"No Place to Go"
Video and discussion on IDPs in Burma
by Peace Way Foundation (Burma Issues)
At FCCT (Foreign Correspondents Club, Thailand)
On April 23, 2003
8.00-9.30 pm

Internally Displaced People in Burma now number over 1 million. The Burmese military has systematically enacted village attacks, divide and rule, food depravation and human rights abuses that has led to an increasing amount of people forced to live a precarious existence in the jungles of Burma. These people have little access to assistance, from both inside and outside aid sources, they have no access to education nor health facilities. They are a people who have refused to be forced from their own land, who have refused to make themselves victims. It is now up to us to ensure their voices are heard.
