Season
of Fear Internally
Displaced People in Burma call for International
Action
This
video shows the day-to-day
struggle of over half a million displaced persons
in eastern Burma and how displacements impacts
communities and individuals. In September 2005,
the Burmese military launched an offensive and
displaced thousands of people in Nyaung Lay Bin
and Toungoo Districts. Some villages were burnt
down and some people had to cross border to take
shelter in refugee camp.
In
the context of human rights, this should be a
cause for increased international pressure on
the miliary regime in Burma. The actions we and
the IDPs themselves are calling for includes increase
level of humanitarian aid and support to IDPs
and condemnation by the international community
of attacks on IDPs.
