QUESTIONS FOR THAILAND
Prime Minister Thaksin of Thailand visited Burma February 9-10. In response to this visit, and as a submission to the Free Burma Coalition�s national conference at George Washington University, February 15-16, Dictator Watch announces the release of three new reports and one photo essay. These document Thailand�s support for the Burmese junta�s program of ethnic cleansing along their shared border, and they include information regarding refugees, internally displaced persons, attacked villages, the use of porters resulting in death, and �Black Zones.�
The reports and photo essay are:
- The Fifty-Five That Disappeared
- Sixty-Three Lives That Do Not Matter, Persecuted in Burma - Denied Sanctuary in Thailand
- The Yielding of Thai Sovereignty
- Reasons to be a Refugee (photo essay)
