Ukrainian says he was held captive for 14 years
23/01/2011 at 12:00 AM

A Ukrainian engineer who says he was held captive and forced to work at a Bangkok
factory for 14 years will meet Department of Special Investigation officers tomorrow
to detail his allegations.

Anatoliy Vdovychenko, 57, was rescued from the Thai-owned oxygen equipment
factory located at the Rangsit industrial complex on Jan 11 after Ukrainian consular
staff confronted the owner and threatened to call police.

Ukrainian consul Constantine Ivaschenko said they became involved in the case after
a Burmese worker who had left the factory sent a letter to the engineer's family in
Ukraine last November telling them of the engineer's fate. The letter also included
three telephone contact numbers.

Family members contacted Interpol and local police who then contacted the Ukrainian
Ministry of Interior Affairs which informed the embassy in Bangkok. Consular staff
phoned the numbers provided in the letter and found the Burmese man who told them
where the factory was located.

''I thought I would be there forever,'' said Mr Vdovychenko, who is slender in

appearance and seems emotionally unsettled by his ordeal. ''I thought I would die and
nobody would know. My mind was closed and I was depressed.

''I stayed for many years in a small dirty room without pay. I worked hard for nothing,
They didn't pay my salary and they forced me to work.

''They took my documents and I had to do everything free of charge. The owner didn't
need a welder, painter, electrician or plumber. I had to do everything.''

His daughter Natalia, 34, who works for a corporate law firm in Odessa, said in a
telephone interview they had been searching for their father for 15 years but the task
was difficult. ''At first we had no chance to do anything as we knew he was in
Thailand, but at the time there was no Ukrainian embassy there.'' She said it was a
''strange feeling'' talking to her father after 15 years. ''Of course we are waiting for
him to come back, but it's a long time and things have changed. We are already adults
now and everything has changed.''

'PRISON FACTORY' MAN FREED

Mr Ivaschenko said Mr Vdovychenko had been isolated for so long that the first time
he met the engineer he had almost forgotten his mother tongue.
Mr Vdovychenko, who is in the care of the Ukrainian embassy, has been granted
special permission by the Immigration Department to stay in Thailand until the end of
next month. His passport expired in 2006.

In an affidavit submitted at Klong Luan police station, Mr Vdovychenko says he

arrived in April 1996 as a specialist in oxygen equipment installation for Combitex
Corporation Ltd which was the agent for a Ukrainian supplier, Kisenmash.

After suffering burns in an accident in July 1996 and being unable to return home, he
was verbally offered a work agreement by a Thai factory owner which included a
30,000 baht monthly salary, plus a car and other expenses, including medical
expenses.

Mr Vdovychenko said that without his consent, the owner planned to build a new
oxygen factory and he would have to maintain two oxygen systems. He said he only
received a full salary for the first three months. By the end of 1998 he made a demand
on his employer for 600,000 baht in outstanding pay.

After that, the owner stopped paying him and confiscated his passport when Mr
Vdovychenko returned from a trip to Malaysia in 1998.

Over the next 12 years, he says he was only paid from ''time to time'', sometimes
receiving 1,000 baht a week to buy food and nothing more.

''During a long period I did not have my passport and I did not have money to even
buy food,'' he says in the affidavit.

Mr Vdovychenko told the Bangkok Post Sunday that he was under 24-hour guard and
only allowed to leave the premises to buy food from a stall near the factory.

He said on occasions the owner threatened to kill him and sometimes fired a handgun
in the air to intimidate him. He said he was too afraid to attempt an escape as the
guard would act on the owner's orders as he was considered crucial to the running of
the factory.

''I was alone, I had no friends and no passport. If I left, who would believe me?'' he
said.

Mr Ivaschenko said that while Mr Vdovychenko was not ''chained like a dog'', ''he's
not Rambo, he's not Superman, he's a specialist engineer''.

Mr Vdovychenko said he survived with the help of Burmese migrant workers at the
factory who brought him food and clothing.

He had no television or radio, and the one Russian-language book he had was torn up
by the factory owner. However, other workers were also recruited to keep him under
surveillance.

Paisith Sungkahapong, who heads the DSI's Foreign Affairs Division, said he would
meet Mr Vdovychenko tomorrow to determine whether or not to proceed with a
criminal case against the factory owner. ''I've never heard of a case like this. Fourteen
years is a very long time,'' said Pol Lt Col Paisith.

Mr Vdovychenko says he remains fearful of the factory owner but wants to be paid
the money owing to him.

Burma's migrant workers: caught between a tyrant and a tiger

Malaysia's economic boom has been driven by the exploitation of cheap migrant
labour, from Burma and Thailand. Underpaid and with no rights, this is their story

MDG : Foreign workers in Malaysia Malaysia's economic boom has been fuelled by
cheap foreign labour. Photograph: Saeed Khan/AFP/Getty Images

They were not illegal, nor criminals, not protesting nor agitating. For 900 Malaysian
ringgits (around $290) a month they had travelled, through a broker, to the southern
Malaysian town of Johor. There to bend the metal, mould the bars and solder the nuts
that will bolt together the terrific rise in Asia's economies.

However the 35 Burmese workers found that, after two months, instead of the
promised amount, they were to receive 640 a month, with no overtime pay, as
promised.

So the workers organised, led by five individuals. They initially complained to their
employers.

The employers immediately called the police, all 35 were detained on 12 January. No
charges were brought, and 30 were released that day.

"Whenever workers do actually complain to their employers or against [them],

employers tend to discriminate against them or even terminate [their contracts]," says
pioneering Malaysian human rights lawyer, Charles Hector.

Before any legal rationale could be brought, or advocates or government bodies

mobilised, the five leaders were whisked away to the airport for deportation, because,
as Hector notes, "the employer wins by default if they are deported", they cannot
compete in a labour dispute, and migrant workers are not allowed to be members of a
union or stay in Malaysia without employment.

Out of the five leaders who complained, three have been forced back to Burma
despite signing a three-year contract, two, however are missing.

Malaysia's growing "tiger economy", is driven by a workforce of around 20% migrant

labour, with an estimated 500,000 from Burma, many of them illegal, taking their
place at the bottom of Malaysia's semi-apartheid ethnic mix.
With GDP per capita hard to record in Burma, the IMF estimated in January 2009 that
it was around $250. This compares with the IMF's 2010 estimate for Malaysia of
$7,775.

Despite a constitution and laws pertaining to universal rights in Malaysia, law

enforcement and other political precedence places migrant workers at immediate
disadvantage. All companies in Malaysia that hire foreign labour are required to pay a
levy. This is very often deducted from workers' pay, even though the practice was
made illegal in April 2009.

Tun Tun, head of Burma Campaign Malaysia, notes that the overwhelming ethos is
for employers to take responsibility for their workers as opposed to the workers
having rights as individuals. He points out that when you arrive in Malaysia as a
tourist, you need no visa and can rapidly leave the airport. However, migrant workers
have to wait for their employer to pick them up and take them, in custodial fashion, to
wherever they please.

Not all Burmese are just economic migrants. Many of those who eke out a living
between the concrete apartment buildings and highways of Kuala Lumpur have fled
political oppression in their homeland.

Kyaw Hsan was jailed in Burma at the age of 15. His "crime" was distributing
pamphlets about democracy, with news and information that circumvented Burma's
draconian military censors. He would leave pamphlets on the roof of a bus, so as it
drove through the streets of Rangoon they would flutter down, as innocently as
freshly falling rain. He was picked up outside a meeting of Aung San Suu Kyi's
National League for Democracy on 16 September 2000.

His confinement was marked with weeks of torture, including night-long beatings by
teams of guards. This was followed, in 2003, by periods of up to 32 days chained to a
wet floor with dozens of other prisoners for protesting the rearrest of Aung San Suu
Kyi.

He contracted tuberculosis, which quarantined him for a further year after his release
from Rangoon's colonial-era Insein jail.

Beyond the scars marking his body, and despite his affable nature, the psychological
toll is unmistakable. At the time of writing, a combination of dislocation, alcohol and
the breakdown of a relationship had led to angry outbursts, which saw him lose his
job as a waiter.

In exile

The isolation is palpable in divided Kuala Lumpur. On a busy rush hour Kyaw Hsan
intervenes to protect a young Burmese who has been set upon by up to a dozen
Malays. They beat him and take his phone, but he mistrusts the police so much that a
foreign escort to the station to report it is deemed necessary.

Ko Harun, meanwhile, has weathered exile for longer. He fled his native Burma
because of thediscrimination faced by the Rohingya minority. The Rohingya, he
estimates along with many observers, are the most oppressed minority in Burma;
despite having been in the country for about 1,000 years, they are denied citizenship
rights.

Since he left Burma he has been arrested four times in Thailand and five times in
Malaysia. In Thailand he says he was caged up with gang members who would
violently steal his rations.

He has been "sold" to traffickers by Thai officials, after being handed over by
Malaysian authorities. He was lucky enough to be able to borrow the fee to remove
himself from bondage.

Conditions in Malaysian jails are horrendous, causing what the Malaysian press call
riots but are actually hunger strikes or peaceful protests, complaining about the
overcrowding, the constant outbreaks of leptospirosis, a disease caused spread
through urine-contaminated water, or simply the length of detention.

The two missing worker leaders have not been heard from. Like an estimated 190,000
other Burmese in Malaysia, they are at the mercy of a divided, hungry nation.

Minister of Labour Negotiates with Myanmar to Increase Nationality
Verification Officials
Wednesday, 26 January 2011 16:00 HRDF

Mr. Chalermchai Sri-on, the Minister of Labour, today commented on the results of
his trip to Myanmar between 22nd to 24th January 2010 to meet Mr Mong Min, the
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Myanmar. The Minister said the trip was
intended to discuss the existing nationality verification process (NV) for alien workers
that has been proceeding slowly, particularly as a result of border closures.

Myanmar confirmed that the government would cooperate with the Ministry of
Labour regarding NV of alien workers from Myanmar so that the process could be
completed by 28th February 2012. It was likely Myanmar officials would remain at
the NV post in Ranong Province, and in addition Myanmar officials would be sent to
NV posts in Mae Sai in Chiangrai Province also.

At the moment, the Mae Sot NV post in Tak Province faced challenges as the border
has been closed and this has resulted in the inability for the NV post to function. As a
result, Myanmar is prepared to send officials to other NV posts inside Thailand
instead as a replacement for this NV post in Mae Sot. It is expected that such post
could be opened in Nakhon Sawaan Province.

In addition, the Myanmar authorities requested Thailand to open for a new migrant
worker registration. The Myanmar authorities affirmed that that they would provide
all requested assistance in proceeding with this issue to the greatest extent possible.
Formally Myanmar authorities will adjust their electronic information systems so that
the government is able to produce identification cards to prove alien workers in
Thailand are Myanmar citizens. If the Thai government opens registration or opens
for extension and there are still migrants being smuggled into the country, Myanmar
welcome Thailand to proceed according to law.

Thailand’s Minister of Labour additionally reported that if there is a new opening for
registration, the Department of Employment will send mobile vehicles to the
provinces to enable registration. In addition, the Myanmar authorities requested Thai
authorities to survey the number of alien workers in Thailand with clarity and confirm
numbers to the Myanmar Embassy in Thailand so that the Embassy can provide
identification documents and related documents to confirm status so that migrant
workers are able to complete NV. In relation to the fresh import of migrant workers in
accordance with the law, this issue remains under negotiations but it is clear the
method to be used will create a central role for broker companies in Myanmar.

Myanmar, Thailand touch on employment issue
17:17, January 26, 2011

Delegations of Myanmar and Thailand have met in Pyin Oo Lwin in northern

Myanmar, touching on issue of Myanmar workers being employed in Thailand, the
official newspaper New Light of Myanmar reported Wednesday.

At the 9th meeting between the two countries on employment of Myanmar workers in
Thailand, Myanmar was represented by Deputy Foreign Minister U Maung Myint,
while Thailand was headed by Minister of Labor Chalermchai Sri-On.

Fruitful discussions were claimed to have been made on matters related to nationality
verification of Myanmar and Thailand, enjoying of equal rights with Thai workers in
safe and happy working atmosphere without any mistreatment and unfairness, getting
opportunity to have all Myanmar workers in Thailand registered and get temporary
Myanmar passport and dispatching fresh Myanmar workers to Thailand.

Myanmar proposed dispatching fresh migrant workers to work legally in Thailand and
a process of verification of Myanmar nationality has been underway to issue
temporary passports to them.

There are three centers for issuing the passports on the Myanmar-Thai border, namely
Kawthoung, Tachilek and Myawaddy.

According to earlier report, a total of over 90,000 temporary Myanmar passports had
been issued to Myanmar migrant workers at the three centers up to May last year.

Myanmar and Thailand once met for the issue in the ancient city of Bagan in February
2010 during which Thailand said it will recruit about 15,000 Myanmar workers along
its border with the country through negotiation of the two governments.

Under the agreement, Myanmar migrant workers are allowed to cross border and take
up jobs in Thailand via three border towns with enjoyment of same rights that Thai
workers have.

Moreover, a Myanmar Association for Employee Protection was formed in Thailand

to help solve labor problems and give protection to Myanmar workers in that country,
earlier report also said.

The association, headed by Myanmar ambassador to Thailand, is supported by

diplomatic circle, traders and authority concerned.

According to earlier Thai statistics, there are 500,000 to 600, 000 Myanmar migrant
workers staying in Thailand.

Striking Burmese workers win demands
Wednesday, 26 January 2011 13:31 Aung Myat Soe

Mizzima – More than 800 Burmese migrant workers went on strike at the V & K
pineapple factory in Bankha Township in Latburi Province in Thailand on Tuesday
after a supervisor hit a worker with his fist.

The supervisor, riding a motorcycle, accidentally struck a Burmese worker and then
assaulted him, said striking workers.

The next day about 800 Burmese workers staged a protest, saying they could not
tolerate anymore violations of their rights and physical assaults against them.

“The accident victim stared at the motorcycle driver when he was hit. And then the
driver hit him with his fist. After that, an interpreter was also hit again when he asked
why he hit the worker. Now they have swollen faces,’ Maung Maung, a protest leader,
told Mizzima.

There were similar physical assaults against the Burmese workers in the past, said one
source. ‘The workers were struck arbitrarily with sticks’, he said.

About 40 officials from the immigration office, the labour office, police and soldiers
appeared at the factory about 11 a.m. along with two firefighters, and three
ambulances, in addition to local officials.
The Burmese workers put forward an 8-point demand and continued their protest
through the night. A relative of the factory owner, who was out of the country, met
with the protestors and agreed to all their demands, according to Maung Maung.

The demands included: (1) equal work for both Thai and Burmese workers (2) settle
wages systematically (3) no more physical assaults against Burmese workers by Thai
nationals (4) provide a receipt when payments are made (5) give prior notice about
deductions made on their wages (6) provide adequate toilets for workers (7) provide
more sanitation for workers and provide transport by car or motorcycle to workers
when they have to visit hospitals and clinics (8) give equal rights to piece-work
workers.

‘The agreement on our demands was signed by nine representatives of the Burmese
workers and the responsible officials from the factory and then copies of the
agreement were kept by both sides’, Maung Maung said.

The factory provided only three toilets for all workers and one of them was out of
order, workers said. The workers had to pay a fine if they spent more than 10 minutes
using toilets.

Out of a total of 1,000 workers in the food processing factory, 800 workers are
Burmese nationals.

Thai, Burma ministers talk migrants
By JOSEPH ALLCHIN, Published: 27 January 2011

Government ministers from Thailand and Burma met in Shan state on Wednesday as
a stand-off between Burmese migrant factory workers and their Thai employers was
underway.

The annual talks between Maung Myint, Burma’s deputy foreign minister, and the
Thai labour minister Chalernchai Sri-On that focus on Burmese migrant workers in
Thailand were “fruitful”, according to state media.

Up to three million Burmese migrants are estimated to live in Thailand, many of

whom work in low-skilled industries where exploitation is rife and access to
healthcare and legal aid difficult.

The nationality verification scheme promoted by Bangkok, which attempts to

categorise foreign workers in Thailand and supposedly allow them to enjoy equal
rights with their local counterparts, was also covered in the bilateral talks, which took
place in Pyin Oo Lwin, near Mandalay.

Maung Myint had also “proposed dispatching fresh migrant workers to work legally
in Thailand”, Chinese news agency Xinhua said.
The issue of Burmese migrants working in Thailand again came to a head this week
after employees in the V&K Pineapple Canning Co fruit factory in Ratchaburi
province, west of Bangkok, went on strike amid growing anger at the conduct of the
management and poor working conditions.

The head of the Thailand-based Migrant Assistance Program (MAP), Jackie Pollock,
said that the protest was the “last straw” in their attempts to push for adequate
treatment.

On Sunday last week a Burmese worker at V&K was beaten after an altercation with
his Thai foreman in the local market place, as was an interpreter who tried to
intervene in the dispute. This led to some 700 workers calling primarily for better
conditions.

MAP reported that several days later, on 25 January, as many as 200 police arrived to
subdue the situation, causing considerable concern. Pollock reported however that
“thankfully there was no violence”.

The factory owners eventually said they would meet the workers’ demands, which
included raising overtime payment from 20 Thai baht ($US0.65) per hour to 31 Thai
baht ($US1) per hour. They also agreed to build an extra 10 toilets – Pollock said
there had only been four toilets for around 1000 workers.

“Now workers are waiting this month to see whether that comes to fruition or not,”
she said. Asked what sort of official protection there was for migrants, she replied:
“There is almost zero protection of Burmese migrant workers by there embassy.
There have only been two cases where they’ve actually done something, and those
were very high profile.”

Fighting Spreads in Karen State
By SAW YAN NAING Wednesday, January 19, 2011

MAE LA OON, Thailand―Although more than 16,000 Karen people were sheltering
at close quarters in Mae La Oon refugee camp, the night was silent. Among the
shadows of the banana trees, the moonlight flickered across the river.

Suddenly, the whiz of a mortar shell arcs across the sky like a shooting star. For a
second there is a vacuum of silence, then the resounding boom of an explosion rocks
the northern Thai jungle. The heavens are instantly illuminated as gunfire and artillery
consume the area.

It was 9:30 pm on Jan. 17. The fighting between Burmese government forces and the
Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) was taking place about 30 km from the
camp, on Kasaw Wah Lay Mountain, opposite Thailand's Sop Moei District.
We heard the echo of artillery shells thundering across the valley until 10:30 pm.
Some households in the camp had already packed their belongings in case the shelling
came any closer and they had to flee.
I rushed to a hut where the camp security guards were based. Through their walkie-
talkies and satellite phones, we found out that the fighting was going on around Noh
Day, Kasaw Wah Lay and the former Karen National Union (KNU) headquarters,
Manerplaw.

Several refugees told me they have had to endure this every night since mid-
December. Now I was experiencing it for myself. I could barely fathom what it must
be like to get woken up by these thunderous explosions on a nightly basis.

The camp authorities announced on loudspeakers that everyone should be alert and to
pack their valuables. People lingered near the underground bunkers that had been dug
in case of such an emergency.
A few days earlier, three Burmese soldiers were arrested inside Mae La Oon refugee
camp and later expelled. Rumors were spreading that spies for the Burmese military
regime had been deployed in Mae La Oon and at Mae Ra Ma Luang, another refugee
camp close by.

Karen sources on the border said that an estimated eight battalions around Kasaw
Wah Lay Mountain had been recently reinforced; meanwhile, KNU Brigade 5 was
recruiting in the local area.

KNU sources said a small group of Burmese troops at Kasaw Wah Lay had been cut
off from their unit and were unable to receive rations and supplies. The Thai border
authorities have reportedly provided rations in recent weeks to other Burmese troops.

The fighting is expected to escalate as both the KNU and the Burmese army beef up
their forces in the combat zone.

Thailand has also deployed a unit of soldiers to Sop Moei District after mortar shells
landed in a Thai village on the night of Nov. 17.

Several refugees said they fear that the Burmese army can fire down on the camp
from Kasaw Wah Lay Mountain. Many said they are praying for a cease-fire.

“We fed up with the fighting. We want to live in peace,” said Si Mon, a housewife in
Mae La Oon refugee camp.
“We don’t go to big cities like Rangoon and attack them [the Burmese] and try to take
over their land,” said Saw Htee, a former KNU fighter. “We don’t want their land. We
don’t want armed conflict. We fight them because they come here and attack us. They
come to our land and try to oppress our people.”

The KNU's war with the Burmese army is one of the world's longest running conflicts.
The insurgent group was formed in 1947 and took up arms against the central
Burmese government in 1949, just one year after Burma had gained independence
from British colonial rule.
Decades of repression by the Burmese regime has resulted in more than 150,000
Burmese refugees, mostly Karen, displaced to refugee camps in Thailand.
Many refugees ultimately decide to resettle in third countries. Some 60,000 Karen
refugees have been resettled in the West, according to a humanitarian aid agency,
Thailand Burma Border Consortium.

Having lived in a refugee camp for more than a decade, Si Mon said that she always
expected to return to her village in Karen State. However, she is now on the UNHCR
list as waiting to resettle in the US as she has given up all hope of ever seeing her
hometown ever again.

On Nov. 8, one day after Burma's general election, serious fighting erupted between
Burmese troops and a renegade faction of the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army
(DKBA), Brigade 5. The conflict has since spread north.

With an estimated 1,000 troops, Brigade 5 is led by Brig-Gen Saw Lah Pwe, and is
the only DKBA battalion to reject the Burmese junta’s border guard force plan. It has
since allied with the KNU. On Nov. 17, a group of about 40 soldiers belong to a
Karen breakaway group called Klow Htoo Baw also returned to KNU Brigade 6
areas.

Local residents in Kyaukkyi Township in Pegu Division said that fighting between the
KNU and Burmese government forces broke out near the town on Jan. 11.

Skirmishes between DKBA Brigade 5 and Burmese regime troops have been reported
on a near-daily basis in Waw Lay and Phaluu in southern Karen State.

The Burmese army is also reported to be reinforcing its forces and supplies west of
the Salween River in northern Karen State, and near the border with Karenni State.
KNU Brigade 5 troops in Papun District in northern Karen are reported to be on high
alert.

Shan Coal Mine Affecting Local Health, Report Says
By KO HTWE Thursday, January 20, 2011

The agriculture and health of nearly 12,000 people living within a five-mile radius of
Burma’s largest coal mine and coal-fired power plant are threatened with air and
water pollution, according to a report titled “Poison Clouds” that was complied by the
Pa-Oh Youth Organization (PYO) and the Kyoju Action Network (KAN).

According to the report, the power plant, which is located near Tigyit in Pinglaung
Township in southern Shan State, releases 100 to150 tons of toxic ash containing
mercury, lead and arsenic into the atmosphere every day.

In recent years, ash has been known to cover roads and some 50 percent of the local
population suffers from skin infections, the report says.

“Our skies and waters are turning black,” said Khun Chankhe of the PYO. “What
future is there for our children who are growing up in a toxic wasteland?”
The residue from the coal mine is piling up so high that the dumps have become like
hills and are blocking the flow of water, as well as creating pollution and stagnant
lakes. Toxic fly ash that is dumped on coal mine waste piles or spread on local roads
is also running off into local water sources, some of which eventually flows into Inle
Lake, the report states.

The Burmese military regime’s Vice-Snr-Gen Maung Aye chose the site for the
power plant in 2001, and instructed local military officials to confiscate more than
100 acres of local farm lands, said the 54-page report.

However, some 500 acres of land were seized. Three hundred and twenty-one families
from Lai Khar and Taung Pola villages each received a maximum of 170,000 kyats
(US $170) compensation for forced relocation.

However, the Myanmar Mines Law of 1994, Chapter 5, Section 4, states that “the
holder of a permit for mineral production within an area under the Ministry's
administrative control or which does not lie within the Mineral Reserve Area or
Gemstone Tract, shall carry out such production only after coordinating and receiving
agreement from the individual or organization having the right of cultivation, right of
possession, right of use and occupancy, beneficial enjoyment, right of succession or
transfer of the said land.”

The plant uses 640,000 tons of coal per year to produce 600 Gigawatts of power with
a capacity of 120 Megawatts.

The China National Heavy Machinery Corporation, along with Eden Group of
Myanmar and Shan Yoma Nagar, implemented the project in 2002 under the
supervision of the Energy Ministry with an investment of $42.93 million.

Chit Khaine, the founder of Eden Group, is on the EU sanctions list under the
category, “Persons Who Benefit from Government Economic Policies and Other
Persons Associated with the Regime.”

“The project is for the sake of China, not for the local communities. The local people
don’t receive sufficient electricity from the plant,” said Khun Chankhe.

Electricity produced from the power plant is sent to the nearby Nagar cement plant. A
proposal is being considered to supply electricity to another mining project, the
Pangpet iron factory near Hopone and the Taunggyi highway, which is run by Russian
and Italian companies, the report said.

The Tigyit coal mine also produces nearly 2,000 tons of lignite and sub-bituminous
coal every day. Lignite, a soft brown coal, produces the most carbon dioxide
emissions per unit of energy than any other type of coal.

The plants and the mine are located within the watershed that is 13 miles from
Burma’s famous Inle Lake in Shan State. River waters polluted by the mine and waste
from the power plant are flowing into the lake via the Balu Creek, the report says.

Khun Chanke said that this is one of the main reasons why Inle Lake is drying up.
Residue piles from the mine are now towering above the homes of 3,000 people,
blocking streams and contaminating fields. The coal is extracted through an
underground tunnel system which runs beneath tea farms—another major concern for
villagers who live in constant fear of landslides and land collapses, said the report.

“We issue the report today with concern for Inle Lake,” said Khun Chanke on
Thursday.

“We also wish to call on the elected candidates from Inle and Pinglaung region to
discuss this issue in Parliament.”

The Inn National Development Party has previously said that the party will focus on
the environmental issues of Inle Lake.

There are over 16 large-scale coal deposits in Burma. The Italian-Thai Development
Plc, a large Thai construction firm, signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Burma in
November for the development of a deep sea port in Dawei (Tavoy). The project
includes plans for Southeast Asia’s largest coal-fired power plant that will build in
Dawei where 18 villages have been ordered to move to make way for the project, said
the PYO/ KAN report.

PYO was set up in 1998 and says it is “striving for peace and justice in Burma
through empowering youth.” It published a report, “Robbing the Future,” in June
2009 after two years of research at the site of Burma’s largest iron mine and the
Pangpet No. 5 Steel Mill in Shan State.

KAN was set up in 2010 and says its aim is “strengthening communities’ capacity to
protect their natural resources.”

More people expected to flee to Thailand
Friday, 21 January 2011 16:27 Hseng Khio Fah

In this week, the military junta authorities in Shan State East’s Mongton township,
have passed a directive to the people who were not original inhabitants of the
township to relocate to the newly developed sub-township of Monghta. Due to the
order, many people have considered to move to Thailand, according to local sources.

The order was passed by the local commander of Mongton through village headmen
two days ago. It ran that anyone who failed to comply with the instruction would have
to return to their original places and no longer be allowed to reside in Mongton, said a
non-native person in Pongpakhem sub-township, Mongton township.

“They [the authorities] said they would take responsibility to carry us [people who
were going there] in their military trucks. They would also provide us with some
furniture like wood and thatches when we got there,” he said.

“However no one is happy to go and stay there, because there is no business

opportunity and no place to do agriculture. What will we eat there without jobs and
farms? Will we have to start everything from the beginning again?” he added.

The project is expected to complete by the end of the month. According to many
people speaking to SHAN, they said they planned to migrate to Thailand, while some
others were still under confusion about where to go.

In Mongton township, there are two areas that attract most outside people to live in:
Pongpakhem and Nakawngmu which are located on the significant point for trade.
Nakawngmu alone consists of over 1,000 households, 900 of which are non-native
people, according to locals in Nakawngmu.

Most of the non-natives are believed to come from Shan State South’s Mongkeung,
Laikha, Loilem and Namzarn where clashes between Burma Army and rebel groups,
especially the Shan State Army (SSA) ‘South’ usually took place.

“We don’t know what to do and what to expect over there since there is no any
security. At the same time we don’t want to move to a new place. It will be so hard to
start a new life there, and we cannot leave our property here behind too,” a 60 years
old businessman said. “Some people who have relatives in Thailand think of going to
work there,” added he.

The new sub-township, Monghta, is located west of Mongton, 44 kilometers north of

Chiangmai's Wiang Haeng district. It is also cited between two brigades of United Wa
State Army (UWSA) and on the gateway to SSA South which are opposition armed
groups of the Burma Army. It has been developed a week ago by Brig-Gen Than Htun
Oo, Commander of the Triangle Region Command.

It is believed to be one of the military junta’s projects to block the route of the UWSA
fighters and the SSA fighters.

Letter from Mae La Oon Camp
By SAW YAN NAING Saturday, January 22, 2011

In Burmese culture, people often greet each other with “Good morning,” or “Have
you eaten?”

But, in Mae La Oon refugee camp, many of the 16,000 mostly Karen refugees
nowadays have updated their small talk to the new greeting: “When is your interview?

The interview in question is, of course, with the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR) and is an assessment of the refugees' qualification and
suitability for for resettlement in a third country.

Before acceptance by a Western nation, the Karen and other Burma nationals are
interviewed and given a medical check-up. Months later, if their application is
accepted, they are given classes to learn about the culture of the country they are to be
sent, including basic rules on how to eat, sleep and visit toilets on their flights out of
Thailand.

The recent program of cooperation between the Thai authorities and the UNHCR on
the resettlement issue at Mae La Oon refugee camp is quite clearly the talk of the
town. At schools in the camp, teachers and students compare interviews and medical
results. Several students simply quit school even though they may have to wait for
months or years for resettlement.

“It is depended on them [the students],” said Naw Chi Moe, a shopseller in the camp.
“If they want, they can go to school. If not, they don't have to.

“Many schoolteachers have applied for resettlement program,” she added. “So they
are often absent. The students don’t really care about their studies. They're only
waiting and worrying about what will happen to their resettlement applications.”

Naw Chi Moe said her and her family are also on the list for resettlement even though
her shop turns over a fair income. Most refugees have no income; they rely on food
provided by the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC).

“We were told recently by the camp authorities that the TBBC will soon cut food and
supplies for those who own shops or have enough income to make their own living,”
she said. “From now on, aid will be only provided to those who don't have a
livelihood.”
A camp committee member said, “TBBC will check all refugees and want those who
can make a living to stand on their own feet because the TBBC's funding is to be
reduced.”

Household materials such as bamboo, wood and leaf roofing—the standard

construction materials at the camps—will be prioritized for newcomers and those who
don’t have a house to live in.

Naw Chi Moe said she never wanted to resettle in a third country and was always
happy to stay in the camp until it was safe to return to her village in Karen State.

“However,” food is becoming scarce and there have been many cuts,” she said. “Our
children's future is not secure.”

She said her husband did not want to resettle in a third country, but finally agreed to
apply along with his family for the sake of their children.

In an interview with The Irrawaddy, Sally Thompson, the deputy director of the
TBBC said that she is worried about long-term support for the Burmese refugees on
the Thai border as there is no stability in the affected ethnic areas and refugees
continue to flow into Thailand.

“In the long term, it will become harder to raise funds for Burmese refugees in
Thailand,” said Thompson.

Mae La Oon is one of the more advantaged refugee camps on the Thai-Burmese
border. Some 60,000 Burmese refugees have been resettled in third countries,
according to TBBC records.

Several people in Mae La Oon camp said the lack of interest in education is getting
worse, and the resettlement program is all anyone is concerned with.

They said the parents don’t force or persuade their children to go to school. Due to the
resettlement program, schools in Mae La Oon camp have lost several qualified
teachers who applied for and were resettled in third countries.

Mee Doh, a primary school student, said, “Sometimes, when we go to school, the
teacher is not there. We wait. Then we just go home.”

Dipping Dollar Hits Burmese Refugees
By MARWAAN MACAN-MARKAR / IPS WRITER Monday, January 24, 2011

BANGKOK — Tracking gun battles along the Thai-Burma border and preparing for
another wave of refugees are not the only things that concern British humanitarian
Sally Thompson.
She also spends her days immersed in the fluid world of global currencies, worried
about the steadily weakening US dollar.

"We monitor the currency all the time. We have to constantly adjust our budgets,"
says 52-year-old Thompson in her office in Bangkok’s busy financial district. "It
comes down to our buying power with the baht."

Thompson and her colleagues at the Thai-Burma Border Consortium (TBBC) are
trying to come to grips with the downward slide of the dollar against the Thai baht,
which has appreciated in recent days by 10 percent, emerging as the strongest
currency in Southeast Asia.

A strong baht means huge losses for aid groups like TBBC whose funds are dollar-
denominated. Its annual budget for 2011 is 40 million dollars, and a drop from 30 to
29 baht to a dollar, which is where the exchange rate stood when the year began,
could mean a shortfall of 14 million baht, equivalent to nearly one million kilos of
rice.

And TBBC, which has been caring for Burmese refugees for the past 25 years, is
unlikely to get more baht for its dollars this year, given the direction foreign and local
speculators are driving the bond market here.

It is a similar reality that haunts much smaller organizations doing humanitarian and
political work along the border Thailand shares with Burma, or Myanmar.

The border is home to over 500,000 internally displaced Burmese who have fled
military oppression as well as the conflict between government troops and separatist
rebels that has been raging since the early 1980s. The majority of these refugees are in
eastern Burma, near the Thai border.

Since last year, foreign currency speculators have eyed Thailand’s bond market as
fertile ground for quick profits, helping to push the short-term bond market to 320
billion baht (US $10.4 billion), up from the 270 billion baht ($8.8 billion) at the same
time last year.

"In the first week (of 2011), we have seen net foreign buying of 50 billion baht, about
80 percent of which was for short-term investment in debt- instruments of less than
one year in maturity," Ariya Tiranaprakij, vice- president of the Thai Bond Market
Association, was recently quoted as saying in a local daily.

But such capital flows coming into this region are taking a bite from the vulnerable,
among them humanitarian workers at TBBC.

Nagesh Kumar, chief economist of the Bangkok-based United Nations Economic and
Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), observes that the situation will
cause a lot of problems. "The weakening of the US dollar and exchange volatility will
continue," Kumar said.
The impact a weakening dollar has on humanitarian programs is also felt in other
parts of Asia, where the UN food relief agency World Food Programme (WFP)
supplies emergency needs.

"WFP buys most of its food in US dollars, so any depreciation in its value is likely to
have an impact on our ability to provide food assistance to the world’s hungry poor,"
Marcus Prior, WFP spokesman for its Asia office, told IPS.

For the likes of TBBC, which currently cares for some 145,000 refugees in camps
along the 2,000-km Thai-Burma border, the prolonged downward spiral of the dollar
comes at a trying time: it is expecting to feed more mouths.

A new round of fighting between Burmese troops and ethnic Karen rebels had erupted
along the border in early November, forcing tens of thousands of Karen civilians to
flee to Thailand for safety.

"This instability along the border will continue. We expect more new arrivals to come
because of this uncertain political situation," says Thompson, the deputy director of
TBBC.

It is a view echoed by other Burmese activists operating in Mae Sot, a Thai town
close to the Burma border. They, like TBBC, are also grappling with a weakening
dollar.

"We have been forced to downsize all our democracy and empowerment training
programs for people from Burma," says Naing Aung, the secretary general of the
Forum for Democracy in Burma (FDB), a coalition of Burmese political exiles.

In 2009, the FDB budgeted its 2010 costs at one dollar to nearly 35 baht. By the end
of last year the exchange rate saw a dollar valued at only 29 baht. "Nearly 20 percent
of our budget was affected," he said in an interview from the Burmese border.

"This trend began with the financial crisis and has worsened since," says Debbie
Stothard of ALTSEAN, a South-east Asian human rights lobby.

"Pro- democracy and humanitarian work has been affected."

For now, the ripples of the global financial crisis that began in the US in late 2008 and
still impacting remote corners of western Thailand has not prompted a change of heart
among the western donor countries.

"We are giving the same amount as we gave before to the Thai-Burma border," a
diplomat from a donor country told IPS. "There is no talk in policy circles to change
that because of the financial crisis."

In Brief: Burmese refugees in Thailand face ration cuts
BANGKOK, 24 January 2011 (IRIN)

Rising food prices may prompt the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC), an
umbrella group of 12 humanitarian organizations working with more than 139,000
Burmese refugees in Thailand, to cut rice rations by up to 20 percent. Additional cuts
will be made to salt, suger, oil and chili rations.

"Increased prices of food and [higher] exchange rates have made it more difficult to
buy food," Sally Thompson, the TBBC's deputy executive director, told IRIN.

The ration for rice, a staple of the Burmese diet, will remain the same for vulnerable
groups, including children under the age of five, pregnant and lactating women, and
the ill. "Vulnerable people are still protected, and TBBC plans to conduct annual
nutrition surveys to monitor the health situation," Thompson said.

According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Thailand currently hosts 96,800

refugees from Myanmar who have been registered, and an estimated 53,000 who have
not, and are living in nine government-run camps along the 1,400km Thai-Burmese
border.

MYANMAR: ODA shrinks post-Nargis
YANGON, 24 January 2011 (IRIN)

Overseas development assistance (ODA) to Myanmar has dropped to pre-Cyclone

Nargis levels, leaving millions needing food, shelter, health and education, warn aid
agencies.

More than 138,000 people lost their lives and 2.4 million people were affected by the
category 4 storm in May 2008.

According to the latest data available from the Organization for Economic
Development and Co-operation (OECD), ODA to Myanmar has fallen since 2008,
despite a worldwide ODA increase.

Myanmar received US$357 million of ODA in 2009, a 30 percent cut from the
previous year.

Now that the humanitarian component of the ODA has decreased to pre-Nargis levels,
the estimated ODA in 2010 is as low as $5 per capita, said Andrew Kirkwood, head of
Save the Children Myanmar.

"Nargis was just a blip," he said. In 2008, the humanitarian response to Nargis marked
a 170 percent increase in ODA from the year before when Myanmar's ODA was $198
million, according to the OECD.

However, while the humanitarian aid component of the ODA increased in 2008, core
non-emergency funding remained low in 2009 at $127 million or $2.50 per capita,
according to the OECD.

In the same period Cambodia received $208 million in non-humanitarian funds,

despite having a population approximately three times smaller.

Sanctions

"There is [definitely] an ODA boycott going on, though not on paper," said Frank
Smithuis, founder of Medical Aid Myanmar, a local NGO specializing in HIV care,
and former director of Médecins Sans Frontières Holland in Myanmar.

"It's no coincidence that the countries that have imposed economic sanctions on
Myanmar are also the countries that give the least development assistance," he said.

For the past two decades, donor governments mostly from the west have levied
various trade, travel, investment, arms, development and data embargos against the
military regime in protest at its human rights and anti-democracy record.

From visa restrictions against its leaders to precious stone import bans, sanctions have
been tightened following massive anti-democracy government crackdowns and
various extensions of house arrest for the now-released opposition leader, Aung San
Suu Kyi.

Speaking after the September 2007 crackdown by the military regime on Buddhist
monks, former Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Berniere said Canada had
the "toughest sanctions in the world" on Myanmar.

In 2009, Canada gave Myanmar $2.7 million but it gave Laos 10 times more ODA per
capita, despite the country's higher gross national income per capita.

"Whenever I approach a donor for funding they're always keen, right up to the point
when I say 'Myanmar'," said Smithuis.

But the US government - which has budgeted $36.9 million for ODA to Myanmar in
2011 - defends its commitment to the Burmese people even in the face of rules against
assisting their government, except with humanitarian aid.

"Considering the lack of a USAID [US Agency for International Development]

mission presence [in Myanmar], Burma's budget is actually quite robust, at
approximately six times the level of the Laos budget [$6 million in 2011]. Burma
assistance levels have risen beyond those of Laos since the international community,
including the [US government], responded to the devastation of Cyclone Nargis in
2008, with humanitarian assistance to the people, not the government, of Burma," said
a USAID spokesperson.

Teachers and midwives

But not all the people can benefit from this largesse, said Kirkwood.

The US administration considers teachers and midwives government workers, so

organizations accepting government funding cannot help them, Kirkwood added.

"It's absurd that developed countries have money earmarked for development, but
don't allow organizations to work with the government... That is the function of
politics. The international community [is] penalizing the children of a country for a
government that they don't have any say in. It's playing politics with children's lives,"
he said.

The USAID spokesperson told IRIN that due to counter-narcotics and anti-trafficking
agreements, which the US government deems Myanmar to violate, the US cannot
fund any government entity except for labs or offices fighting communicable diseases.
Meanwhile, the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Department (ECHO),
explained why sidestepping the government by giving money directly to NGOs was
necessary.

"As a donor distributing public funds, we have to be accountable to the European

taxpayers and ensure that every euro is being spent effectively," said ECHO's regional
information officer covering Myanmar, Mathias Eick.

Meanwhile, aid agencies say it is the Burmese people who must bear the impact of
donor manoeuvring to avoid dealing with the government.

"Of course, sanctions are not why children die or don't go to school, that's down to the
government, but they certainly don't help," Kirkwood added.

Outside sub-Saharan Africa, Myanmar is second to Afghanistan for child mortality

rates, according to UN Children's Fund (UNICEF). Almost 10 percent of children in
Myanmar died before reaching the age of five in 2008.

NLD donates rice and material to Chin State
Monday, 24 January 2011 20:26 Phanida

Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – The NLD has donated rice and water pipes worth about 30
million kyat (US$ 35,700) to two townships in Chin State which have suffered famine
due to mice infestation and water shortages, the party said.

Kanpetlet in southern Chin State and Htantalan in northern Chin State have faced a
wave of food shortages since 2008 when mice began destroying crops.
‘We are donating rice worth about 25 million kyat (US$ 29,700) and 6 million kyat
(US$ 7,142) for potable water projects for our ethnic brothers’, party spokesman Ohn
Kyaing told Mizzima. ‘We are also encouraged to see individuals getting involved in
charity work’.

The NLD central committee decided to make the donation after Chin State NLD party
chairman Pu Valian met with Aung San Suu Kyi on January 10 and discussed the
problems in the region.

The rice was procured in Chauk in Magwe Division and transported to Kanpetlet
Township, where it will be distributed to about 10,000 villagers in the township at the
rate of 3 pyi (about 2 kg per pyi) each. The NLD will donate 1,250 rice bags to the
township (about 50 kg per bag) worth 21 million kyat (US$ 25,000).

A NLD delegation of members, members of political parties, politicians and others

are on their way to Chin State to help oversee the distribution and water project.

In related activities, an NLD technical team is in Yaymawe Ward in Falam Township,

where there is also a severe water shortage, to do a feasibility study. That water
project is expected to cost the NLD about 6 million kyat (US$ 7,140).

The military regime announced on September 14, 2010, that it was dissolving 10
political parties including the NLD, for their failure to re-register as political parties.

Lawyers for the NLD on Monday presented their case in a second appeal hearing
before the Supreme Court in Naypyidaw, challenging the government‘s right to
disband the party. Their second appeal case was accepted on January 13.

NLD lawyer Kyi Win presented the NLD arguments before a three-judge panel
including Chief Justice Aung Toe.

Aung San Suu Kyi contributed to the first appeal on November 22, 2010, in an
affidavit on the legal status of the NLD. The Supreme Court in Naypyidaw dismissed
that appeal.

NLD lawyers Nyan Win and Kyaw Hoe are also working on the appeal.

Nyan Win told Mizzima that he believed the court will allow the case to be heard.

‘I hope the case will be admitted’, he said. ‘They cannot dissolve a political party
according to the existing law’.

The court usually issues decision on such appeals within one week.
