    Analysis of KHRG's field information gathered between January 2011 and November 2012 in seven geographic research areas in eastern Myanmar indicates that natural resource extraction and development projects undertaken or facilitated by civil and military State authorities, armed ethnic groups and private investors resulted in land confiscation and forced displacement, and were implemented without consulting, compensating or notifying project-affected communities.

    Conclusion:
    "The displacement in Thilawa took place amid a broader
    climate of state-sponsored abuse in Burma, where
    people have no recourse to challenge illegal government
    action. Specifically, the displacement process in Thilawa
    violated residents’ human rights, negatively affected
    their ability to provide for themselves, and resulted in
    deteriorating food security and limited ability to access
    health care. The TSEZMC will relocate 846 more

    response, the Myanmar Army, rather than targeting ARSA, launched an attack on the Rohingya population
    in northern Rakhine State as a whole. Often working with Border Guard Police (BGP) and local vigilantes, the
    military has carried out a campaign of violence that has been systematic, organized, and ruthless.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
    "In September 2002 the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC), formerly the
    Burmese Border Consortium, compiled a report “Internally Displaced People and
    Relocation Sites in Eastern Burma”. The report was written because although the
    Royal Thai Government was reluctant to accept more refugees and believed repatriation
    should occur as soon as conditions were judged suitable, new refugees were still
    arriving in Thailand. Since most of the new arrivals reported that they had formerly
