Refugees from Myanmar fear their lives will be at risk if the Thai government follows through on its intention to close down their camps and send them back over the border. Some 140,000 refugees live in the border camps after fleeing the conflict between Myanmar's armed forces and insurgency groups. Rights groups have documented cases of rape, torture and execution by the military and say civilians are deliberately targeted and driven from their homes. A voiced AFPTV report.
