FBR REPORT:  Karen State, Burma 1 February, 2010

Dear Friends,

Here are more photos of people fleeing the recent attacks in Karen State, Burma. This set of pictures includes a picture of a villager who has been decapitated by the Burma Army (image blurred to make less graphic. It is the last photo in the set if you do not wish to see it). Also included are pictures of Burma Army troops on the way to attack the Karen, and victims of forced labor. This photo set follows the report and photos we sent out fro here in Karen State, earlier this week. For the earlier report please see www.freeburmarangers.org report: UPDATE OF BURMA ARMY ATTACKS, MURDERS, DISPLACEMENT AND FORCED LABOR IN KAREN STATE, BURMA.

Thanks so much helping us put a light on the situation in Burma and thanks to the news agencies who help get the word out.

May God bless you,

A Relief Team Leader, Free Burma Rangers
