KNLA
The Karen people have been fighting the Burmese military dictatorship for their democratic rights for more than 50 years. They've seen their villages bombed, their rice fields mined, their young women raped and families forced to flee across the Thai border into refugee camps. Their only protection, the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), is vastly outnumbered and with meagre resources is no longer able to fight the Burmese Army head-to-head.
