S.H.A.N : SLORC TROOPS FORCING PEOPLE TO GROW RICE FOR THEM
April 17, 1996

On March 7, 1996, SLORC IB no. 99 of Lang Khur ordered people of Pang Thun
village ( a little south of Lang Khur ) to grow rice for them during the early
harvest of the year in the fields belonging to the villagers which are irrigated
with water from the Nam Ting river. Because the Pang Thun villagers refused to
do this, they forced people from three other wards, 12 miles to the north of
Lang Khur to come and work in the fields. Ten villagers from each village have
to take turns to work and those who have ploughing machines have to use them.
They are obliged to work until all is completed and the rice paddy reaches the
military camp of SLORC IB no.99 at Pang Keng.
