AP Features PHR Report on Burma

The Associated Press yesterday featured an article on PHR’s newly released report, “Life Under the Junta: Evidence of Crimes Against Humanity in Burma’s Chin State.” The article, which was picked up in TIME, Washington Post, NPR.org, and The Boston Globe, described how the report revealed widespread human rights violations including the fact that more than 92 percent of the people surveyed had been subjected to forced labor.

The U.S.-based group says its 64-page report — "Life Under the Junta: Evidence of Crimes Against Humanity in Burma's Chin State" — provides evidence of at least eight human rights violations that could be taken to the International Criminal Court," said the AP article.
