Democracy village burnt down by Thai Army 9th Infantry Division

Democracy village was built by Burmese refugee from Nat Ein Daung area after the area was taken by Burmese army in December, 1992. Troops from Thai army 9th Infantry Division burnt the village down on April 7, 1993. It is unofficial Thai military's policy not to allow permanenet Burmese refugee settlements on Thai soil. This will keep refugees on the run. They also want to clear the area from refugees in order to build the Unocal sponsored gas pipeline which passed through the area.
