Subject: HR violation in Kabaw valley
Human Rights abuses and forced labour cases in West Burma Region (Kabaw
valley, Kalay region)
People in this region are forced to donate their labour for Nat Chaung-Gangaw
rail-road construction. If any person who cannot donate their labour they must
give 700 Kayts per individual and 1500 Kyats per family to authority.
Because of so many atrocities in work place, one forced labour worker killed a
soldier by his spade and fled to Mizoram, India during first week of September
1996.
Since from rail-road work start, at least 4 persons (workers) expired in work
place but they had no compensation from authority.
Many people were suffering fever (Malaria), dysentery and injuries during
working time but there has no medical aid to lobourers.
>From January 1996, SLORC increased the rate of tax as follow:
150 kyats/year for Radio
150 kyats/year for Cassette Recorder
5,000 kyats/year for Small Home Rice Mail
10,000 kyat/year for par House (Wooden)
100,000 kyat/year for par House (Brick)
