Although i am living in a safe country
now, i still can not get rid of the fear of Burmese soldiers.Whenever i
see soldiers and/or army officers with their uniforms, i still have cold
feet. I have to remind myself that these are good soldiers who fight
for their people, not for the dictators.
In
Burma, minorities groups are living in fear of army. Burmese troops
often come into villages with messages: leave the villages or we will
burn them to the ground etc, followed by brutal actions such as forced
labors, rapes, tortures and killings. Due to the lack of media coverage
at Burma's reomote areas, all these abuses have not yet reached
the attention of the world's criminal court.
Thanks
to the AP Associated Press which has sent its journalists crossed into
rebel-controlled Burma to interview refugees fleeing human rights abuses
allegedly committed by the army and documented photos and stories of
victims who have been forcely relocated, abused and tortured by the
military troops. I will continue to spread the voice and the pain of
victims until the end of this dictatorship in Burma.
