HC Deb 26 October 1999 vol 336 c804W
Mr. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of Burma regarding the alleged massacres at Kwei and Hpway Plaw villages, and the killings at Ta Hpo Hkee and the Tavoy District; and if he will make a statement. [95669]

Mr. Battle

We had heard reports of these appalling events, but have been unable to substantiate the details. We remain deeply concerned about human rights violations against the Karen and other ethnic minorities in Burma and raise our concerns regularly with the military regime. We will continue to do so.
