4 Monthly Report of Mon National Relief Com (December, 1997) The Situation of Refugees in 1997 The situation did not improve much for the Mon refugees (the returnees a neous repatriation without international monitoring in early 1996), to create self-re selves when they were remaining in the Thai-Burma border areas. Even though th forceasefire agreement with the military regime SLORC (currently is renamed as Development Council, SPDC), which directly effected to refugee repatriation, this a not guarantee for the survival of the refugees. The government's military offensiv season against the KNU also forced many thousands of villagers to take refuge in The refugees (the returnees) have been remained in camp situation as bef Thai-Burma borderline but inside Burmese territories. These camps are very clo fields between the KNU and SPDC troops, they are very vulnerable from the attac the government troops launched military operation, these camps are used as tem 1. The situation in Halockhani: The population grew with Karen refugee On May 10, 1997, about 100 SLORC troops from IB No. 106 led by Major Halockhani refugee camp and took base for five days. These Burmese troops cam check the border-line with Thai authorities. On May 11, both Thai and Burmese a ally checked the borderline but no agreement was reached between them but the continuously took base in the camp. Another reason mentioned by the SLORC they had responsibility to launch an offensives against the KNU troops in th Halockhani. Within these days, the refugees were very afraid and the tension be and SLORC was intensified. Because of the consistent offensives against the KNU, many local villages w viously under control of the KNU, were occupied by SLORC and it built new m ment in these villages by using forced labour of the villagers. Some villages we relocated to the designated villages where SLORC troops took bases. Some Kare killed by Burmese troops with accusation of rebel soldiers or rebel-supporters. M ers were arrested to use them as frontline porters or forced labourers to work military encampment in the respective control areas. Normally, these villagers w accused as rebel-supporters, and the abuses against them committed by the B were inhumane. Because of the systematic persecution against the ethnic Karen villagers rural villages by the Burmese troops, thousands of Karen villagers displaced inside their native places or others fled to the border area to take refuge in refugee cam inside Thailand was also closed whenever there was no gun sound or no fighting a areas, according to the Thai government policy on Burmese refugees. There wa area close to Halockhani and the Karen refugees were blocked in a village, Htee W tion of the camp. Initially, this small village had only 500 population. During the SLORC of KNU, many thousands of Karen villagers were homeless and the population in th was suddenly increased with new arrivals. The villagers from K ya-inn-seikyi tow
5 State and Ye township of Mon State fled to this village due to four-month-lo rights abuses in their native villages. In May, the population in the village su 2,000. In the rainy season, from June to September, even the war was stopped fightings were continuous and there was no improvement in human rights si end of July, when the two boats carried the Burmese soldiers returned to Ky these boats were drowned by flood water in Zami river. In this case, the S arrested many Karen villagers to take the arms and equipments from water. villagers also forced them to flee homes and take refuge in Halockhani camp. In the third week of September, the SLORC's LIB No. 355 and 356 ord and Karen villages in Kya-Inn-Seikyi township to vacant and move into their d ment villages. The deadline for this forced relocation was on October 15. B many villagers were displaced and hundreds of them fled into Halockhani ref same time, about 7 villages along the Three-Pagoda-Pass - Thanbyuzayat mo forcibly relocated. In November, the population in small Karen section grew In November, about 76 of Mon refugees from Prachuab Kirichan area ated to Halockhani after another split among the MAMD group, a breakaway Mergui district area. (see the situation in Prachuab area) Although MNRC has encouraged them to grow rice, the situation outs fighting and other human rights abuses, the refugees could not go further to refugees were likely blocked inside an area and could not easily created sel selves. Thus, they are still needing assistance from outside. 2. The Refugees in Tavoy District Area The Tavoy district area is recognized as temporary troop location zon SLORC accordingly to the NMSP-SLORC ceasefire agreement in The from the area and but NMSP and SLORC agreed to recognize the area as no SLORC also did not deploy their troops in the area. The early 1996 repatria longer reside in this area because of the mentioned agreement. In April, when the NMSP troops left from the area, the refugees felt thei safe and many hundreds of them moved into Bee Ree camp or some left into same time, the SLORC base is very close to this area and the fighting betwe KNU troops always happened. During dry season when the refugees tried to make farm in the area, s arrested and tortured by SLORC troops with accusation they were supporters The SLORC troops also collected tax from the villagers who made farms. Thu been very unsafe for the refugees and the population was low down. Since t unsafe, this campsite accepted a very few new arrivals who escaped from t forced labour for the government's road building projects in Tenasserim Divis By comparing with refugees in other campsites, the refugees in Tavoy lost their chance to make more farm. Furthermore, whenever the SPDC troop
6 base in the area, the refugees must have to leave their campsite. Because of the difficult situation to grow rice and create self-reliance in the. provide full supplies to those refugees.. 3. The Refugees in Bee Ree Camp The security in Bee Ree camp has been posed the most safe among all c administration of the MNRC The refugees in this camp have more chance to gro could move outside of their area without restriction. Thus, the main offices for ed agriculture and women are resided there. The Mon National High School is run in this camp and the Mon National H tee also particularly provided medical trainings to produce new Health Workers gees and Mon villagers deep inside Burmese territory. The Mon Women Organiz often provided several kinds of trainings such as literacy, sewing, nursing, wome and etc.,. to refugee women. The population in the camp have been grown with new arrivals who ca district area. The MNRC helped them for new settlement. The camp also acce arrivals from Ye township area after the villages were relocated in September. fighting between the KNU and SLORC troops, about six ethnic Mon plus Kare relocated by forces into SLORC designated resettlement village, K yaung Ywa. This campsite is situated in mountainous area and the refugees could not m like lowland area farms. All rice production in the whole area could not provide all refugees and they are still relied on the assistance provided by MNRC 4. The Prachuab Refugees: Nowhere to. run In April, many hundreds of Mon refugees from Chaungchi area fled into T of the consistent fighting close to the area. They took temporary refuge inside T one month. On May 25, the NMSP's breakaway group MAMD surrendered to then Thai and Burmese authorities encouraged the refugees to return Burmese t refugees were afraid to return because the SLORC troops already took base in the June 6, these refugees were repatriated with inadequate international monitoring There was no more follow-up international monitoring after they were re villagers were constantly conscripted as forced labourers to build the SLORC m ments in. their villages and there was no reconstruction assistance provided by t The SLORC troops also arrested the villagers to use them as frontline porters in of the KNU. Because of this mis-treatments committed by the SLORC troops, in J dreds of villagers fled into Thai territory again. But they were not recognized as th were recently repatriated and no protection assistance was provided by the intern zation and Thai authorities. They were not allowed to be encamped inside Th were pushed to a dangerous place where the SLORC troops could re-arrest them after they had no choice, all of them separated into many areas inside Thailand and immigrant workers. Because of the SLORC's mis-treatment and the daily suffering of the villager members disagreed to cooperate with SLORC On November 16, a small group l
7 commander split from the main MAMD again. Because of this conflict, many hundre ers fled into Thai territory again. About 60 of them were arrested by the Thai borde. they were repatriated to Halockhani camp on November 22, by Ninth Division o Army. The other villagers became illegal immigrant workers. Thus only few hu villagers remain inside MAMD controlled area. The MNRC could not get access to the MAMD controlled area where the re returned since this breakaway group surrendered to SLORC. But MNRC contacted leaders and tried to help the returnees by secret way. The MNRC could help much to who left inside Thai territory during in months from June through October. They w in many plantation areas and the MNRC members could get access directly to the provided the needs. After they had jobs or could created self-reliance by themselves stopped helping. Conclusion Although the MNRC has strong desires to encourage the refugees to be aid-in the situation inside the respective areas did not allow them to make and produced their families. These refugees are also well-informed the human rights situation in th and they must not return their native villages in near future. Thus, as a local organization, the MNRC, on behalf of the Mon and Karen re campsite, would like to request the international organizations to continuously help less and helpless population with food, educational, health assistance and others.
