[news] Tsunami devastates migrant workers and villagers from Burma

[Resist!ca]

"More than 3000 migrant workers from Burma have been killed in the South of Thailand following the tsunami. They have been denied access to government aid and have been unable to claim and bury their dead. The Thai government has also used the tsunami as an excuse to crackdown and deport people back to Burma. In Arakan State, which is in the west of Burma, 96 people were killed and 788 displaced in 17 villages, but there has been no government assistance to those affected."
