Burmese refugees in the Malaysian jungle
I wrote a story for the annual Suaram (NGO) human rights report about the situation for Christian Burmese who have fled persecution, only to be exploited and vulnerable once they arrive to Malaysia. Many have resorted to living in the jungle to avoid harassment.
I just discovered that Malaysiakini (an alternative online newspaper here that cannot be censored since it is only online) has a story about my story.
