Honorable Navanethem (Navi) Pillay,

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

Date : December 14, 2010

Dear Madam Commissioner,

We are the dissidents currently residing in the EU member states and struggling for freedom and
democracy in Burma. We have been urging the EU member states to endorse the UN Human Rights
rapporteur Mr. Quintana’s call for the Commission of Inquiry against the junta in Burma for its
violations of war crimes against the humanity.

The following information would be helpful for you to take a substantial action against the junta in
Burma. We have also sent the information to the UN member states and the concern organizations
for their consideration.

The ongoing wars between the junta and the Karen ethnic group have been causing the floods of
tens of thousands of refugees into Thailand everyday for decades. The attached pictures are the
gruesome remains of six Karen ceasefire troops who were captured by the Burmese army last week,
found close to the Thai border.

The discovery was made at 9am today close to Hpalu village in Karen state, once home to an
outpost belonging to the KNU/KNLA Peace Council ceasefire group which came under attack on
30 November.

“They were found in a bush at the end of a maize plantation,” said Dr Timothy Laklem, head of
foreign relations in the Peace Council. “They were not shot dead; they were brutally hacked to
death with machetes. Peace Council badges remain with them.”

Burmese army officials had reportedly told the group that the six had been detained and were under
interrogation. Suspicions that the men had been killed surfaced when the army failed to return them.
The details of the information are available at dvb@no, a Norway based internet media upon your
request as well.

The Karen ethnic group has been targeted to suppress by the junta for more than 5 decades already.
The atrocities and ruthless wars by junta have caused the countless deaths and more than half
million Karen refugees camping along Thai-Burma borders for quite some time. In the United
Nations' resolution of 1946:
"Genocide is a denial of the right of existence of entire human groups, as homicide is the denial of
the right to live of individual human beings; such denial of the right of existence shocks the
conscience of mankind, results in great losses to humanity in the form of cultural and other
contributions represented by these human groups, and is contrary to moral law and to the spirit and
aims of the United Nations.”

In this case, the junta’s treatment to its own Karen ethnic has gone too far beyond the UN’s term of
“genocide” if we might want to consider it in a sense.

We will keep looking for the facts and information regarding the progress of the political situations
in Burma for your perusal and consideration and we are delighted to do so.

Once again, we are greatly appreciated your effort to bring justice in this matter.

Sincerely yours,
