ထိုင္းႏုိင္ငံ မယ္ေဟာင္ေဆာင္ခ႐ိုင္ရွိ မယ္ရာမိုဒုကၡသည္စခန္းတြင္ ေရလႊမ္းမိုးမႈႀကီးမားလာၿပီး ယေန႔တြင္ လူေနအိမ္ေျခ ၄၀၀ ေက်ာ္အထိ ေရနစ္ျမွဳပ္မႈတိုးလာေသာ္လည္း ေရေဘးဒုကၡသည္မ်ားကို သြားေရာက္ကူညီရန္ သြားလာေရး အဆင္မေျပဘဲ ခက္ခဲလွ်က္ရွိသည္ဟု ကရင္ဒုကၡသည္ေကာ္မတီ(KRC)က ေျပာသည္။

မဲ့စရင္းရွိ ကရင္ဒုကၡသည္ေကာ္မတီ႐ံုးမွ ေစာတူးတူးက “ေရက မေလ်ာ့ဘဲ တက္လာေတာ့ အိမ္ေတြက ၄၀၀ေက်ာ္အထိ ေရ ျမွဳပ္လာတယ္။ ဒုကၡသည္ေတြကို သြားကူညီဖို႔ တာလပတ္ေတြ TBBC က လာေပးထားေပမဲ့ သယ္ယူၿပီး သြားပို႔ဖို႔က လမ္းမွာ လည္း သစ္ကိုင္းက်ဳိး လမ္းပိတ္ေနတာေၾကာင့္ သြားရခက္ေနေသးတယ္။”ဟု ဆိုသည္။

အလားတူ မယ္ရာမိုစခန္းႏွင့္ ၁၅ကီလိုမီတာ ကြာေ၀းသည့္ မယ္လအူးဒုကၡသည္စခန္းတြင္လည္း မိႈင္းလံုးႀကီးေခ်ာင္းေရေၾကာင့္ လူေနအိမ္ ၃၉လုံးလည္း နစ္ျမႇဳပ္သြားခဲ့ၿပီး စခန္းႏွစ္ခုစလံုးတြင္ စာသင္ေက်ာင္းမ်ားကို ပိတ္ထားရသည္ဟု သိရသည္။

KRC ၀န္ထမ္းတဦးက “ဒီစခန္းႏွစ္ခုက နီးနီးေလးပဲေလ။ မိႈင္းလံုးႀကီး(မူယူ)ေခ်ာင္းကလည္း စခန္း ၂ခုၾကားမွာရွိေတာ့ မယ္လ အူးဘက္မွာလည္း ေခ်ာင္းေရတက္လာၿပီး အိမ္ ၃၉လံုး ေရျမဳပ္သြားတာ မယ္ရာမိုေလာက္ အေျခအေန အရမ္းႀကီးေတာ့ မဆိုး ဘူးေပါ့။ ဒါေပမဲ့ ေက်ာင္းေတြကေတာ့ စခန္း ၂ခုလံုး ပိတ္ထားရတယ္။”ဟု ေျပာသည္။

ၾသဂုတ္လ ၃ရက္ေန႔မွစ၍ ျမင့္တက္လာသည့္ အဆုိပါေခ်ာင္းေရသည္ မယ္ရာမုိစခန္းရွိ ရပ္ကြက္(၇)ရပ္ကြက္မွ လူေနအိမ္မ်ား ႏွင့္ ရိကၡာဆန္ဂိုေဒါင္မ်ားကို လႊမ္းမိုးသြားရာမွ ယေန႔တြင္ စခန္းရွိ ခရစ္ယာန္ ဘုရားရွိခိုးေက်ာင္း ၁လုံး ထပ္မံ ေရနစ္ျမဳပ္သြားၿပီး ေရေဘးဒဏ္သင့္ ကေလးငယ္မ်ား၏ ပညာေရးကို ထိခိုက္ကာ က်န္းမာေရးအတြက္လည္း စိုးရိမ္ပူပန္ရေၾကာင္း KRC က ေျပာ သည္။

GENEVA / BANGKOK – United Nations Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children, Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, will begin an official visit to Thailand from 8 to 19 August to examine the impact of anti-trafficking measures in the country. “During my mission, I wish to reach out to a wide range of stakeholders and trafficked persons themselves, so that their voices are heard and can be considered in the national laws, policies and measures related to trafficking in persons,” the Special Rapporteur said.

“I look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue with the Government to discuss progress and remaining challenges in the fight against trafficking in persons,” she noted. Ms. Ezeilo is an independent expert mandated by the UN Human Rights Council to advocate the prevention of trafficking in persons in all its forms and the adoption of measures to uphold and protect the human rights of victims of trafficking in persons.

The Special Rapporteur will visit Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Mae Sot, Samut Sakhon and Songkhla, where she will meet with representatives of the Government and the judiciary, members of international and civil society organizations working on the fight against trafficking in persons and trafficked persons themselves.

At the end of her mission, Ms. Ezeilo will hold a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at 11:00 on 19 August 2011.
