Burma Human Rights Network’s report: “We also have dreams”
Barbed wire fencing in camp 8E
“Yes, it feels safe, but they(security forces or camp authorities) make people suffer by snatching
phones, money, and robbing. But the camp is safer because of their presence here.” A 28-year-old
man told BHRN.
A 25-year-old woman said, “If someone informs them(the police) of something, then they demand
money. Or else, they beat the person down if they don’t get money and imprison the person then and
there. That’s why we feel afraid as we don’t have money in the camp. As they are here as security
forces, where can we get things to give them if they ask us?”
