PRESS RELEASE
February 22, 1995
The Karen have abandoned Kawmoora after intensive shelling and
gassing by the SLORC troops.
The Kawmoora fighters said the SLORC troops fired an undetermined
type of gas into the base which made some of the fighters unconscious and
others unable to breathe.
As always, our thoughts and hearts are with the long suffering
people of Burma. We have not forgotten them and remain dedicated to
their aspirations for freedom. We are more determined than ever to work
together with other democratic forces to bring about a truly democratic,
peaceful, and prosperous Burma.
We appeal to the international community, governments and
non-governmental organizations for emergency assistance for the
refugees. We also call for international action to stop the SLORC
military regime's attacks on the Karen people.
