************************************************************* NEWS ON MIGRANTS ************************************************************* 8 killed in Thai road accident BANGKOK - AT LEAST seven Myanmar migrant workers and a Thai man were killed in a road accident in Thailand on Monday as suspected traffickers tried to flee police in a border area, officials said. Police tried to stop a pick-up truck to search for illegal migrants from Thailand's poorer western neighbour, but the driver sped up to avoid the checkpoint and slammed into an electricity pylon. Seven women and a man from Myanmar were also seriously injured in the crash, which happened in the province of Kanchanaburi, about 128km west of Bangkok, near the border with Myanmar. 'Among the eight dead at the crash scene were seven Myanmar men and one Thai, who was the driver,' said Police Lieutenant-Colonel Boonrat Ploenkootham. 'They are illegal workers and were heading to find work somewhere... The car veered off the road and hit an electricity pole,' he added.

According to the labour ministry, about 540,000 migrants are registered to work in Thailand, most of them from Myanmar, but as many as one million undocumented workers are believed to be in the kingdom. In April this year, 54 migrants from Myanmar suffocated to death in a cold-storage container while being smuggled to Thailand to escape desperate conditions at home. Migrants flee low wages, high unemployment, poor education and harassment by the military in Myanmar, often only to face abuse, persecution and exploitation in Thailand, human rights workers say. – AFP

************************************************************* Still no prosecution in tragic death of 54 Myanmar migrants Posted: 2008/12/15 From: MNN Although 66 survivors in the same vehicle have become witnesses during the investigation, their smugglers have yet to be brought to justice. The tragic death of 54 illegal Myanmar migrants from suffocation in a seafood container in Ranong province eight months ago, has drawn great attention to the plight of Myanmar job seekers who are willing to risk their lives in search of what they believe to be a better life. Yet eight months on….the prosecution of the smugglers has proven no easy task. This cemetery became the unwanted destination of those ill-fated Myanmar illegal migrants who died of suffocation while crammed in an unventilated seafood container in April 2008 in the southern Thai province of Ranong. Although 66 survivors in the same vehicle have become witnesses during the investigation, their smugglers have yet to be brought to justice. According to a report of the Department of Special Investigation or DSI, migrant worker smuggling gangs in Ranong, just opposite Myanmar shoreline, are a thriving business, with about 12 Thai smuggling syndicates working closely with them. The criminal networks have become more powerful by using violence against those who turn against them. "As the trial went on, our witness was shot dead. The gangs used violence to threaten the migrant workers," said Pol Lt-Col Pongin Inthornkao, a DSI investigator. Because of a legal loophole, 8 people accused in the April 10 suffocation tragedy were filed only with light charge-- providing shelter for illegal migrants and causing death to other persons by recklessness. The 66 Myanmar survivors were charged with illegal entry. "Only a charge of recklessness causing death to a person can’t lead to the seizure of the assets of any wrongdoer under the money laundering bill," said Thanu Eakchote, a lawyer of Myanmar survivors. Although a new law to strictly prevent human trafficking was enforced in mid 2008,

law-enforcement agencies express concern it might not bring wrongdoers to conviction as the new law can be enforced only if a forced labour case occurs. The tragic April 2008 death of the Myanmar illegal migrants was not the first time it’s happened. Since 2007, at least 92 Myanmar migrants have died, while an unknown number have been smuggled into the kingdom. But despite an uncertain fate awaiting at their destination, it seems unlikely to deter Myanmar migrants from fleeing poor conditions in their homeland in search of a better life.

************************************************************* Thailand's new PM likely to be more 'pro-Active' on Burma: Activist by Mungpi Monday, 15 December 2008 20:49 New Delhi (Mizzima) - Thailand's opposition leader, Abhisit Vejjajiva, has been elected as the country's new Prime Minister after winning a special vote in Parliament on Monday. Abhisit, on Monday, won 235 votes, edging out Pracha Promnok who received 198 votes, to become Thailand's 27th Prime Minister. The 44-year old Abhisit, who was born in Britain, will also become the fifth Prime Minister of Thailand within a period of less than two-and-a-half years. The election came after Thailand's constitutional court in early December forced former Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat to resign. Somchai and his Peoples Power Party, along with two other parties, were charged for election fraud related to polls convened over a year previously. While electing Abhisit as the new Prime Minister seems to provide at least a momentary end to the political deadlock that has dragged on in Thailand for months, supporters of the ousted government, known as the red-shirts, on Monday reacted furiously – rampaging through barricades and preventing MPs from leaving Parliament. While the election of Abhisit as the new Prime Minister signals an end to the immediate political crisis, Burmese pro-democracy activists based in Thailand said Abhisit's new government is more likely to take a pro-active role regarding Burma's politics. According to Nyo Ohn Myint, in-charge of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the exiled National League for Democracy-Liberated Area (NLD-LA), with his fair knowledge and understanding of political situation in Burma, Abhisit is likely to be more pro-active than other earlier Thai governments. Abhisit, during a conference on 'Safeguarding Democracy – Role of Opposition,' held in Bangkok on Saturday, acknowledged that Thailand's former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, had used Thailand's foreign policy to make personal deals with Burma's military junta.

Nyo Ohn Myint, who was also a participant in the conference, said Abhisit, during an informal discussion, had promised to be more 'pro-active' towards Burma's political crisis if elected as the new head of state. "I also made a point to him that, as a neighbor, Burma's political problems impact on Thailand," Nyo Ohn Myint added. Nyo Ohn Myint said that while it is still too early to predict what will be Thailand's foreign policy under the newly elected Premier, it would look more positive if the leaders do not have any personal business connections with Burma's military rulers. Thaksin, Thailand's former Prime Minister, now in exile, during his tenure conducted lucrative business deals with Burma's military junta. Critics said Thaksin used Thailand's foreign policy to deal with Burma's military junta for personal gain. "I believe that if the new elected leaders of Thailand do not have personal business ties with Burma's military rulers, Thailand could take a better position on Burma," Nyo Ohn Myint speculated. Thailand, with its ongoing political crisis, is unlikely to have Burma as a major focus of its any new foreign policy, but Nyo Ohn Myint said the Thai government is likely to more sympathetic towards Burmese refugees and migrants. Thailand currently hosts over two million Burmese migrant workers, who are employed in varied fields of work, including the sex industry. Additionally, there are some 140,000 Burmese refugees eking out a survival in nine camps along the ThaiBurmese border.

************************************************************* Four engine boats leave for Malaysia with boat-people in a month Monday, 15 December 2008 Maungdaw, Arakan State: Four engine boats with nearly 400 boat-people left for Malaysia from Burma and Bangladesh territorial waters in a month (30days), said a broker in Shapuri Dip, Bangladesh. On November 30, about 108 boat-people from Aley Than Kyaw and Myinn Hlut village tracts of Maungdaw Township left for Malaysia. The engine boat left from Moesh Khali island of Cox's Bazar district, Bangladesh. But the boat was seized in Thailand and all the boat-people have been sent to Rangoon, according to information received from a relative of boat-people. This engine boat left for Maylaysia under the supervision of brokers Noor Mohamed (40), hailing from Than Da Para and Montazul Hoque (30) of Myinn Hlut village with the help of Nasaka Commander of Nasaka Area No. 7 and 8. Besides, some other brokers have been identified as Yunus (shopkeeper) of Ward No.5, Nozumullah of Ward No.1, Md. Islam from Min Ga Hla Gyi village, Shalam of Ward No.5, Mahabul of Ward No.2, Zubair from Gaw Dhu Thar Ya village of Nasaka area No.7, Village PDC Chairman Noor Mamood of Warr Cha Para, Ayas

from Pounzg Zaar village, Korimullah of Gyigkan Pyin village and Maung Sein from Ngar Sa Kyeu village of Nasaka area No.6, are the brokers of boat-people. They all are from Maungdaw Township. The brokers with the help of Commanders of Nasaka area No.5, 6, 7 and 8 collected the boat-people for Malaysia by taking kyat 600,000 to 300,000 per head. Half of the money was paid to the authorities before departure to Malaysia and the rest would have been paid after reaching Malaysia. There were agreements between the brokers and boat-people that they would pay the money after selling their house and property, if they failed to send the rest of the money from Malaysia. If the boat-people are arrested in Thailand, India, Burma and Bangladesh, they will not be allowed to enter their mother land again. They have been struck off their family list. So, most of the boat-people were stranded in Bangladesh after their journey was cut short. On November 24, another engine boat was seized along with about 47 boat-people by the Maggyi Chaung Nasaka camp of Nasaka area No. 7, but they were released after taking kyat 100,000 per head. The boat was under the supervision of broker Kyaw Myint, hailing from Pan Daw Pyin village with the collaboration of the concerned Nasaka Commander. But, in this boat, 43 other boat people were canceled from the list of people going because they were unable to pay the full amount of money. They were also struck off the family list. They are now wandering from place to place to avoid arrest, said a local elder who declined to be named. Another boat with about 100 boat-people also left for Malaysia from Burma territory on an unconfirmed date, a fisherman said on condition of anonymity. On December I, about 100 boat-people from Darga Para and La Baw Zaar village of Maungdaw Township including some boat-people from Buthidaung Township left for Malaysia under the supervision of brokers Md. Abbas (25), son of Kalu, hailing from Fran Pru village of Maungdaw Township. The engine boat left from Fran Pru village with the help of Nasaka Sector Commander Major Than Htay. The brokers collected kyat 400,000 per boat-people. The boat reached Thailand on December 7, and was seized by Thai authorities. About 400 boat people were detained in Thailand a, according to a relative of boat-people in Malaysia.

************************************************************* Raising awareness of migrant abuse in Indonesia JAKARTA - In 2004, Rima, a domestic helper in Hong Kong, was repeatedly beaten and raped by her employer until she met a fellow Indonesian who took her to the police. In December 2001, the badly beaten and bruised body of 19-year-old Muawanatul Chasanah, a domestic helper in Singapore for nine months, was found in what became known as "the worst maid abuse case" in the city-state.

These are just two stories chronicled in Dreamseekers: Indonesian Women as Domestic Workers in Asia, published by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2006. They are just a fraction of the thousands of cases of abuse against Indonesian female migrant workers, many of which go unreported. "Everybody believes there is substantial under-reporting," Lotte Kejser, chief technical adviser for trafficking in the ILO's Jakarta office, told IRIN. About 80 percent of workers leaving the country are women seeking work as domestic helpers. And over the past decade, according to the National Commission on Violence Against Women Indonesia, incidents of violence against Indonesian women have steadily increased. Awareness raising To draw attention to this abuse, the commission and rights agencies have been campaigning to raise awareness among Indonesian women of their rights. The campaign, said Sri Wiyanti Eddyono, a commissioner, was organised at the community level, with the commission working with local NGOs to conduct forums or theatre productions to make women more informed and, therefore, empowered. "Last year, the cases of violence against domestic workers [employed abroad] was huge - around 5,000 of the reported 22,000," Sri Wiyanti told IRIN. "This year, we gathered more than 25,000 reports from across the country and overseas." She said their statistics included cases of domestic violence, migrant worker exploitation, women trafficking and sexual abuse. Migrant worker abuse and domestic violence, she said, made up the majority of reported cases. The campaign against violence is organised at the community level with forums or theater productions meant to make women more informed and, therefore, empowered "Overseas domestic workers are probably the group of workers that experience the most systematic form of abuse - sexual, physical, mental," Kejser said, explaining that their work situation often rendered them powerless and completely dependent on their employers. This year, with legislative and presidential elections scheduled for 2009, the commission is using the 16-day focus on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women to encourage women to put the issue high on the political agenda. "First on the list is the ratification of the convention on migrant workers," Sri Wiyanti said, referring to the UN Convention on Migrant Workers, a comprehensive international treaty regarding the protection of migrant workers' rights, which Indonesia has signed but not ratified. According to Kejser, Indonesian migrant workers are among the least protected in the world. From high placement fees and poor training to lack of legal papers and government support, low salaries and lack of benefits, Indonesian migrant workers fare worse than those from countries such as the Philippines.

"There is no clear explanation as to why the convention hasn't been ratified yet," she said, "but ratifying it would obligate the country to protect migrant workers, for instance, by lowering placement fees, negotiating better work conditions overseas, and ensuring better support from embassies.

************************************************************* NEWS ON REFUGEES ************************************************************* New Cambodia Laws May Curb NGO Activity By ANDREW NETTE / IPS WRITER Monday, December 15, 2008 PHNOM PENH — Cambodia could be the latest Asian country to adopt tighter laws governing the activities of local and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs)—a move many believe will put further pressure on the country’s already fragile democratic space. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen foreshadowed the move after the July national election in which his Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) was returned with a significantly increased majority. In a five-hour speech late September, Hun Sen said the law was necessary to track the funding sources of NGOs, as "he feared terrorists might settle in the kingdom under the guise of NGOs". The Prime Minister, who has had a fractious relationship with some local and international NGOs, also said: "NGOs are out of control...they insult the government just to ensure their financial survival." He said the law is one of three priority pieces of legislation for the government’s current five-year term, along with a new penal code and a much-anticipated anticorruption law delayed since the 1990s. Officials from the interior ministry, which has carriage for the law, have claimed it will address ‘serious irregularities’ such as NGOs setting up to exploit tax loopholes and their involvement in party politics, although no concrete evidence has been provided to support either claim. Debate over the proposed law is muted due to the fact its content remains unknown. Little information has been made public, unlike the government’s previous attempts to introduce laws governing NGOs, when drafts were either released for comment or leaked to the media. And although interior ministry officials have committed to public consultation, they have not said when the proposed legislation will be made available.

Secretary of State of the interior ministry, Nut Saan, and Under Secretary of State, Sieng Lapresse, both declined to be interviewed by IPS on the proposed legislation. The Cambodian government last attempted to introduce a law regulating NGO activities in 2005. That law banned NGOs and local organizations from supporting ‘activities for any political interests’ and providing ‘non-material, material financial means, and human resources in support of any political party’, but did not define what either meant. It contained more comprehensive registration and reporting procedures, and sanctions for failure to comply, including fines, jail sentences and suspension. Critics of the 2005 law were also concerned the interior ministry, a body they claim is not neutral, would have final say over the process of NGO registration and suspension. "At this moment in time no," said Borithy Lun, executive director of Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC), the country’s main NGO umbrella body, about whether the law is needed. "Any NGO operating in Cambodia is already registered with the Ministry of Interior if it is a local one and with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs if it is foreign. That is sufficient for the government in terms of knowing what they do and who they are." "Here, with the weak judiciary and lawlessness that we have, we don’t see any benefit from an NGO law," said Naly Pilorge, director of the prominent local human rights organisation Licadho. Further, NGOs say they are accountable to international donors who audit and evaluate their work and insist on regular reporting. "All NGOs operating in Cambodia also report regularly to line ministries they work with or directly to the Council of Development for Cambodia," said Borithy. CCC administers a self-regulating code of conduct, which he said is recognised internationally as best practice. In operation since 2004, Borithy would not comment on how many of CCC’s several hundred members had signed on, but stressed it set high reporting and governance benchmarks which not all local NGOs had the capacity to implement at this time. "If there is a need to have such a law we need it to be designed in a framework of open dialogue so that we can express our views on this important piece of legislation because this will surely impact on our work and those views should be legitimately reflected in the law," he said. "We agree that terrorism is an important issue," said Thun Saray, president of local rights group, ADHOC. "But the government should deal with it by other laws, not through an NGO law." "They don’t care about financial management or governance structure what they want to do is control the voice of NGOs," he said, echoing the opinion of many in the sector.

Many believe the law will squeeze democratic space in Cambodia, a trend some say is already underway post the July election, which left the opposition weakened and the ruling CPP in control of both houses of parliament.
