Video: Displaced children in northern Karen State

Posted by Jason Goroncy on 5 June, 2008

In December 2007, Burma Army soldiers operating under Military Operations Command (MOC) #4 conducted a series of attacks against villages in the Th’Ay Kee area of southeastern Toungoo District, northern Karen State. This Karen Human Rights Group video includes footage of the initial attack and the following days as children and their families from the Th’Ay Kee area continued to flee on foot in order to evade the Burma Army soldiers who were hunting them down.
