CHR 2001: Oral statement by Aliran Kesedaran Negara

Description: 

Agenda Item 14: Migrant workers; Minorities; Mass exoduses and displaced persons; Other vulnerable groups and individuals. "... I wish to use this time to highlight two particular cases, that although quite different, stem from the same root causes ? the oppression of ethnic nationality and religious minorities in Burma, and the prevalent use of forced relocation. These causes have led to an increase in the number of internally displaced persons. Many of these internally displaced persons end up becoming refugees, trafficked persons and migrant workers seeking to escape the intense oppression perpetrated by the regime known as the State Peace an Development Council of Myanmar..."
