Shwe Gas
The Shwe Gas Movement has recently published a new report about the severe humanitarian abuses and environmental damage caused by the development of the gas pipeline in Western Burma. This report, 'Supply and Command: Natural Gas in Western Burma set to entrench military rule,' presents a powerful indictment of the Burmese military regime's handling of the development. The SPDC fails to regulate the work, with the result that the companies involved have impunity from prosectution for the severe environmental damage which they are creating. At the same time, forced relocation, forced labour and military abuses of civilians by the Burmese army have made many people flee across the border or forced them to become Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
The Shwe Gas Movement is appealing for signatures to its On-Line Petition. Burma Action Ireland is asking you to
