Border Update (r)



Last night, Feb. 14, SLORC shelled Nawbotawa camp (all spellings phonetic),
located on the Burma side.  Normal population is said to be around 3,000
refugees, but they had been joined by another 2,000 new arrivals fleeing the
SLORC offensive.  

Thai border police would not allow these approximately 5,000 refugees to
enter the Thai village of Talathaw, so that the people have scattered in a
panic from the shelling and are sheltering in the forest.  There are
hundreds of SLORC and DKBO troops in the area.

The border check point is closed.
