Pa?an Situation Update: Dta Greh and Lu Pleh Townships, September 2011

Description: 

"This report includes a situation update submitted to KHRG in November 2011 by a community member describing events that occurred in Pa?an District in September 2011. It contains updated information concerning military activity, specifically Border Guard and Tatmadaw troops? demands for villagers to provide forced labour. Villagers from Eg--- were ordered by Border Guard troops to repair the vehicle road between Eg--- and M---, and were forced to clear vegetation from Border Guard Advisor Hpah Nwee?s rubber plantation ? an incident that was previously reported by KHRG in June 2012 in "Pa?an Interview: Saw T---, September 2011". Villagers who were sick or could not spare the time to meet the forced labour demands had to hire other villagers to work in their place, highlighting how such demands can prevent villagers from engaging fully in their livelihood activities."
