*************************************************************Home Minister: Human Traffickers Under Pressure

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday, January 22, 2010


2/31

RANGOON Cooperation among the countries of the Mekong River region is

putting pressure on human traffickers, a top Burmese official said.

TheMyanma Ahlin daily reported Thursday that Home Minister Maj-Gen Maung Oo

told a regional meeting that the area is no longer a "safe haven" for the traffickers due

to effective measures taken by its six countries.

He spoke Wednesday at the 7th Senior Officials Meeting for the Coordinated Mekong

Ministerial Initiative Against Trafficking COMMIT in Bagan in central Burma.

But the top UN official in Burma, Bishow Parajuli, warned the meeting that people in

Burma continue to be trafficked for the purpose of forced labor and commercial

sexual exploitation, and the country is also a transit point for trafficking Bangladeshis

to Malaysia and Chinese to Thailand.

A press release from the UN office in Burma said there are no reliable estimates on

the number of people trafficked annually from Burma, although 155 trafficking casesinvolving 302 victims were investigated in 2009, with 429 perpetrators convicted, up

from 134 cases in 2008.

The three-day meeting was attended by 135 participants from the six Mekong

countries: Burma, Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.

No taxes for workers: BurmaJanuary 22, 2010

The Burmese government will not be collecting tax from immigrant workers and

their families once their nationality has been identified, the Employment

Department's deputy director-general said yesterday.

The identification of Burmese workers has been extended by another two years and

should be completed by 2012, Supat Gukun said.

The Burmese government confirmed that no tax would be collected from immigrant

workers, he said, adding that random checks on workers returning after registeringtheir nationality in Burma found that everyone had returned to Thailand safely.

He also urged all immigrant workers, especially those from Laos, Cambodia and

Burma, to register their nationality because this way they can have a year's work

permit by February 28 and be entitled to the same welfare and protection as their Thai

counterparts.

************************************************************* Thai migrant worker policy tough on Burmese

January 22, 2010 11:03:39

The Thai Cabinet has moved to enforce tougher monitoring of more than one million

Burmese, Cambodian and Lao migrants legally working in Thailand.

Presenter: Ron Corben

Speakers: Joseph Serrani, coordinator, Burmese community centre, Thai Action

Committee for Democracy in Burma; Myint Wai, deputy director, Burmese

community centre; Panitan Wattanayagorn, Thai Government spokesman; Andy Hall,

program director, Human Rights and Development Foundation

CORBEN: At the local community centre dozen of Burmese migrant workers come

on their one day off to attend classes in areas such as English, Thai as well as

computer skills. But for many, new Thai government immigration measures

announced this week also weigh heavily. The new policy announced by the Cabinetrequires migrant workers from Cambodia, Laos and Burma, with current work

permits, to verify their nationalities. They have until February 28 to begin the process

or face the risk of deportation. The policy affects over one million Burmese migrant

workers, together with 200,000 workers from Laos and Cambodia. But while officials

from Laos and Cambodia will come to Thailand to assist their nationals, Burma's

military government has refused to allow its officials to cross into Thailand. Instead,

Burmese migrant workers must return to Burma, and for many such moves create

anxiety amid fears of harassment and extortion by Burmese officials. Joseph Serrani

is a coordinator at the centre overseen by the Thai Action Committee for Democracy

in Burma.

SERRANI: Because of past experiences of the government in Burma and the way

they've treated their people and I think so most migrants see this as another

opportunity for the government in Burma to exploit them further. I think most

migrants see this as an opportunity for the Burmese government to regularise them,

get them in the paper work and then somehow tax them.

CORBEN: Myint Wai is a deputy director at the centre. He believes many people may

hold back from participating in the process, in part because of threats of harassment

by Burmese officials.

MYINT WAI: The main problem is the people are suspect (of) the Burmese

government official inside Burma so workers are afraid to process the national

verification so your understanding is correct - now many people will not try for that

process.

CORBEN: Myint Wai says many migrant workers who do not immediately enter the

process to verify their nationality fear they will be deported. He also alleges that

families of migrant workers inside Burma are facing harassment by local officials

once they know a relative of the family is working in Thailand. But the Thai

Government says the measures are in line with national security concerns over rising

numbers of illegal migrants in the country over recent years. Panitan Wattanayagorn,the Thai Government spokesman, says the situation has become critical.


4/31

PANITAN: Over the past three years it's estimated more than three million illegal

workers have come into Thailand. I think the situation is very critical had they not

begun to implement this kind of procedures or policies. So I think the NSC, the

National Security Council, sees this as a major concern for Thai security and they

want to implement the law but of course the law has to be adjusted because we doneed also foreign workers in Thailand.

CORBEN: But human rights groups and the International Labour Organization

remain critical over the policy. Andy Hall a program director with the Human Rights

and Development Foundation says the government is pressuring the migrant workers

by setting the deadline.

HALL: It seems to be a strategy by the government to scare the migrants into

submitting their information into the process or to force them to submit their

information into the process because the government has been very clear and the

officials have been very clear in all the media announcements or publicity that if youdon't complete the process by the 28th of February 2010 you could be deported or if

you're not deported your work permit won't be renewed so you'll have to go

underground, you'll have to become informal.

CORBEN: Thai officials say they have been given assurances by government officers

from Burma the migrant workers will receive assistance when processing their

documents. The Burmese officials said any officers found extorting the migrant

workers or their families will be arrested. For Connect Asia, this is Ron Corben in

Bangkok.

************************************************************* Thailand Extends Migrant Worker Permits

By LAWI WENG Friday, January 22, 2010

The Thai government has extended two-year work permits held by 1.3 million

Burmese migrants whose permits were scheduled to expire, but migrants are required

to complete the nationality verification process by Feb. 28 to qualify for renewal.

After that date, they could be deported.

In a press release, Supat Kukhum, the deputy director of the Employment Department,

said, For migrants to benefit from the extension, they must now submit their

nationality verification forms by the Feb. 28 and also renew their work permits by that

time to be able to stay in the kingdom.

He said that if migrant workers don't meet the deadlines, they will be considered

illegal aliens and if arrested deported from Thailand.

Migrant worker advocates are concerned that the verification system will not be able

to process the estimated 1.4 million workers who must complete the process by Feb.

28. The cumbersome process requires that workers go to one of three locations inBurma to have the government confirm their Burmese citizenship.


5/31

The Thai government announced in December 2008 that migrants who have not yet

completed the nationality verification process by Feb. 28, 2010, would be deported.

Thirty-six human rights organizations in Thailand sent an open letter to Thai Prime

Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Jan 19 expressing concern about the possible mass

deportation of migrant workers if the government failed to renew work permits in anorderly way.

Rights groups say the pressing deadline could lead to a mass deportation of Burmese

migrants because many did not take part in the national verification process. There are

only about 10,000 Burmese migrant workers in Thailand who have qualified for the

new work permit passports, which require nationality verification.

According to the migrant worker groups, there are more than 2 million registered

migrant workers in Thailand. About Ninety percent are Burmese.

One group of 61,543 Burmese migrant workers have permits that expired on Jan 20.A second group of about 1.3 million Burmese workers have permits that will expire

on Feb. 28.

The rights groups said migrant workers need more time to go through the nationality

verification process.

To verify their nationality, migrant workers have to submit detailed biographical

information to the Burmese military. Burmese authorities said there is no tax involved

in the process. Many migrant workers fear for their safety and repercussions against

family members in Burma if they turn up at military government offices for the

nationality verification registration process. Burmese authorities said such fears are

groundless.

Many Burmese migrants are from minority groups such as the Mon, Karen and Shan,

and they have fled from Burmese army oppression and human right abuses.

The rights groups say the Burmese migrant community has little public information

about the national verification process and its benefit, both for migrant workers and

employers.

The right groups have called on the Burmese government to send officials to Thailandto verify migrants' nationalities in order to encourage migrant workers to register. Due

to a lack of information and awareness about the national verification process, many

migrant workers have chosen to stay away from the process.

In previous years, Cambodian and Lao governments officials have come to Thailand

to complete a similar process. However, the Burmese government has refused such

requests and wants all migrant workers to go to one of three border points

Myawaddy, Tachilek or Kawthaungfor the nationality verification registration.

Labour shortage as migrant workers quit jobs to avoid nationality ID

24/01/2010 at 12:00 AM

Migrant workers in Samut Sakhon are quitting their jobs to avoid nationality

identification, resulting in labour shortages in the province.

Somsuk Kongkachane, secretary-general of the Federation of Thai Industries, Samut

Sakhon chapter, said about 2% of the 160,000 registered migrant workers in the

province, or about 3,200 people, have quit their jobs over the issue. Samut Sakhon is

home to Thailand's largest number of migrant workers.

More than 60% of migrant workers in the province are Mon and Karen ethnic

minorities from Burma.

Their work permits are due to expire, mostly this month, and they must submit

applications for nationality verification and temporary work permits by February's

end. If they fail to do so, they would be regarded as illegal workers.

If caught, they could be arrested and deported. Observers say the nationality

verification process by Lao and Cambodian officials has proceeded smoothly.

However, in the case of Burma, the verification process has been slow.

The government initially set Feb 28 as the deadline for migrants to complete

verification process, but the cabinet on Tuesday decided to extend the deadline to Feb

28, 2012.

However, the Labour Ministry still requires migrants to apply for the verification by

Feb 28 this year.

"The workers want to continue to work, but rumours about legal punishment and

extortion make them afraid," said Mrs Somsuk.

She said the workers, who are ethnic minorities from Burma, did not want to go

through the verification process in which they have to give information about

themselves and their locations in Burma to the Burmese authorities. They fear this

information could put them and their families back home at risk.

They insisted on leaving their jobs and returning to their homes, which had led to

sudden labour shortages in the province.

Mrs Somsuk called on the Burmese government and Burmese embassy to quash

rumours and calm things down to restore confidence.

Migrant labour results in mutual economic benefits to Thailand and Burma, she added.

Wandee Sribua-iam, head of an association of employers hiring migrant workers, said

that between October and December last year, about 1,500 migrant workers had quit

their jobs to avoid entering the nationality verification process and applied for newjobs.


7/31

They left their old jobs and opted for smaller workplaces which are not the target of

checks. Some decided to return to their home in Burma, said Ms Wandee.

************************************************************* UNHCR's Mobile Registration Welcomed In Malaysia

24 January 2010

A new wave of refugee registration to be conducted in the jungle camps by UNHCR

in Malaysia has been hailed by Chin communities amid a series of continued arrests

and raids by Malaysian RELA Corps and Police.

The programme, known as Mobile Registration, is set to provide documentation to

hundreds of asylum seekers who have been living in makeshift huts in the jungle,

afraid to venture out to seek UNHCR assistance for fear of being arrested and

detained.

According to a UNHCR's announcement released last month, the UN refugee agency

has been stepping up efforts to protect 28,000 refugees and asylum seekers in the

country ahead of an expected crackdown on illegal migrants early this year.

In its recent newsletters, Alliance of Chin Refugees (ACR) said of having been

informed by the UNHCR's official after the meeting held on 13 January 2011 that

UNHCR will be carrying out the Mobile Registration between 3 February and 5March 2010.

Initiated in 2009, the Mobile Registration focuses on registering refugees in

collaboration with the community leaders.

More than 8,000 Chin refugees belonging to various Chin tribes from Burma's Chin

State are scheduled to be registered between 3 February and 24 March 2010,

according to the newsletter released today by ACR, a body comprising a total of 17

Chin community-based organisations.

ACR has also made an announcement today in its newsletter, saying the registrationwill take place only in a church, and urging each of its members to contact their

respective community leader for detailed information as well as telling of the need for

Christian conduct and morality during the registration processes.

It is estimated that about 40,000 Chin refugees and asylum seekers have stranded in

Malaysia in search of safety and security after fleeing their country, Burma where

they have for decades suffered from the brutalities inflicted by the military regime.

DISPLACEMENT AND FORCED LABOR IN KAREN STATE, BURMA

Report relayed directly from the field by FBR Relief Teams in Karen State 21 January,

2010

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

On January 17: Keh Der village in Ler Doh Township was attacked by LIB367. 10. Ten houses were burned down. 2 villagers were shot and killed

This and related attacks have now displaced 1,000 people from 10 villages inthe area.

On January 18th the Burma Army shot villagers at Hti Aw Top and capturedtwo women and one man in Mon Township

On January 19 LIB 427 from Naw Soe camp shot at villagers from Kaw HtooToe while they were harvesting bamboo, scattering the villagers. Today

(January 21) an FBR team responding to the attacks found the decapitated

body of one of these villagers.

In total, more than 2000 people have been displaced by Burma Army attacksthis week.

Dear friends,

This is an update with photos of Burma Army attacks, murders, displacement andforced labor against villagers and IDPs in Karen State, Burma. There are no large

scale offensives at this time but over 2,000 people have been displaced in attacks this

week while villagers were shot to death by Burma Army patrols. Yesterday while

doing a reconnaissance of a Burma Army camp, we saw Burma Army troops with

villagers they were forcing to carry loads for them. In every area here that the Burma

Army controls, they force villagers to carry loads and work for them.

In spite of the threat of punishment of death, the villagers attempt to avoid this work

and actively support the resistance instead. But often they cannot avoid carrying loads

for the Burma Army occupying troops.

Here 12 new FBR teams have joined the existing FBR teams in these areas and are

providing medical and other humanitarian assistance. Over 2000 patients have treated

and over 100 loads of relief materials have been distributed by the new teams. There

is now a need for more medical supplies to help those displaced by the new attacks.

(Thanks to PRAD and others who are sending more medical and food support and

thanks to PRAD and GI for help with the early warning system of radios and other

communications equipment that villagers use to warn each other and better escape

impeding attacks.)

The following are reports from the teams themselves sent to our HQ team as we move

through the three Northern and Western Karen State Districts of Toungoo,

Muthraw/Papun, and Nyaunglebin Districts. There is also one report from Dooplaya

Four porters escape from Burma Army camp

Four porters ran away from Ler Mu Plaw Burma Army camp on January 13. There

are two Shan Burman Buddhists, 30 and 37 years old from Kachin State, a 41 year old

Burman Buddhist from Daw Bo Township, and a 24 year old Shan Burman from Mo

Gout east.

The four had been imprisoned in Myitkyina prison for two years on drug trafficking

charges. They were mistreated in prison and moved to Pyinmana Cain Tha camp in

October 2008 and forced to be miners. If they fell sick or could not work, they were

beaten. They were sent on to Toungoo prison where they joined a total of 500 prisoner

porters who were then sent to the front line of fighting against the Karen National

Liberation Army.

When they got to Ler Mu Plaw camp in mid December 2009, they were forced to dig

trenches, bunkers, foxholes, and carry loads, fetch water and firewood for all the

Burma Army soldiers. They also had to carry out any Burma Army soldiers who were

injured or killed in the fighting. The four men escaped to the KNLA's 5th brigade

company from where they will travel home.

Infantry Battalion 223, based at Ler Mu Plaw, has 28 soldiers at the camp, reduced

from 45.

FBR teams in Nyaunglebin District, north west Karen state, report the Burma Army

are patrolling in the villages around the Burma Army camps and stocking up on food

and horses.

Other Burma Army Activity:

Burma Army situation at Ler Mu Plaw Camp

Now the IB 223 is at Ler Mu Plaw Camp. On top of the camp there are 23 soldiers,

the middle of the hill 5 soldiers and there are no soldiers in the bottom. The troops

have 4 artillery, one RPG 7, and 1 machine gun. In the very beginning the size of the

troops was 45 soldiers, but now they are only 28 soldiers. The soldiers are very afraid.

During night security one man takes 3 places and rings a bamboo bell every hour and

another soldier takes his place.

Situation in Ler Klah village tract, Hti Kgo village

Today we received news that the Burma Army from Hti Ler Baw Ta and Koplalay Ko

camps are patrolling. People here are worried about this. At Hti Ler Baw Hta camp

the Light Infantry Battalion 370 arrived. All area IDPs are on alert.

On 12th of January the Burma Army sent 27 food trucks and 70 horses from Hsaw

Me Lu to Muthe Camp and continued on to Paw Kay Ko camp.

20January; Mone Township: Villagers form Yulo village forced to carry loads from

Hti Mu Hta (Moebya) Burma Army camp to Lay Day Camp. We saw the troops and

porters through an opening in the trees but could not get a good photograph.

Dooplaya District, South Central, Karen State

Build up of Burma Army- two more divisional sized units arrive

Report on 18.1.10

Before 9 January in Dooplaya district there was only one Burma Army Military

Operations Command (MOC). A MOC is a divisional sized unit with 10 battalions.

They usually operate with 7 battalions forward and three in their base area. MOC 12

has been operating in Dooplaya District but now on 9.1.10 the Burma Army has

reinforced MOC 12 with two new MOCs-MOC 19 and MOC 8. The reported purpose

of the increased Burma Army presence in this area is to control the Mon State armed

resistance groups that do not want to become a border guard force for the Burma

Army. The second reason is to clear out the KNU (Karen National Union) from

Dooplaya District. The Burma Army also uses the DKBA (Democratic Karen

Buddhist Army), a Karen proxy force of the Burma Army, to fight the KNU. The

Burma Army is sending more supplies than normal and are also including food for the

DKBA. (Note: Some DKBA units report they do not actually receive the food

supplies.)

15.1.10 South Eastern Command called Karen Peace Force, Karen Nation Union, and

Democratic Buddhist Army for a meeting in Mah Lah May. The meeting is about

becoming the border guard force but no group has responded yet as to whether or not

they will take on this role and surrender their arms to the Burma Army.

FBR Team Activity report:

This is an excerpt of a report from one of the teams and is an example of how the

teams report to us in the field

On 18th January, 2010 the team provided help, medical care, and did a GLC program

at Hti Kgo. About 300 people came and over 150 people treated. The teams gave out

children's packages GLC T-shirts, Bibles, hymnals, and Lego toys to the children and

the church. The teams did interviews of some people and a pastor.

Today we left Hti Kgo and spent a night at Tawawpu. There the teams providedmedical care and gave out mosquito-nets to the IDPs. There are 18 houses with about


13/31

100 people. The teams treated about 60 people. Most of the patient's issues were

coughing, ARI, and malaria.

On January 18 at 2:40 PM a group of Villagers from Aung Soe Moe village went to

their farm in the jungle. This is not allowed under SPDC control. However, it is what

all villagers have to do to survive; they grow their rice and other crops in the jungle.So they went to their farm anyway and on their way home LIB 370 under Military

Operation Command 10, shot them. Now three villagers are missing, two men and

one woman. Nobody knows what happened to them, but they are feared dead.

January 19. Light Infantry Battalion 367, under Military Operation Command 10

attacked Htu Gaw Soe village. Before they arrived at the village, at 1:05PM they saw

Saw E Moo on their way close to Htu Gaw Soe village and shot and killed him. He

was 40 years old and has a wife and 5 children.

Right now 10 villages are hiding in the jungle, this is approximately 1000 people.

They have limited food. They are fleeing and hiding in the jungle.

Now LIB 427 patrol has arrived at Naw Htee Kaw area (near Saw Wa Der area).

Villagers from Saw Wa Der, Yer Lo, Ho Htoo Toe, and May Daw Ko villages all fled

into the jungle and are currently living in hiding sites. Our teams are now at Klaw Ki

village, Saw Ka Der village tract. The team provides medical help during the day andwill continue.

Thank you for your help, advice and prayers. God bless you, the

Combined Ler Doh, new Karen, Karenni, and Kayan FBR teams.

Friday, 22 January 2010 KNG

The students and faculty of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) from

Sydney, Australia are providing training on advocacy, livelihood, counseling andhuman rights education to Burmese refugees in New Delhi, India, from Friday.

The leader of the trainers Dr. Eileen Pittaway, the Director of the Centre for Refugee

Research of UNSW told Kachin News Group, they are trying to present the issue of

Burmese refugees in New Delhi to the international community and giving them

training on how to manage their livelihood, human rights and how to counsel each

other on the harassment they are facing.

This training will be the fourth time here in New Delhi, India, said Dr. Pittaway.

The purpose is whatever the groups here want not what we want.

She said they came on the request of the refugees but not only for training. They can


14/31

also deliver the message from the refugees to the United Nation in Geneva and other

countries.

We have been coming here for five years to work with the group, at first just with the

womens groups. They have invited us to come back more often because they want

the training, added Dr. Pittaway.

We are privileged to go to the United Nations, where we can take the message of the

refugees, which they cannot because they dont have money and visa, said Dr.

Pittaway who has been providing training to different ethnic groups from Burma since

1993.

The training started from Friday divided into four groups among the 50 participants

with 21 trainers mainly discussing and training on the subjects of Response to

Violence against Women, Counseling, Livelihood and Income Generation and

Advocacy.

It is disappointing that the protection refugees are promised by the refugee laws and

by human rights laws is not fully enjoyed by refugees in India, said Dr. Pittaway.

The participants are happy with the training where they get a lot of help for their

livelihood and can express their problems in front of the international community and

the UN headquarters directly through the group.

It really helps us not only for more awareness about human rights and how to

manage our lives but also because we can talk of our struggles and the situation here

to the international community, said Ms. Lum Nan, coordinator of Burmese Women

Delhi (BWD), who is part of the training from 2007.

We are really happy to have this programme again because a lot of things are

changing (such as getting more help) in our lives after the training, added Lum Nan.

Mai Za Sung of the Chin Women Union (CWU) said she learnt a lot of necessary

things as refugees living in another country and the program helps them to present

their problems.

The Dr. Pittaway said the trainers, who are from UNSW, include three academic staff,

one part time academic staff, a service provider who runs a big resettlement servicefor the refugees who go to Australia, 16 master degree students, who have paid for

themselves for the trip and the training.

According to a UN report in 2009 December, there are more than 12,440 refugees

recognized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in

India and 6,600 asylum-seekers registered with UNHCR. The largest groups are from

Afghanistan while 2,952 are from Burma.

However tens of thousands of unregistered Burmese refugees, a majority from Chin

tribes are living in Mizoram State in Northeast India.

************************************************************* MYANMAR: Chin children vulnerable to disease

MINDAT, 22 January 2010 (IRIN)

In the mountains between Mindat and Madupi towns in Myanmars remote Chin State,

45-year-old Mo Reen is searching for orchids to sell during the cold season.

Her husband, meanwhile, works the land for their slash-and-burn farm in Mindat

Township, about an hour away. Their children, aged six, eight and 11, are left alone at

home.

"When we were young, we were left by our parents, the way we leave our children

now," Mo Reen said. "The eldest of the siblings takes care of the younger ones, while

the parents are away working. It's traditional here."

But without proper care, her barefoot children run around unwashed and unkempt.

Agencies say a lack of awareness about childrens health issues in Chin State,

Myanmars poorest, is leaving them vulnerable to infectious diseases, some of them

deadly.

"Most Chin parents, especially in the remote areas, lack knowledge, not only about

personal hygiene, but also about the health of their children," said Syed Shah Miran,

the project health coordinator for Chin State with Merlin, a medical NGO.

Poverty and low levels of literacy contribute to the lack of information, while there is

a need for more health awareness-raising campaigns in the states isolated, hilly areas,

he said.

Because of this lack of knowledge among parents, their children are very vulnerable

to infectious diseases such as malaria, said Syed Shah Miran.

Common ailments

According to the Canada-based Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO)tuberculosis, typhoid, malaria, HIV, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, diarrhoea and

stomach problems are common ailments in Chin State, home to some 500,000 people

and nestled along the border with India.

A health worker from the Department of Health said most illiterate parents did not

know how to protect their children against common diseases.

Its very clear that they don't know how to keep themselves clean and healthy, [nor]

do they know how to care for their children and keep them from being infected with

diseases that could kill them, the health worker said on condition of anonymity.


16/31

There is no data available on the mortality rate and causes of death in under-fives in

Chin State, according to the UN Childrens Fund (UNICEF).

However, it is assumed that causes of child mortality are similar to other states,

UNICEF says, including infectious diseases, especially pneumonia, diarrhoea and

malaria.

The most recent joint UNICEF and government Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey in

2003 showed a higher rate of malnutrition among under-five children in Chin State

than the national average.

Chronic malnutrition-stunting among under-fives in Chin State is 36.5 percent,

compared with the national average of 32.2 percent.

At the same time, acute malnutrition among under-fives in Chin State is 8.7 percent,

against the national average of 8.6 percent.

Chin advocacy groups say malnutrition and chronic food insecurity have worsened

since 2007 due to the destruction of crops by a rat infestation.

Challenges to raising awareness

To educate Chin people on the importance of healthcare, international agencies and

the Ministry of Health are conducting awareness campaigns. However, there are

challenges in Chin State such as accessibility, health experts say.

One of the challenges is difficult access to its mountainous terrains, especially during

the rainy season," Osamu Kunii, UNICEF Myanmars chief of health and nutrition,

told IRIN.

Villagers have difficulty accessing health providers and facilities, while getting health

providers to communities is a problem, he said.

There are only 12 hospitals and 56 doctors for the population, and just four viable

roads in the state, according to a January 2009 Human Rights Watch (HRW) report.

In addition, there are restrictions in terms of data collection and sharing.

Officials also say they face difficulties in convincing parents of the importance of

health education. Persuading parents to come and join awareness-raising campaigns

is quite challenging for us as theyre busy farming, said the government health

worker.

Most people in Chin State are subsistence farmers and live hand-to-mouth.

"I'm sorry that I cannot spend time with my children," said Lin Htan, 31, while she

worked with her husband to prepare their farm in southern Mindat Township. "Its

because day in and day out, I'm busy finding food for them."

Her eldest child, aged seven, has been left at home to take care of his younger brother


17/31

and sister. Lin Htan said she worried about her children being infected with malaria or

other fatal diseases, but she had no time or opportunity to act on it.

************************************************************* Rights group concerned over Thai policy on refugees, migrants

Friday, 22 January 2010 15:31 Usa Pichai

Chiang Mai (Mizzima) Deteriorating human rights records is in evidence in

Thailand given the countrys policy on migrant workers and refugees, the Human

Rights Watch said in its World Report 2010.

The HRW released a 612-page report on Wednesday, the organization's 20th

annual

review of human rights practices around the globe. It evaluated the situation in

Thailand, and said that the government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva had

largely failed to fulfill its pledges to make human rights a priority.

Brad Adams, Asia Director of Human Rights Watch said while Prime Minister

Abhisit sometimes said the right things about human rights in 2009, his actions didn't

match his words. "The government continually undermined respect for human rights

and the due process of law in Thailand."

Abhisit's government blatantly flouted Thailand's obligations under international law

to protect refugees and asylum seekers, the group said.

The expression of the hostile policy towards refugees and asylum seekers, was inevidence in January 2009, when in his capacity as chairman of the National Security

Council, Abhisit approved a directive authorizing the military to intercept boats

carrying ethnic Rohingya from Burma and Bangladesh.

The Thai Navy subsequently intercepted several boats transporting Rohingya and

towed the rickety vessels back to the ocean with inadequate supplies of food and

water. While Thailand is not a party to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of

Refugees or its 1967 Protocol, the Thai government has an obligation under

international law of nonrefoulement (non-return) of persons to places where their life

or freedom is at risk.

"Prime Minister Abhisit did not honour his pledge to uphold human rights principles

and international law in 2009," Adams said. "Getting Thailand back on track as a

rights-respecting nation in 2010 is crucial both for the country and the region."

The Thai government gave the green signal to the army to deport more than 4,600 Lao

Hmong refugees and asylum seekers on December 28, despite international concerns

including that of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the UN

Secretary-General.

HRW also noted the failure to act against official abuses by the police. Despite the

government's strong opposition to the violent approach to drug eradication by theexiled former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, it remained unwilling to bring to


18/31

justice officials allegedly responsible for more than 2,500 unresolved extrajudicial

killings and serious abuses committed during Thaksin's 2003 "war on drugs" and the

ongoing drug suppression operations by the police.

At the local level, the government continued to ignore systemic police violence and

extortion targeting the over two million migrant workers from Burma, Cambodia, andLaos, HRW noted.

In addition, the other human rights backslide in Thailand are the growing crackdowns

on protesters and other political critics, including intensive surveillance of the internet

and a failure to curb abuses by security forces in response to the longtime insurgency

in the south.

************************************************************* Karen Villagers Forced to Hide in Jungle

By SAW YAN NAING Saturday, January 23, 2010

MAE SARIANG More than 1,000 Karen villagers from ten villages in Nyaunlebin

District in Pegu Division fled their homes on Jan. 17 and are still hiding in the jungle

due to Burmese government army attacks, according to a Karen relief group.

The villagers, including women and children, lack sufficient food, medical care and

other basic necessities, according to the Committee for Internally Displaced Karen

People (CIDKP), a Thailand-based nongovernmental organization.

It is very cold in the jungle right now, and they dont have enough blankets, said

Saw Steve, a CIDKP team leader. To make matters worse, they are afraid to light

fires at night because they don't want to be seen by the Burmese army.

If they are forced to stay in the jungle much longer, they will also run out of food,

he added.

The Burmese troops active in the area are from Light Infantry Battalion 367 under

Military Operation Command 10. On Jan. 17, government troops gunned down a

villager, Saw Mya Kaw Htoo, 47, in the village of Keh Der and burnt down 11 houses,including one school hostel in the same village.

Some troops belonging to the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA), a Karen

breakaway group, are also active in the area, operating gold mines in in Shwegyi and

Kyaukgyi Townships in Nyaunlebin District, according to a source close to the

DKBA in Mae Sot, on the Thai-Burmese border.

Some villagers also lost their land due to gold mining operations run by DKBA troops,

said Karen sources.

After DKBA and Burmese troops overran the headquarters of Karen NationalLiberation Army (KNLA) Brigade 7 in June 2009, the joint force unsuccessfully


19/31

attempted to take over areas controlled by KNLA Brigade 5 in Papun District in

northern Karen State by September 2009.

About 4,000 Karen villagers fled to Thailand due to the attacks launched by the joint

force last year.

Some of the villagers are now being pressured by Thai authorities to return to Karen

State, where they face forced labor and forcible recruitment into the DKBA. There is

also a risk posed by landmines planted in and around their villages during the fighting

between the KNLA and the joint force of Burmese and DKBA troops.


************************************************************* Karen flee Burma army attacks

24/01/2010 at 04:53 PM

Aid groups on Sunday expressed concern for more than 2,000 ethnic Karen villagers

hiding in the eastern Burma jungle after they fled their homes to escape attacks by

government soldiers.

The exodus took place in the past week as Burma's army shot and killed three

villagers, burned down homes and forced a number of people into labour, according

to humanitarian group Free Burma Rangers (FBR).

"There are no large-scale offensives at this time but over 2,000 people have been

displaced in attacks this week while villagers were shot to death by Burma Armypatrols," said a statement from FBR, which uses the country's former name.

Similar army crackdowns in recent years in the eastern region, where the ruling junta

has been battling Christian-majority Karen rebels for decades, have forced huge

numbers of villagers to flee their homes.

Tens of thousands of these refugees live in camps across the border in Thailand but

those displaced this week are hiding in the Burma jungle, according to the Committee

for Internally Displaced Karen People (CIDKP), an aid group.

"They could not bring many materials, especially blankets, and now the cool season isvery cold and they do not light fires because if the (army) see them they will be shot,"

said Saw Steve of the Thailand-based CIDKP.

"If the (army) operation still goes on they will be in trouble. If they have to hide in the

jungle there will be health problems," he said, confirming that around 2,000 villagers

had fled and could run out of food.

Analysts say the junta wants to rid the country of the last vestiges of activity by ethnic

insurgents, who seek greater autonomy, before holding national elections promised

some time this year.


20/31

Around 4,000 villagers escaped to Thailand in June when the regime stepped up its

campaign against the Karen rebels, one of the few remaining ethnic insurgent groups

yet to sign a peace deal with the junta.

In August thousands of refugees poured across the border into China from the

northeast of Burma, after deadly clashes between junta forces and ethnic Chineserebels.
