Kler Lwee Htoo District

Updated June 7, 2003

The following is one of our members experience during September to December 2002 in this district:
During this trip I have the opportunity to visit 14 schools. The activities of the SPDC trooops are always changing and for sure this is the 'free fire zone' against our people. They consider our people as animals and kill us no matter how old the villager is. Man or woman doesn't matter. On October 29, 2002 SPDC entered Kaw Po Khi village and shot and injured three year old Naw Hsa Bee. Her older sister rescued her and they hid in the jungle all night. Their family were captured and there is no report yet about them.

On 19-11-2002 in Kyaw Ker Khee village, 10 students and 1 teacher were taken away by SPDC and we still don't know about them. Everywhere I go I see the SPDC destoying our school materials and stealing our food and killing our animals. Another thing was when I visited Blay Blaw Soe primary school, a school teacher named Naw Htoe Htoe explained how SPDC soldiers abused her because she came to the village to work in the school. They accused her of working with the rebel group. Her life is in danger.

All of Karen schools in this district are 30 minutes to 1 day walk from SPDC outposts. Since June 2002, KTWG's Education Fund provided 49,000 Baht for schools in this district. Click here to view KEF distribution in 2002.
