1 KAREN REFUGEE COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER & MONTHLY REPORT OCTOBER, 2010

2 Karen Refugee Committee Newsletter & Monthly Report October, 2010 Introduction If we reflect on the trials we have gone through this month, still we are more blessed than some people, especially the internally displaced persons who have no stable lives in their hide and seek areas. In September, a rumor spread that the Thai government would repatriate the refugees after November 7 th elections in Burma. The news really worried the camp residents. Nevertheless, their worries receded after the Thai Foreign Minister, on Mae La Camp and clarified about the news to the camp people on October 22nd. The clarification by the Thai Foreign Minister is included in this report. Although Thailand did not sign the Geneva protocol to receive refugees, the KRC has no doubt that we have been sheltered over two decades in Thailand due to the sympathy of the Thai people and the Thai government. We sincerely offer our gratitude to the Thai government and Thai people for their understanding and humanitarian spirit. The KRC s presented a letter of expression of best wishes to the Thai foreign Minister during his visit to Mae La camp on 22 nd October The Thai foreign Minister Mr. Kasit Piromya was accompanied by the following leaders: Communication Department, Policy Department, 3 rd Army Commander, Governor, (Tak province) Thai Ambassador to Burma. The KRC representative and camp committee were also present on the occasion of his visit. The Thai foreign minister clarified and highlighted that: (a) The rumor of repatriation is just a misinterpretation. (b) Burma will have a new government after the election; we hope Burma will gradually proceed to a new peaceful democratic era. It requires us to prepare for returning home once democracy restoration has taken place. We have come to see you as we are responsible for the benefit of both you and us. (c) We need both responsible--thai authority and NGOs--to discuss beforehand all necessary preparations. (d) We, therefore, need to know what preparation you will need to be discussed with NGOs and make necessary readiness. (e) The changing to a democratic country cannot take place overnight. The changes usually take place slowly and step-by step. (f) We thank you for your willingness to return if peace and guaranty of peace is restored in Burma. It is also important to give ears to your needs and working together with relevant organizations. The Karen Refugee Committee and camp committee also explained that the return would be based on genuine changes that may happened, and it will take time to assess the situation with respect of democracy and human rights restoration. Your Comments are Welcome!
