyat ($10) per month, a reduction of working hours and the provision of a clean
dining area.

Rangoon sources reported that the workers were staging their strike within the factory
compound, waiting for a response to their demands. The affected factories have since
been shut down.

The strike began on Monday at the Taiyi shoe factory and two other garment factories
in Rangoon's Hlaing Tharyar Industrial Zone. On Tuesday, hundreds of riot police
armed with rifles, batons and shields took up positions outside the factories.

Workers were initially warned by the police to peacefully disperse or face a violent
crackdown.

More than 80 percent of factory workers in Rangoon work on a day-to-day basis.

Most are young women between 15 and 27 years of age who come from the
countryside in search of a better life.

“This strike is a frequent occurrence,” said a Rangoon teacher. “Workers make

complaints, but their problems are rarely solved.”

In most cases of industrial dispute, a representative of the Ministry of Labor mediates

between the management and the workers to resolve issues. The mediator is
responsible for ensuring that certain minimum conditions are met, such as wages,
hours and overtime.

According to a Reuters report, there are about 130 garment factories in Burma, owned
by local and foreign companies and employing about 45,000 people.

Total garment exports during the 2008/09 fiscal year stood at $292 million, compared
with $282 million in 2007-08 and $278 million the year
earlier, the report said.

Unregistered Arakanese refugees die of starvation in makeshift camp
Tuesday, 09 February 2010 23:48
Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazaar: Thirteen unregistered Arakanese refugees have died of
starvation in Kutuapalong makeshift camp because most were unable to go outside the
camp to work for fear of arrest by authorities in Bangladesh, said a refugee from the
camp on condition of anonymity. The deaths occurred between January 10 to 15,
2010.

The dead were identified as Katiza (50), wife of late Kalu, Md. Toyub, (18), son of
Md. Zakaria, Md. Rafique (5), son of Zafar, Kalirur Rahaman (45), son of Fazar Ali,
Abdul Monaf (35), son of Ali Ahamed, Rina Akter (3), daughter of Abdur Razaka,
Asharaf Meah (50), son of Karim Uddin, Hussain Ahamed (50), son of Abdul Kader,
Hamida, Noor Mohamed, Md. Boni Amin Sultan Ahmed (45), son of Bodi Alam,
Ahamed Ullah (3), son of Fazal Meah and Md Younus (3), son of Abdu Salam. They
all belong to Kutupalong makeshift camp

The Arakanese Rohingya refugees died between January 10 to 15, 2010 after arrests
of Arakanese Rohingyas started on the border in the beginning of January 2010 by
authorities and local people. Among them, Katiza died on February 7.

According to sources, the food was insufficient. They could eat one day, but the next
two days there was no food.

According to our correspondent, many Rohingya refugees are sitting in the camp
without any work. They can’t go outside the camp to work to support their family for
fear of arrest by police, Bangladesh Rifles and local people.

In the makeshift camp, nearly 50,000 unregistered refugees are living in a critical
condition. Of them, over 50 per cent refugees will starve today, said a refugee
committee member from the camp.

A committee member Rabiual Alam from Kutupalong makeshift camp said, “I have
12 family members, my wife cooked half a kilogram of rice for my children. That is
insufficient but, it will just about save the children’s lives.”

Some refugees go to the mountain to collect firewood to sell it in the refugee camp
and cook food. Every refugee has to pay Taka 10 to the villagers who work under the
forest department, a refugee said on condition of anonymity.

On February 8, the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) of Battalion No. 42 arrested 18

Arakanese Rohingyas from different areas like Dum Dum Mea, Saparan and Shapuri
Dip under the union of Teknaf. Later, they were pushed back by BDR the same day,
said a local from Shapuri Dip.

Since January 2010, more and more Arakanese Rohingya refugees have been arrested
by authorities and local people and sent to Cox’s Bazaar jail, and their family
members are facing starvation, said a relative of the victim who is in Cox’s Bazaar jail.

If the operation against the refugees continues by the Bangladeshi authorities, more
refugees in the camps are expected to die of starvation, another camp inmate said.

MYANMAR: Livelihoods crucial to cyclone recovery
BANGKOK, 9 February 2010 (IRIN)

While thousands of survivors of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar are benefiting from

better healthcare and nutrition, complete recovery may be delayed unless livelihoods
are restored, warns a survey released on 9 February.

The review, the third since Nargis struck in May 2008, killing at least 140,000 people,
assessed the needs of people in the worst-affected Yangon and Ayeyarwady divisions
between October and November last year.

It found that focused efforts were still needed to help people with their livelihoods to
restore household self-reliance, even 18 months after the disaster.

“Unless livelihood-related needs are addressed, recovery will be prolonged, raising

the potential for another crisis,” said the Tripartite Core Group (TCG), comprising the
Myanmar government, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the
UN, which released the report.

This would include “loss of land to lenders, chronic under-employment and economic
stagnation”, it warned in a 9 February statement to mark the report’s release.

Farming, the main livelihood in Nargis-affected areas, relies heavily on capital and
access to credit, but the review said this was in short supply. At the same time, there is
a need for investment in rebuilding lives and shelters.

“Since Nargis, options for incoming earnings appear to have shrunk, sharply
impacting [on] many households’ ability to source capital for the needed rebuilding
investments,” William Sabandar, special envoy of the ASEAN secretary-general for
post-Nargis recovery in Myanmar, told IRIN.

“Credit is scarce, and some households depend on the sale of assets, borrowing,
remittances and gifts from family members. Landlessness continues to be a problem,
taking account of about 50 percent of the surveyed households,” he said.

The other area still needing attention is shelter; Nargis destroyed or damaged almost
800,000 homes. The review said that while 50 percent of shelters were judged safe,
more than 80 percent of households said their shelter was worse than before the
cyclone.

Progress report

The TCG said the third review was intended to help donors and humanitarian
agencies decide where they should now prioritize recovery efforts and assistance.
Improvements have been made in child mortality, child nutrition, the availability of
healthcare and access to clean water, states the review.

More than 90 percent of the 1,400 households surveyed said health personnel and
medication were available in healthcare facilities all or some of the time, it said.

It also noted that child mortality rates were lower in the most affected townships than
in the less affected townships, which it attributed to greater attention from healthcare
professionals.

Despite these gains, TCG members urged donors and humanitarian agencies to
continue their support.

The review “clearly demonstrates that the recovery process is moving forward, but
also that much more needs to be done in a number of areas”, said Bishow Parajuli, the
UN Resident Representative and Humanitarian Coordinator in Myanmar.

Army denies haven to Karen refugees
10/02/2010 at 12:00 AM

The army is accused of sending a group of Karen refugees back to Burma, despite
government assurances to the contrary.

Human rights activist Surapong Kongchantuek yesterday said authorities at Ban

Usutha in Tak's Tha Song Yang District had pushed back a few dozen Karen refugees
into Burma. He said this was a breach of the government's announcement last week
that there would be no repatriation of Karen refugees who fled fighting in Burma last
year.

The army had earlier prepared to send back some 1,700 refugees from both Ban Nong
Bua Khao and Ban Usutha camps last week, despite protests from human rights
activists that they would be put in danger from fighting and landmines inside Burmese
territory.

The National Human Rights commission will take up the issue today.

Challenges Remain in Cyclone Area: TCG
By SAW YAN NAING Wednesday, February 10, 2010

While there are improvements in the Irrawaddy delta region, challenges still remain,
according to a report released by the Tripartite Core Group (TCG) on Wednesday.

The TCG—comprised of the Burmese military government, the Association of

Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and the UN—was formed to assess and coordinate
the recovery effort shortly after Cyclone Nargis devastated the southwestern Burmese
region on May 2-3, 2008.

The TCG report, Periodic Review III, said that humanitarian projects have been
improved in sectors such as child mortality and child nutrition, and that there is now
better access to health care and sanitation.

Speaking with The Irrawaddy on Wednesday, Esben Q. Harboe, the special assistant
to the resident coordinator at the Office of the UN Resident/ Humanitarian
Coordinator, said, “Progress is evident. But the report shows that there are still a
number of needs in the cyclone-affected areas.”

A lack of livelihood opportunities and adequate shelter remain the two major
challenges for the cyclone survivors in the Irrawaddy delta, he said.

Many people have difficulty finding jobs and sourcing an income; recent updates
from agencies working on the ground suggest that more than 100,000 people are still
vulnerable due to lack of adequate shelter assistance, said Harboe.

Cyclone Nargis left more than 140,000 people dead or missing and some two million
people affected.

The TCG said its latest survey analyzed data collected between Oct. 22 and Nov. 17
from 1,400 households in 30 townships in Irrawaddy and Rangoon divisions.

But while some 50 percent of shelters were judged as safe, 84 percent of surveyed
households perceived their shelter as being worse than before the cyclone, according
to the report.

William Sabandar, the special envoy of the Secretary-General of Asean for post-
Nargis recovery in Myanmar [Burma], was quoted in the press release as saying:
“With unresolved challenges remaining in almost every economic sub-sector,
geographic area or demographic group as indicated in the report, it is imperative to
accelerate support from the international community to timely address those
outstanding gaps.”

Sources in the delta told The Irrawaddy on Wednesday that many cyclone survivors
are still struggling with regard to health care and farming.

One villager in Bogalay Township said that health care, especially for traumatized
people, is still needed in Bogalay. Farmers face an additional difficulty because so
many paddy fields were destroyed by rats, he said.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the Burmese authorities have slowed recovery
programs in delta areas by delaying visas and travel permits to aid workers.

Sabandar was recently quoted in Rangoon-based journal Myanmar Times as saying

that recovery projects will be delayed if visas and permits for aid workers continue to
be delayed.
International donors pledged US $90.4 million for recovery projects at the previous
conference held in Bangkok on Nov 25. Of the total pledged, $71.3 million has been
spent, Sabandar said.

Safe for Refugees to Return: Thai Gov't
By SIMON ROUGHNEEN Wednesday, February 10, 2010

BANGKOK — At a forum involving various Thai government ministries and

agencies, along with representatives of the military and international organizations, a
Thai Ministry for Foreign Affairs (MOFA) spokesperson said that Karen refugees at
Tha Song Yang camp have expressed a willingness to return to Burma.

Today's statements come despite the Thai authorities suspending plans to deport all
the refugees, once numbering over 4500, back to Burma by February 15. However, no
definitive answer was given on whether the group of refugees would stay in Thailand
or not.

MOFA spokesperson Rachanan Thananand said that the area from which the refugees
fled in June 2006 is clear of landmines, according to information received from the
Burmese side of the border.

He said that there was no indication that the fighting between the junta-aligned
Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) and the Karen National Liberation Army
(KNLA) was going to resume anytime soon. His statements were seconded by Thai
military representative Col. Phadoong Yingpibool, who said, “We speak the truth
about recent events. We would never force people to go back.”

Col Padoong said that “although I wish I could give you more information about these
issues, I have been busy with other matters recently.”

However, Guiseppe de Vicentis, the deputy regional representative of the UN High

Commissioner for Refugees, said that there is ample evidence that there are landmines
on the Burmese side.

He said that although the refugees would ultimately like to go home, they cannot do
so if the situation in Burma “has not normalized,” concluding that the conditions for
safe return have not yet materialized.

The Burmese regime has given ethnic militias until the end of February to comply
with demands that they stand down and operate as a border guard force for the state
security apparatus. The KNLA has not consented to this order, giving rise to fears that
renewed fighting looms in Burma's borderlands.

Going into more detail, a spokeswoman for the Thailand-Burma Border Consortium
(TBBC) said that at least nine people have been injured or killed by landmines in the
region since the refugees fled in June 2009.
She added that contrary to the Thai military's presentation earlier at the forum,
international representatives were prevented from accessing the Karen refugee camps
prior to the repatriation of three families last week. The Thai military claims that the
three families, who crossed back into Thailand on Tuesday morning, had initially
volunteered to go back to Burma.

The TBBC spokeswoman said that DKBA troops could be observed inside Burma,
from the Thai side of the frontier, undermining claims that the area was safe for return.
The DKBA has been accused of forced labor and conscription of Karen civilians,
since it aligned with the Burmese army. A statement given to the forum by Karen
community groups said that the DKBA extorts hefty fees from Karen who are unable
to serve as porters for the militia, which is supported by the Burmese military.

"The cost is too much, so people either work or run away," a group spokesman said.

Given the contradiction between accounts by Thai authorities and those given by
international organizations and NGOs, National Human Rights Commission chair
Prof. Amara Ponsapich suggested that international mine-clearance experts be given
access to the affected region inside Burma, to determine whether it was clear of mines
or not. She asked if the Thai authorities would facilitate this operation as best they
could from their side of the border.

Some participants asked whether a regional solution to this issue was possible.
Representing the Asean Inter-parliamentary Myanmar Caucus, Democrat member of
parliament Kraisak Choonhavan sent a message in absentia to the forum, urging that
Asean's new human rights commission get involved in addressing the issue.

However, he said that Burma's refugee exodus would not be resolved without broader
political reform and democratization within that country.

A spokesman for Thailand's National Security Council earlier told the forum that Thai
policy is first to ensure harmony and cooperation with its neighbors.

While assuring that Thailand will act in compliance with international humanitarian
law, he said that his agency must work to ensure the security of Thai civilians in the
region. He said that democratization is less of a priority than good relations, and
added, “We work with all our neighbors to ensure that border areas can develop.”

Speaking up for the atrocities in eastern Burma
Wednesday, 10 February 2010 18:28 David Calleja

(Mizzima) – Zoya Phan is the International Coordinator for Burma Campaign UK.
Her autobiography, Little Daughter: Memoir of Survival in Burma and the West, tells
of how she and her family were forced to flee their village following the Burmese
Army’s ongoing war against the ethnic Karen people. After seeking asylum in the
United Kingdom, she has defied threats against her by representatives of the Burmese
regime both in her home country and abroad. Zoya Phan conducts regular speaking
tours to inform people worldwide about the plight of the Karen and other minorities in
Burma.

DC: As a person who has survived living in the remote jungles of Burma, constantly
on the move and spending time in and out of refugee camps, how difficult was it for
you to leave your past behind and then recount the details in writing your book,
informing the world what is going on beyond the borders?

ZP: This is an emotional topic for me. I have never left my past behind because it’s
quite difficult. I always think about my life in Burma’s Karen State, living in the
refugee camps. Sometimes it comes back in my dreams at night. For many years I
have been thinking a lot about my people and the situation in my homeland because I
want to see change in my country. I want to be a part of that movement.

DC: What aspects of life in the camps and living in the jungles have left the biggest
impact on you?

ZP: I grew up in a small community in a Karen village surrounded by beautiful

mountains. As children we would swim in the river and hike into the jungle. We
would pick mushrooms, flowers and fruits. We would play with butterflies. Life was
so peaceful. But when I was just 14 years old, the Burmese Army attacked our village.
We had to leave everything behind and run for our lives to become refugees in
Thailand. Many people were put together in a small camp and we were not allowed to
go out.

For young people (in the camps) our future seemed uncertain. Our educational
prospects were limited and we were entitled to only basic healthcare. We had no ID
cards and no passports. Most of us could not go to a Thai University, school, hospital,
work or travel in Thailand. It was more like a prison.

DC: When you were recalling these experiences, did you have doubts as to whether
you should share these with your readers?

ZP: It's very important to tell the world what's going on in Burma and ask for support
from the international community in order to see positive change in my homeland. I
have come to understand more about how personal stories can touch people’s hearts
and help them take action to help the people in Burma. But the dictatorship does not
want the world to know about their brutal actions against civilians. I am lucky to be
able to have this opportunity to speak out, even though it has put me in danger. I have
survived attacks, including three attempts on my life. But sadly, my father Padoh
Mahn Sha Lah Phan was assassinated by an agent acting for the Burmese regime on
14th February 2008.

DC: You spoke at the British Conservative Party Conference in 2007 where during a
speech you held up a pair of leg shackles. What issues did you want to put directly to
the delegates with this gesture? What was going through your mind?

ZP: These shackles were smuggled out from a prison in Burma. I showed this to the
audience to describe the systematic torture used by the regime against political
activists including arrested Buddhist monks. The more I explained it, the angrier I felt
towards not only the regime but also against the international community for not
speaking up loudly enough. They know how little they have done for the people of
Burma. I am still unhappy by the response (from the international community towards
the situation in Burma). There is no global arms embargo against Burma’s
dictatorship. There is no United Nations commission of enquiries into war crimes and
crimes against humanity committed by the regime, although the U.N. itself has
accused the regime of breaking the Geneva Convention by deliberately targeting
civilians in eastern Burma.

DC: What are the stances of countries in Europe towards the Burmese regime? Is
there unanimous support for tougher sanctions?

ZP: A handful of countries like the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Ireland and
Estonia support tougher sanctions in Burma. Other EU countries are sitting on the
fence. But France has Total (Oil company), the biggest foreign investor in Burma. Its
joint venture with Burma’s dictatorship earns the military regime hundreds of millions
of dollars every year, which is spent on arms to attack civilians. France does not
prioritize human rights at the core of their foreign policy. Germany generally opposes
economic sanctions. They even argue sanctions should be relaxed. They put business
interests in Burma and other Asian countries ahead of human rights in my country.

DC: How confident are you that the recently adopted ASEAN Intergovernmental
Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) will achieve success in bringing members of
the junta to justice for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity?

ZP: The ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights does not have
relevance in Burma. It is controlled by ASEAN governments, but it doesn't even call
for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi or all political prisoners, let alone taking legal
action against the generals in Burma. Their leaders are not interested in the well being
of the people. More than 3,300 villages have been destroyed in the past 15 years in
eastern Burma alone, forcing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.
Thousands more are used as slaves, around half a million of people are displaced in
the jungle with no access to healthcare and education. The regime uses the policy of
ethnic cleansing and rape as weapons of war. Soldiers rape girls as young as five
years old.

ASEAN should join the EU, U.S., Canada and Australia in supporting a global arms
embargo and put more pressure on the junta to force them into reform.

DC: Is this offensive by the Burmese Army part of their "one blood" vision you
described in your speech in Prague on Religious, Cultural and Indigenous Rights?

ZP: The regime in Burma doesn't encourage and tolerate ethnic diversity. We have
different ethnic groups in Burma and the junta is mainly made up from the Burman
ethnic group. Their goal is to pursue a Burmanization policy where ethnic peoples are
forcibly assimilated and not permitted to have their own traditions, rights and cultures
practised or respected. In Karen State, ethnic people in cities controlled by the regime
are not allowed to learn our language and history freely. With every passing
generation, we are losing more of our identity.
DC: Let’s turn to Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy
Party. What words from Daw Aung San Suu Kyi provide you with inspiration to
continue your fight for justice on behalf of not only the Karen but for all the people of
Burma who have endured pain and isolation for so long?

ZP: Aung San Suu Kyi is a leader that people from different ethnic backgrounds can
trust, a leader who can bring unity to Burma as she has always been standing by the
peoples’ side. Her actions are stronger then her words. Her support for the
establishment of a federal Burma means so much to me personally. I dream that my
country’s future is one where everyone can live in peace and security and be treated
equally under the rule of law regardless of ethnicity, religion, race and gender.

DC: What effect do you think films such as Burma VJ and Rambo 4 have in raising
the consciousness of people worldwide regarding the situation in Burma? What extra
details, if any, could have they added?

ZP: These films are fantastic in raising awareness about what is going on in Burma.
When the media finished reporting on the 2007 Saffron Revolution, Burma VJ still
raised awareness about Burma’s situation. Those video journalists risked their lives
making sure that information got out to the world. If caught or arrested, these VJs
(video journalists) could end up in prison for 20 years.

With Rambo 4, the movie scenes reflect the real situation in eastern Burma where the
regime engages in ethnic cleansing. People know about Aung San Suu Kyi, political
prisoners, Buddhist monks and student movements. But they don’t know about what
is happening in eastern Burma, where ethnic people have been attacked by the
Burmese Army for decades. Rambo 4 raises awareness about this.

Military denies forcibly repatriating Karen
11/02/2010 at 12:00 AM

The military and two other state agencies have insisted they did not forcibly repatriate
Karen refugees from a camp in Tak to Burma.

About 3,000 Karen refugees fled to Tha Song Yang district last year and about half of
them returned home voluntarily, the army said. Currently, about 1,400-1,500 Karen
refugees are still encamped in Tha Song Yang district.

Col Noppadol Watcharajitbovorn, of the 3rd Army Region, said concerned agencies,
including representatives of Karen refugees, had met on Jan 20 to discuss a
repatriation plan.
Under the agreement, the repatriation was to last from Feb 5 until next Monday.
Around 30 Karen families would be the first group to return home. He said the 3rd
Army did not set dates for refugees to return home, it simply put into effect the
repatriation plan.

He said the military had taken photos of all Karen refugees since they entered the
country last year, staying at the Tha Song Yang, Mae Salid, Nong Bua and Mae Usu
shelters.

Natthawat Krisanamara, director of the Foreign Ministry's social division, said the
ministry had looked into allegations Karen refugees had been sent back to their
country without their consent. However, the ministry found there was no forced
repatriation.
