This is the US Campaign for Burma’s nineteenth monthly On-The-Ground in Burma briefer! This month’s briefer will discuss the need to uphold the principles of non-refoulement and a feature interview that shares the experiences of a refugee in Malaysia, his experience entering the US, and why resettlement is important for a refugee.
This month’s briefer includes:
- October highlights
- An in-depth analysis on the need to uphold the principles of non-refoulement
- Four major policy recommendations
- A feature interview with Maung Maung Tin on his experiences as a refugee in Malaysia, entering the US, and why resettlement is important to a refugee
- An overview of IDP issues and rights abuses in each ethnic state and central Burma
As the conflict escalates in Burma between the pro-junta militias, anti-coup forces, and the military, so has the violence and rights deprivations in ethnic regions and central Burma. Without strong tangible action, the Burmese junta will continue to commit crimes against humanity with impunity.
