I rise in strong support of the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act and urge my colleagues to join me in voting for this bill. There has been a brutal campaign of village burnings. destruction of rice supplies. killings by Burmese military. this outlaw regime. and it has resulted in displacement of between 500.000 and 1 million innocent citizens living in eastern Burma. Hundreds of thousands of these internal refugees we call internally displaced persons. IDPs. are persecuted for their commitment to democracy and their belief in human rights. These IDP victims are being systematically hunted down by the evil tyrants of this military regime in Burma.
