Details: Minority ethnic group are being oppressed. As a result, there are more than 150,000 refugees in Thai camps, who have fled war and violence, and in Burma, there are about 500,000 reported refugees. As the militaristic government continues to rule, there is little hope for this problem to be solved. The other day, Karen refugees from Mae-La camp in Thailand arrived in Japan as third-country resettlement refugees. What are these refugee people like?
