The Burmese Government engages in horrifying human rights violations against numerous religious and ethnic minorities. I met a few weeks ago with a group of Christians from Burma. Reports tell of one Karen family which fled Burma after the military forced the husband to help build a pipeline for the UNOCAL and TOTAL oil companies. The husband escaped the forced labor. but soldiers hunted him down. then tortured his wife and seriously burned their 2monthold baby. The baby died. and the rest of the family fled to refugee camps in Thailand. This story is not unusual for the Karen and Chin peoples of Burma. Mr.
