    Teknaf, Bangladesh: A refugee was arrested by camp police for repairing TVs, radio,

    and mobile phones in the camp, said a relative of the victim.

    The victim is Kala Meah (27), son of Zalal Hussain, MRC # 1959, Shed # 1035 and

    Room # 5 of Nayapara refugee camp, Coxs Bazaar in Bangladesh. He is an

    electrician and also a student. He earns some money by repairing electrical goods inthe camp.

    On March 22, at about 9:30 pm, police providing security to refugees entered the

    victims shed, arrested and brought him to the police barracks near the refugee camp

    along with his tools. There he was tortured severely.

    The police demanded Taka 5,000 for his release. But, the victim was unable to pay as

    he was very poor. So, he was sent to the camp-in-charge, said a friend of the victim.

    The next day morning, a group of refugee committee members went to the camp-in-

    charge to get him released. The camp officer released him, after scolding the victim,telling the refugee committee members that they did not comply with the rules and

    regulations of the police. But, the tools of the victim were not returned.

    Besides, the police also arrest all the refugees they meet at the gate of the camp when

    the refugees return to the camp after working outside without permission from the

    authorities. They are released after taking Taka 500 to 1,000 per head. Refugees are

    not allowed to go out of the camp to work, said a refugee committee member, who

    declined to be named.

    Police also enter the camp at about 9:00 pm, and arrest all the refugees they meet

    outside the sheds and release them after beating them up. It is injustice to keep

    refugees inside the sheds during the hot nights, said a woman refugee from the camp.

    A refugee leader from the camp said, The weather is very hot and the hut is also very

    small, so the refugees go out of their sheds at night and sit in front of the sheds in the

    camp. Is that a crime?

    A refugee committee member on condition of anonymity said, It is similar to Burma.

    We are kept inside the camp and have no activity. Like Nasaka (Burmas border

    security force) and army in Burma, police in Bangladesh arrest us illegally and extort

    money.

    ************************************************************* Repeated Patterns of Assaults on Refugees in Delhi Reignite New Security

    Concerns

    24 April 2010

    A series of recent violent assaults on Chin refugees by local Indians in New Delhi has

    raised heightened concerns for the safety of refugees from Burma stranded in thecapital city of India.

  • 8/9/2019 29Apr10 News on Migrants & Refugees- 29April, 2010 (English & Burmese)

    A Chin refugee, Mr. Zo Ram Thang, was last Wednesday hit on his head from behind

    with bricks or stones by unknown locals near Sitapuri Bazaar while he was going out

    with his under-six-year-old two daughters to fetch a bucket of water from a public

    water bolehole around 8pm.

    "He was unconscious for about 10 minutes and his two children were petrified,

    crying out loud in tears. No one came out to help him even though there were many

    people around. Finally, three Chin refugees passing by the street found and took them

    home. He was taken to the DDU hospital at midnight and back to his house around

    4am after receiving necessary medication," said Plato Van Rung Mang of CHRO

    (Chin Human Rights Organisation) based in Delhi.

    Zo Ram Thang and his family arrived in New Delhi in 1999 and have been recognised

    as refugees by the UNHCR.

    Another Chin refugee Moses Han Sein was last Monday attacked, beaten up and leftunconscious on the ground near Jeewan Park, Uttam Nagar of west Delhi while he

    was on his way back from work to sleep over at his friend's house around 9pm.

    The 45-year-old from Falam Township, Burma was first stopped and teased by four

    local men who were later joined by about 30 locals during the attack. The local

    Indians ran away after emptying his pocket, with about 200 Rupees in it.

    "The next morning, he [Moses Han Sein] came to my house and told me about the

    incident. I gave him 200 Rupees as he has got no money left at that time. Presently, he

    has no shelter, no food and one of our friends Mr. David is temporarily looking after

    him in his house. Since he cannot, after the incident, continue his work at a restaurant

    where he was given accommodation, he has got no place to stay," said Ro Mawi,

    President of Chin Refugee Committee in New Delhi, India.

    Moses Han Sein was said to have received treatment at a hospital with the help of

    UNHCR's local partner, a Delhi-based NGO called the Social and Legal Information

    Centre (SLIC).

    Late last month, a Chin refugee woman and mother of two small children, Sui Tin

    Lem, was brutally beaten up by a group of four local Indians in New Delhi in a failed

    attempt to sexually assault her. The violent beating occurred on the evening of March29 in Citapuri neighborhood of west Delhi as the 32-year-old mother was returning

    home from work at around 7:00 pm local time.

    Ms. Sui Tin Lem was on the way to her house after separating from two other co-

    workers when four local Indians accosted her and started teasing her. When she

    started resisting, two of the men grasped her hands while the other two tried to

    sexually assault her. As she tried to struggle, her assailants smashed her with a rod

    across the face, leaving her with severe injuries to her face.

    Recent incidents have sent shockwave across the refugee community, sparking

    renewed fears for the safety of refugee women living in Delhi.

    "The Chin are unsafe in Burma and unprotected in India, but just because these abuses

    happen far from Delhi and Rangoon does not mean the Chin should remain 'forgotten

    people'," said a recent report by Human Rights Watch that has called for better

    treatment for the Chin and for Chin refugees who arrive in India.

    "The incidents prove that so many local people are seeking the opportunity to steal,tease, assault and rob everywhere. We are in an absolute difficult situation financially

    and legally. Some upper class and educated people are so kind to us, however most of

    the people under poverty line are a threat to us. There is so much risk of staying even

    for a short period in this city, and we are not safe here," remarked Ro Mawi.

    Out of an estimated 60,000 Chin refugees currently living in India after flee ing

    military-ruled Burma in search of refuge and safety, there are about 6,000

    stranded only in New Delhi, with about half already registered as refugees by the

    UNHCR.

    his house and was shot immediately, without any questions asked. The soldiers then

    cut off his left hand and tied a chain around his right leg. His daughter was hit in the

    right leg in this same shooting and is currently receiving treatment in the brigade

    hospital.

    ************************************************************* Mon Refugees Arrive in Hlokhani

    By LAWI WENG Monday, April 26, 2010

    A group of 400 Mon refugees recently arrived at the Hlokhani Mon refugee camp on

    the Thai-Burma border, the camp's first new Mon arrivals since the 1995 cease-fire

    agreement between the New Mon State Party (NMSP) and the Burmese militaryregime.

  • 8/9/2019 29Apr10 News on Migrants & Refugees- 29April, 2010 (English & Burmese)

    5/27

    Nai Banya Aein, a spokesman for the Mon Relief and Development Committee

    (MRDC), told The Irrawaddy on Monday, The refugees came from different

    resettlement sites in the Bee Ree area, which is near the NMSP headquarters.

    The people are staying at the school and Buddhist temple in the Hlokhani camp,

    Banya Aein said. Right now they have difficulties with food, water, sanitation, andaccommodation. It is especially difficult to get water in Hlokhani during this time.

    Banya Aein said there will be more refugees coming to the camp if the situation in

    Mon state deteriorates and additional arrivals will exacerbate the current difficulties in

    housing and feeding refugees.

    We're collecting data on the new arrivals to make proposals to the donors. There are

    some people still comingthey are on their way, he said.

    The Thai border authorities have tightened border security near the Hlokhani camp

    recently blocking refugees from crossing into Thailandand have caused problemsfor relief operations being launched from the Thai side of the border.

    We have a difficult time providing help to the people because we first have to ask

    permission from the Thai border authorities and then wait to get travel permits to the

    border, Banya Aein said. However, some NGOs were able to go and offer food to

    the people yesterday.

    Hlokhani, along with Bee Ree and Tavoy camps, is one of three resettlement sites

    under the NMSP liberated area in Mon State. About 10,000 Mon refugees have lived

    in the camps since 1995, when they were displaced by the war and never returned

    home after the cease-fire.

    Since the cease-fire, refugees have cultivated their own farms, including rubber and

    and fruits trees, and refugees export their produce to Ye township in Mon State,

    providing a main source of income.

    Refugee sources said that many people do not want to leave the camp because they

    don't want to abandon their farms. Some people fear, however, that if war breaks out

    they will be forced to move either to Ye township or camps near the Thai-Burma

    border.

    Hlokhani camp is located near Three Pagodas Pass, where Burmese junta troops are

    based, so it is not considered safe by the refugees. In 2004, junta troops approached

    the camp, and residents believe that if war breaks out junta troops could easily invade.

    This may soon become a reality, because the situation between the military regime

    and the Mon people is becoming increasingly tense.

    The NMSP announced on Friday that they rejected the border guard force (BGF)

    proposal of the Burmese regime, and the regime reportedly will declare illegal all

    ethnic cease-fire groups who fail to join the BGF by April 28.

  • 8/9/2019 29Apr10 News on Migrants & Refugees- 29April, 2010 (English & Burmese)

    6/27

    NMSP sources said the partys leadership is meeting in the jungle to discuss their next

    moves if they are declared illegal and the regime launches a military assault,

    especially how to run the party for long-term survival, where to build new bases, how

    to fight the regime and how to set up an underground resistance network.

    NMSP offices located inside Burma have already suspended operations and Montroops have moved back to their jungle bases and been put on high alert to guard

    against what could be an immanent attack by junta troops.

    About 300 Mon troops are on standby in Palanjapan village, near Three Pagodas Pass,

    one of twelve main NMSP bases that junta troops are not allowed to enter under the

    terms of the cease-fire agreement.

    Lawi Mon, a Mon soldier based in Palanjapan village, told The Irrawaddy, Our

    leader told us to fire on them [government troops] if they enter our area.

    They told us to be prepared for an attack on April 28, he said.

    Differences of opinion exist on whether the Mon will fight the regime.

    Nai Tin Aung, a former NMSP executive member, said, The Mon people are not

    interested in any fight. Poverty is their main problem. The community is getting

    poorer. Many of them are going to work in Thailand.

    However, Nai Kasauh Mon, the director of the Human Rights Foundation of Monland,

    said, Eighty percent of Mon people support the NMSP and would fight. Only 20

    percent don't want to fight.

    The Burmese authorities have accused Nai Hang Thar, the NMSP secretary, of

    soliciting donations from Mon living abroad to set up a Mon splinter group to fight

    the regime.

    Sources said that last year Mon people living inside and outside Burma gave the

    NMSP millions of kyat to support any future battle against junta troops, and there are

    more people willing to fund a war but waiting to see whether the NMSP decides to

    fight before sending money.

    Many Mon were against the 1995 cease-fire agreement, but the NMSP convinced theMon to try a political compromise with the regime.

    In 2003, the NMSP joined the national convention, where it proposed that the junta

    create a federal union of Burma. The junta turned down the NMSP proposal, and in

    2007 the party only sent observers to the national convention.

    NMSP leaders have said the new 2008 Constitution is undemocratic and contains no

    ethnic rights.

    New Delhi becomes unsafe for Burmese refugees

    4/26/2010

    Nava Thakuria: The Indian capital city has increasingly become an unsafe place for

    the Burmese refugees. In the recent past, three incidences of attack on Burmese were

    reported. As the victims are identified as Chin, a major community of Burma, theChin Refugee Committee has taken the pain to lodge FIR in the local police station.

    The last attack by miscreants on Chin people took place on April 23, when Fung Ling

    was targeted on his way to residence at around 6.30 in the evening at Uttam Nagar of

    Delhi. Mr Ling, 37, is a recognized refugee (UNHCR No.08IND01388) in India and

    he was challenged by two youths on motorbike.

    Mr Ling replied that he could not follow Hindi language. Meanwhile, a fellow Chin

    (Burmese) refugee, Than Sang approached and tied to intervene that Ling did not

    understand Hindi. But Than Sang (UNHCR No.08IND01410) received a slap from

    one of the two bikers.

    The situation turned worse, as the youths started beating both the refuges. Ling was

    hit by a brick on his head and he got fainted. Then arrived another refugee Van Lal

    Lian (UNHCR No.08C00279) and more other people at the location and it was finally

    over.

    We have lodged an FIR (MLC. 7715) at Bindapur police station, Uttam Nagar

    regarding the assault to Fung Ling and other, informed Ro Mawi, president of

    Chin Refugee Committee, India. Speaking to this writer from New Delhi, he however

    expressed dissatisfaction that the doctors examining the victims had reported only

    simple injuries to them.

    Mentionable that Fung Ling and his family (wife and five minor children) arrived in

    New Delhi in 1998. They are now working as daily wage earner to earn at the most Rs.

    2,000 per month.

    Similarly, Than Sang and Van Lal Lian with their families also arrived in New Delhi

    in the same year.

    Earlier another assault case was reported from Sitapuri in the same locality where

    another Chin refugee, Zo Ram Thang (BU-491) was targeted by the unidentifiedmiscreants on April 21. Zo Ram Thang and his family arrived in New Delhi in 1999

    and they are surviving with a very few amount of money earned as private factory

    workers.

    ************************************************************* Police seize loudspeakers from refugee camps

    Monday, 26 April 2010 16:10

    Teknaf, Bangladesh: On April 23, policemen providing security to the refugees ofNayapara camp seized Loudspeakers from the camp used since over the last three

  • 8/9/2019 29Apr10 News on Migrants & Refugees- 29April, 2010 (English & Burmese)

    8/27

    years in the camp to preach religious sermons to refugee women and girls by religious

    leaders, said a refugee committee member.

    On Fridays and Thursdays of every week, some of the religious leaders from the camp

    preach religious sermons to women.

    However, yesterday, policemen led by a sub-inspector newly appointed entered the

    refugee camp and seized all Loudspeakers while preaching was on to the refugee

    women and girls without any warning. They also beat up some of the refugee women

    in the camp.

    The police said that religious preaching with Loudspeakers is not allowed in the camp,

    but it is allowed without it, said another refugee from the camp.

    The camp officer was told by the refugees to resolve the problem. But, the camp

    officer also said that religious preaching in the camp with Loudspeakers is not

    allowed. The seized Loudspeakers were not returned.

    Besides, yesterday also a sub-inspector entered the camp with arms accompanied by

    some police and arrested some of the refugees whom they met outside the shed in the

    camp and brought them to their police barrack. They were released after taking money.

    They have never entered the camp with guns earlier, a woman refugee from the camp

    said.

    A refugee elder asked, How can we stay peacefully in the camp with such

    harassment by police?

    ************************************************************* Refugees Beaten Up in Delhi For Language Difficulties

    26 April 2010

    A Chin refugee father, Fung Ling, and his two friends who offered to assist in

    speaking Hindi were battered and struck with bricks by two local Indian bikers in

    Chanakya Place, Uttam Nagar of New Delhi, India around 6pm last Friday, 23 April

    2010.

    While walking on their way back from visiting a sick relative, Fung Ling, 37, and his

    wife were stopped and talked to by the two local men on their bike. Knowing Mr.

    Fung Ling has got difficulties in speaking and understanding Hindi, Than Sang who

    came voluntarily to give assistance in communication was slapped on his face by the

    Indian man sitting in tandem.

    "The two men talked to Fung Ling and he simply replied he didn't understand Hindi.

    When his Chin friend Than Sang asked if he could help at all, the man sitting behind

    slapped on his face. Then, both of them got off the bike and started attacking them.

    But Fung Ling and Than Sang did not fight back," said a document by Delhi-basedChin Refugee Committee (CRC).

  • 8/9/2019 29Apr10 News on Migrants & Refugees- 29April, 2010 (English & Burmese)

    9/27

    Fung Ling, a father of five under 12 years old, was said to have been hit on the back

    of his head with bricks and collapsed unconsciously while his friend Mr. Than Sang

    was severely beaten up and left bleeding. Another Chin refugee, Van Lal Lian, who

    emerged from the crowd that offered no help to the victims, was also attacked when

    he was seen making a phone call.

    One of the two Indian men, thought to be about six foot tall, grabbed Lian's mobile

    phone and smashed it to pieces.

    CRC's report said: "When the victims knew that the two men were not going to stop

    fighting them, they fled to the nearby refugee house and locked the door. Still, the

    attackers came after them up to the door and shouted at them. When they were unable

    to open the door, they finally went away from the place."

    Seriously injured and bleeding, the three Chin victims were after about an hour taken

    to the DDU Hospital where they received treatment.

    Burma Centre Prague last month sent an open letter to New Delhi-based UNHCR

    following a series of recent incidents facing the Chin refugees in India, calling for

    providing a safety and legal protection of Burmese refugees living in India and

    immediate support for the victims.

    The Chin refugee victims and their families were said to have arrived in India in 1998

    after fleeing military-controlled Burma in search of safety and refuge.

    No legal action has yet been taken against the offenders.

    ************************************************************* Hundreds of Refugees Arrested In Recent Raids In Malaysia

    27 April 2010

    Malaysian authorities have recently launched a series of crackdowns on immigrants,

    arresting hundreds of Chin refugees stranded in Malaysia, including children and

    pregnant women.

    An estimated 500 Chin refugees have remained in detention camps, with 'unknown'

    numbers in locked up jail, following recent measures of cracking down on illegal

    immigrants by RELA Corps, Malaysian Police and Immigration.

    "Chin refugees are being arrested on a daily basis. It is difficult to know the exact

    numbers. Those holding UNHCR registration card are normally released in about a

    month's time, and the fates of those with no UNHCR card can not be predicted if they

    can not be rescued by paying money to the authorities before further action is taken,"

    said a volunteer member of Chin Refugee Committee (CRC).

    The Malaysian authorities have been severely criticised for human rights abuses,

  • 8/9/2019 29Apr10 News on Migrants & Refugees- 29April, 2010 (English & Burmese)

    10/27

    including excessive use of force, extortion of documented immigrants during raids,

    and destroying the documentation of legal immigrants in order to secure more arrests.

    Naing Shin, Secretary Generalof Dai Community in Malaysia said: "Mass arrests take

    place day by day, with more than 200 Chin refugees arrested monthly. About 15 Dai-

    Chins including two pregnant women have been detained. Some are arrested in anearly morning raid during their sleep while others at work and on the streets going to

    work."

    Dependent on meagre incomes earned from taking any available odd jobs, Chin

    refugees in Malaysia live in fears as they could lose their jobs, properties and salaries

    once they are arrested and detained.

    According to Global Detention Project, Rights groups have criticised the Malaysian

    authorities for detaining scores of asylum seeker children, pregnant women and other

    vulnerable individuals, mainly from Burma/Myanmar, at various detention camps and

    prisons around the country, adding: "They have come to this country for no otherreason than to seek a safe haven from persecution and serious human rights violations

    in their home country."

    Malaysia has not adopted key international instruments that protect the rights of

    migrants. The country is not party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of

    Refugees or the 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees. However, refugees

    who have been recognised by UNHCR and obtained UNHCR documents may

    nonetheless enjoy de facto protection at the national level, according to rights groups.

    It is estimated there are more than 30,000 Chin refugees stranded in Malaysia after

    fleeing the military-controlled country, Burma, where they have been for decades

    facing various forms of human rights abuses, repression, persecutions and brutalities

    inflicted by the ruling regime.

    ************************************************************* IDP influx instigates Halochanee camp supply crisis

    Apr 27 2010, Jaloon Htaw:

    According to administrators at Halochanee resettlement camp on the Thailand-Burma

    border, a recent influx of Mon internally displaced persons (IDPs), fleeing from the

    threat of conflict in southern Mon States Tavoy District, has stretched camp

    resources to the limit.

    Tavoy residents have been fleeing from their homes to the Thailand-Burma border

    since last week, after the New Mon State Party (NMSP) publicly refused to convert its

    armed wing into a Burmese government-run force. The relocation of Burmese

    military battalions to the border of NMSP-controlled territory in Tavoy district

    instigated widespread fears of an impending invasion, and prompted a mass migration

    to the already-crowded Holochanee camp.

  • 8/9/2019 29Apr10 News on Migrants & Refugees- 29April, 2010 (English & Burmese)

    11/27

    Food, water, and other supplies for members of Holochanee camp are overseen by a

    variety of non-governmental organizations, including the Mon Relief and

    Development Committee (MRDC), and the Thailand Burma Border Consortium

    (TBBC); however, sources inside the camp claim that such supplies are insufficient

    for the needs of the numerous IDPs who arrived last week.

    The food supplies will only be enough for the next 2 days. We not sure beyond then.

    But The TBBC [Thailand-Burma Border Consortium] came yesterday. They said

    when they arrived at their office in Thailand they would arrange for food supplies.

    But we have not heard from them yet, reported a member of the Mon Relief and

    Development Committee (MRDC) from Halochanee.

    According to this MRDC member, the organization has been taking a count of the

    Mon IDPs who have arrived in the camp from Tavoy since last week; as of today, 250

    new arrivals have taken shelter in Halochanee, while another 279 are being sheltered

    at nearby Balikedonbike camp.

    He also explain that the new arrivals in both camps are mostly women and children;

    they have fled from villages throughout the Tavoy region, including the villages of

    Tapyuchoung, Palan, Hanee, Chairtike, and A nie. Both camps are reported to be

    currently housing the new IDP population in schools and Buddhist temples.

    A long-time Halochanee resident told IMNA that many of the new arrivals have

    shared plans to return to their homes inside Mon State as soon as the current threat of

    violence lessens. Besides the impending food shortage, the new IDPs in Halochanee

    have reported that the camp lacks sufficient sanitation facilities and shelter to house

    them properly; Halochanee camp is also reportedly suffering from a water shortage.

    A woman from Tapyuchaung village, who arrived at Halochanee camp with her

    children last week, informed IMNA, We dont have plans to stay in Thailand

    because we have a plantation in our village. Now my husband is still at my home, we

    came to the camp first, because if the Burmese army comes he can run away easily.

    He will wait and [monitor] the situation.

    recognition following oppression and tyranny by the military junta. But now they do

    not have the support of the UNHCR in New Delhi and Mr. Zoramthang is working in

    the District Centre and getting Rs. 3000 per month.
