On 11, July, 2009, interested photographer Mr. SergioGrande from Italy visited one of Chin refugee junglecamp in Kepong. On the same day, before he visitedto the camp in Kepong he visited Burmese refugeeresidential in Jalan Imbi also. Mr. Sergio had been inMyanmar a few years ago and he is so close withBurmese people and very interest to work withBurmese refugee a round the world.
When VOCRasked what does the main purpose for the trip, hesaid many of Italian do not know what is happeninginside and outside of Burma. They watched ontelevision and they saw how Burmese people aresuffering and persecuted by their own government(SPDC) but they do not recognized their affliction.Predominantly, on September 2007 demonstrationthe government was killed even the monks and manyof demonstrators were arrested and detained innotorious Insein prison and they sentenced for manyyears imprisonment. I will put all photos I have takenfrom Burmese refugees in Malaysia on my magazineand I am going to publicize in Italy to give awarenessof all Italian about Burmese refugees in Malaysia.Hopefully, my witness will be helpful for Europeanpeople to aware what really happening inside Burmaand what Burmese minorities are suffering andstruggling for their survival.
