Currently I am working on a reportage about Thai cloth factories near the Burmese border which are caging refugees. I just came back from the Karen State in Burma and the surrounding refugee camps on both sides. It is amazing how huge these camps are. There are no accurate numbers – the latest TBBC report of June 2010 states 102.000 refugees but most people in that area believe that more than 200.000 refugees are currently living in the area around the camp. Most researchers are talking about half a million Burmese people which have been displaced by the Burmese militaryJunta.
