A Russian-backed mining project in Burma?s war-torn Shan State will permanently destroy the homes and farmlands of 7,000 Pa-O villagers, according to a new report by the Pa-O Youth Organization (PYO). Russian and Italian engineering companies are reportedly working together to develop a massive iron ore mine that will "decimate" Mount Pinpet or "Pinetree Mountain" in the eastern Burmese state of Shan.
