The following human rights abuses by the Burma Army were reported.
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Captured, tortured and killed innocent villagers
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Burnt houses, left victims for dead
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Demanded chicken and pork from villagers
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Four innocent villagers captured and forced to guide Burma Army soldiers
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miscellaneous items from village stolen (clothes, pots, mosquito nets, mats, food, sewing machine, knives, sheets, etc.)

The FBR team treated a total of 879 patients.\u00a0 The most common ailments were:
malaria(282), anemia (102), and gastric (62).\u00a0 The range of illness were from abscesses and ring worm to dysentery and miscellaneous wounds.<\/p>\n

In the area we conducted the relief mission, the Burma Army exerts almost complete control and it is very difficult to provide needed relief and to avoid detection. The villagers suffer under the oppression of the Burma Army and so we will continue to try to help them as much as we can.
Our team visited 4 village areas, treated 879 people and documented on videonumerous human right’s abuses and interviews. <\/p>\n

II.\u00a0Introduction<\/span>
We held a meeting, we gathered our supplies and started our mission in Mone township at Saw-ka-der tract.
There are over (14,998) IDPs in our Kler Lwe Htu district and (5,450) IDPs in Mone township, including some areas in down mountain.\u00a0 We provided medical treatment for 879 people during our trip. The situation of our IDP area was a bit better, but we found the Burma Army still conducts sporadic hostile actions in our area, especially in Mone Township.\u00a0 From September
2004 until the time of this writing, the Burma Army troops whose actions were in Mone Township were LIB 549, 599, 389, 264, IB 73 and a DKBA force.
All troops were under the umbrella of MOC (3) & MOC (1). <\/p>\n

During our trip we met many people who were sick, especially women and children.\u00a0 We heard that people in villages we were not able to visit were sick as well.We tried to explain to the villagers we encountered how much we could improve the situation if we joined hands and worked peacefully together.\u00a0 We also explained how important it is to build a good community between our people.\u00a0 We showed our love and gave them help, hope and treated them with patience. <\/p>\n

III.\u00a0\u00a0IDP situation<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the cease-fire made by the “gentlemen’s agreement”, our people were still living in fear because the Burma Army troops often demand many things from villagers such as forced labor, and money and they continue to conduct operations in our areas.\u00a0 Therefore, we the Karen people continue to face security, food, educational and health problems. <\/p>\n

IV.\u00a0 Human Right Abuse <\/p>\n

Since the cease-fire was made between the KNU and the SPDC military regime, in our district human rights violations are still being committed and the operations against IDPs continue. These are the human rights abuses we encountered. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Within September and October 2004 in Moe Township, the SPDC military troops of LIB 264 led by column commander Nyein Char Oo with 23 soldiers
arrived at Mala Daw and demanded 5 viss of pork from the village headman. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 9\/9\/04 LIB 599 column no. (1) with (50) soldiers led by the Battalion commander demanded 2 villagers from Myaw Oo village headman to show their way, these two villagers were Saw Ko Day and Ko Zaw Oo. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 10\/9\/04 at 10:00 am these troops captured 4 villagers named Ma Nag Mi, Ko Kyaw Thu with a friend and Ma Nah Kyit Toe at Yein Oh Sein place.\u00a0 This
troop left Myaw Oo on 11\/9\/04 and arrived at Htee Ta ber Hta paddy farm. They took away two pots, two kettles, five knives, five plastic sheets, a mosquito net, a hanging pot, a mat, and all salt and chili from Saw Soe Win’s farm hut. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 12\/9\/04 the same troops arrived back at Myaw Oo, demanded (8000 Kyat) from the headman to pay the 2 persons to show their way.\u00a0 On the same day,
this troop took all the captured persons when they arrived back at MaMya Eh & Saw P’leh Yins’ orchard and took some of the clothes.\u00a0 The troop then continued their trip and at Pau Pi Der and demanded chickens from the village headman which cost (15000 kyat).\u00a0 At that village the commander ordered Myaw Oo headman to come and vouch Ma Na Kyit Toe but he took her
husband photo and ID card. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 19\/9\/04 SOC (Strategic Operation Command) No. (2) commander Khin Mg Soe demanded one villager from each of Kho Pu Lu tract, Hsaw Mie Lu tract and two sections in Ler Doh town to construct car road from Ler Doh town to Tha Bo battalion area.\u00a0 If one absence must be paid 3000 kyat..\u00a0 The same date\u00a0 LIB entered in Hsaw Mie Lu camp and another force of 250 soldiers
(called arrow force) came to Mu Theh bringing 2 tree machine cutter. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 22\/9\/04 LIB 599 captain Thein Soe force Myaw Oo villagers worked for them and under the LIB 599, two columns were taking action in Saw Tin Der
region led by column (1) commander Ya Neing Soe and column (2) Kkin Mg Myit. In the same date LIB 599 company (1) captain Thein soe demanded 700,000 kyat
from each of Myaw Oo and Pau Pi Der and 350,000 kyat from Aung Cha Tha villages for the expenses of building their office.\u00a0 Begin 26\/9\/04 until 7\/10\/04 everyday he ordered 20 villagers from Myaw Oo to build the office. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 29\/9\/04 he captured a Myaw Oo villager Ma Tin and demanded a sewing machine but Ma Tin did not have one and was forced to give 100,000 kyat. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 29\/9\/04 the LIB 599 captured Mg Win Myit and Tin Win they tortured and hit and killed Tin win.\u00a0 On 13\/10\/04 they again tortured, bit and scratched
Mg Win Myit’s face, hands, and legs by knife and released him, but was forced to report daily to the troop. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 1\/10\/04 LIB 599 captain Thein Soe captured villager Myo Neing Oo and demanded 200,000 kyat and 5 viss of bitternut.\u00a0 More over he demanded 200,000 kyat from 16 Beetle Nut trees owners and forced them to not go back to their Beetle Nut farms. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 7\/10\/04 SOC No.2 commander Khin MG Oo demanded 40 villagers from Tha Bo and 30 from Shan Chaw to cut clean an area at Hsaw Mie Lu for the build
the battalion office. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 8\/9\/04 he demanded 60 villagers from Plaw Lah Hay, 26 villagers from Pa Ka Goe, and 210 from 7 sections in Ler Doh town. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 10\/10\/04 the LIB 599 company commander forced villagers to build the camp at Myaw Oo Buda temple’s area.\u00a0 This company cut down bitternut trees,
which belonged to 15 people.\u00a0 Among the 15 owners, we now know two owners Saw Nay K”sein 60 bitternut trees damage and Saw Bu Ghu 35 bitternut trees
damage but the other owners are unknown. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 11\/10\/04 the same troop and commander forced 5 villagers from Aung Cha Tha 30 from Pau Pi Der and on 12\/10\/04 this commander forced 15 more villagers from Aung Cha Tha.\u00a0 All 50 people were forced to build the camp until it finished but is not finished yet. <\/p>\n

–\u00a0 On 20\/10\/04 at 10:20 am the SPDC troop LIB 390 came down at Ta Kaw Der villagers’ farm and opened fire in Ler Doh Township. <\/p>\n

V.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SPDC Activities <\/p>\n

In early October, the SPDC troop in Kaw La Wah Lu launched a clash at Ler Klah tract in Mone Township against the KNLA.\u00a0 The troop was LIB 389 and in the whole areas of Mone Township in Kler Lwe Htu district the SPDC military regime have planned to do the operation, destroy and hinder our people in the coming harvest time. <\/p>\n

IX.\u00a0 Analysis<\/span><\/p>\n

Our hearts went out to the villagers we encountered, from their livingconditions to their health.\u00a0 They are living in very hostile conditions and unstable settlements, even in the midst of the cease fire.\u00a0 Regardless, the villagers we encountered were filled with hope. <\/p>\n

Half of the villagers we visited were animist and were very excited about our work.\u00a0 One of our major weak points was the size of our team, we were not able to do as much as we would have liked due to the outside
circumstances mentioned above. <\/p>\n

Despite our weaknesses, we also have many strengths such as organizing villagers and explaining our mission.\u00a0 Many villagers were excited about our work and grateful for the assistance we provided. <\/p>\n

X.\u00a0 Conclusion<\/span><\/p>\n

We visited (4) village area and treated (879) persons.\u00a0 Insufficient medicine,educational problems and unstable situations was the foundation of many of our problems.\u00a0 We cannot help them without further support and wish
to extend and upgrade our children and youth program (Good Life Clubsupplies).\u00a0 We found that not only is this generation living in tragedy, but next generation’s future is certainly gloomy.\u00a0 We encourage everyone to pray for hope and our ability to bring education, medicine and peace. <\/p>\n

We plan to go again and are now preparing for a follow on mission. We hope that medicine, bibles, hymnals and other materials can be arranged to assist us in our next mission and help us to attain our goal of providing for as
many needs as possible.\u00a0 \u00a0 “FRATERNAL LOVE WILL BRING PEACE INTO FREEDOM”<\/p>\n
