Laid Waste: Human Rights along the Kanbauk to Myaing Kalay gas pipeline

...Laid Waste documents the suffering of villagers along the 180-mile Kanbauk to Myaing
Kalay gas pipeline. Ten years after the pipeline’s initial construction, villagers along its
route continue to see their land seized and income taken as they are conscripted into
work as forced laborers and subject to arbitrary detentions, torture and summary
execution. This report is released at a time when international debate on appropriate
responses to the situation in Burma appears to be renewing. The discussion is healthy
and appreciated. But there should be no question: projects like the Kanbauk to Myaing
Kalay gas pipeline do not benefit the people of our country.
