 on the Borderline: Surviving Genocide in Burma
For more than 40 years the military regime of Burma has waged genocide against the estimated 20 million Karen, Shan, Mon and other ethnic people of Burma. The junta uses rape, torture, landmines, slavery and murder to force these people from their homes in order to exploit the riches of their lands. The international community, for the most part, has looked the other way.

Some have managed to escape Burma and now, as refugees, they are imprisoned and forgotten in primitive camps along the Thai/Burma border. Haunted by the horror of their past in Burma and dealing with the suffering of their present living conditions in the camps, these are a people with little hope for the future. These are their stories and one small grassroots organization that is making a difference on the borderline.Copyright Gael MacLean Social Sciences
