KWAT strongly condemns the impunity and this act of crime against humanity and lack of rule of law in Burma. We stand firmly and support the family's call for justice and we demand all Burmese military stations pull out from Kachin State. We also call upon the UN Security council look at its own Resolution 1820 by indicting Burma's generals at the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the systematic use of rape by the Burmese army.
