Burma Human Rights Network’s report: “We also have dreams”
Refugees nearby as fire spreads in camp 8E
The same 40-year-old woman told BHRN, “As you are staying in the camp, you also know that fires
are being set everywhere. Our shelters have been burnt down as well as all of our things. Everything
we had. We had some jewelry that was kept in an iron box that was lost in the fire. We are always
stressed since our shelter burned down. We can’t sleep now. We weren’t tortured by the Myanmar
government in the way we are being tortured here. It’s often heard that the fire is set in a place. After
some time, it is set in another. As a result, we have to stay awake. If a person can’t sleep nor eat,
and is also stressed, then what do you think the person will be like?”
