Doctors call for UN inquiry into Chin State abuses in Burma
A group of doctors working on human rights issues is lobbying the United Nations to conduct an official inquiry into crimes against humanity in the western Burma China State.
Physicians for Human Rights has just released what they say is the first survey of the scale of abuses against the ethnic Chin people finding widespread forced labour and cases of killings, torture and rape. The group trained volunteers from health and community organisations within Burma to survey hundreds of families in Chin State hoping to document anecdotal reports of human rights abuses.
