Burma is one of the poorest countries in the world.

It is ruled by one of the world’s most brutal regimes, guilty of every possible human rights violation. 

It also has one of the worst records of religious persecution in the world.

 

 

 

 

Speak up for the people of Burma in the face of new attacks

Over 2,000 Karen villagers were forced to flee their homes following a series of recent attacks by the Burma Army. At least five people have been killed, and ten houses have been burned down. Some villagers were attacked on their way to sell goods, while others were shot at while they were harvesting bamboo. This is just one more example of the unremitting cruelty of the Burmese regime.

CSW continues to call for the regime to be called to account for these crimes, and has been influential in shaping the Conservative Party’s policy on Burma which features calls for international action.
