Fears over Burma's ethnic civilians

Concern is being expressed that the ruling junta in Burma is continuing to perpetrate grave violations of human rights against ethnic civilians. Christian Solidarity Worldwide says despite the release of pro democracy leader Ang San Su Kyi and recent elections it has received reports of military attacks and forced labour.
CSW’s East Asia Team Leader Benedict Rogers, told Vatican Radio that, “what we’ve seen in recent weeks particularly round the time of the election and in the weeks following the elections seems to be an increase in the military offensives…”

He adds that, “this is part of the regimes attempt to wipe out all opposition and particularly to target the ethnic groups”. Listen to full interview with Lydia O'Kane
