Health and human rights in Eastern Burma
This report summarises the data of a population-based survey which was undertaken to assess the health and human rights situation across parts of four states and two divisions that comprise the eastern states of Burma as a whole. A former survey was performed in 2004, the results of which were published in the report Chronic Emergency, which focused mainly on conflict zones within Karen, Karenni, and Mon States. This report builds upon the methodology of and issues dealt with in Chronic Emergency, and covers a much larger geographic area, including southern Shan State and Tenasserim Division. In addition, this survey covers a wider range of political and conflict contexts throughout eastern Burma, ranging from areas of ongoing low-level conflict, to areas of fluctuating control and others controlled by armed ethnic groups which have a ceasefire agreement with Burma’s military regime

"Secret Genocide is a scholarly book on the plight of the Karen of Burma. Author Daniel Pedersen writes about the secret genocide of the Karen people at the hands of the Burmese junta, who use murder, rape, forced labour and torture to quell their enemies. Decades after the Karen took up arms against Rangoon; there is no telling when - or if - their struggle for a secure homeland will finally be accomplished"
