Millions are left homeless and at risk of disease.

More than 20% of the Chin population, many of whom are Christian, face severe food shortages.

Over 1 million people are displaced from their homes.

This often occurs from refugee camps on the Burma borders.

For many Karen Christians, refugee camps enable them to worship together openly.

Ten countries in favour of Commission of Inquiry

Momentum is growing behind our campaign to urge the UN to establish a Commission of Inquiry to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by the regime.

This week France, the Netherlands and New Zealand announced their support, and earlier this month Canada and Hungary added theirs. In August, the United States joined the UK, Australia, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, in supporting the UN Special Rapporteur’s recommendation for a UN investigation into the regime’s crimes.

The support of these countries, is a major breakthrough and a positive step towards justice for the people of Burma. As we approach the elections, the growing momentum behind the campaign to end impunity in Burma is imperative in order to send a clear message to the Generals that they will be held to account for their actions.

Call to prayer for Burma elections

In the coming weeks leading up to the regime’s sham elections on 7 November, please pray for God’s hand to be on Burma, working in the leaders and protecting His people. Pray for the UN Commission of Inquiry, that the right people are brought to justice and that true democracy is implemented.

“The quest for democracy is the struggle of a people to live whole, meaningful lives as free and equal members of the world community.” Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, democratically-elected leader of Burma.
