A/HRC/42/CRP.5 adequate access to healthcare.1547 Villagers described how conditions in the jungle led to various illnesses, including in particular for children, and how persons with long-term medical needs were unable to access their medication. IDP children are unable to attend school.1548 Most Karen villagers rely on farming for their subsistence needs and their displacement restricted their access to farm lands, which in turn limited their income generating activities, leading to food security issues. 1549 651. Karen villagers who reside in affected areas also faced severe problems because of the Tatmadaw’s road construction and its increased militarized presence in the area. Of particular note, is the direct impact on lands and livelihoods as a result of the road-building and other military activities.1550 652. Road construction and increased military activities has caused direct damage to villagers’ farmlands.1551 One villager stated: “The road has destroyed the farmlands, including the stream and the waterway so villagers cannot get enough water anymore.”1552 Another villager who was displaced as a result of clashes between the KNLA and the Tatmadaw in March 2018 over the road building, returned to his village some months later. He described to the Mission how upon his return the road construction had destroyed his land’s natural irrigation systems, which led to the flooding of a significant percentage of his farmlands, making them completely unusable.1553 Others villagers reported how their lands were confiscated and used as a shooting range for Tatmadaw troops, destroying the fields.1554 653. In other locations, the Tatmadaw appropriated the lands of Karen villagers that are situated along road’s path without compensation.1555 One villager noted how Tatmadaw actively shot towards the village located along the road in order to displace the villagers, and once the villagers fled confiscated the farmland using bulldozers to raze it. 1556 654. The increase in military presence resulting from the road building and consolidation of bases also contributed to an increased fear amongst Karen villagers.1557 This fear is attributable to the fighting it has triggered between the Tatmadaw and the KNLA, as well as the increased presence of Tatmadaw soldiers in the region, and is heightened by the Tatmdaw’s legacy of committing violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law against the Karen. Many Karen villagers are now too fearful to tend to their farmlands, which is affecting their harvest for this year and the upcoming season.1558 As one villager commented: “Some of our farmlands are close to where the Tatmadaw are located, we dare not go to those areas now.”1559 D. Killings by the Tatmadaw 655. The Mission documented two incidents of killings by the Tatmadaw, both of which required further investigation. On 5 April 2018 Tatmadaw soldiers shot and killed 42 yearold Saw O Moo in the Ler Mu Plaw area of northwest Luthaw. Saw O Moo was a respected Karen leader and human rights defender.1560 At the time of his death he was travelling home from a community meeting to support humanitarian relief for Karen communities displaced 1547 1548 1549 1550 1551 1552 1553 1554 1555 1556 1557 1558 1559 1560 172 LI-190, LI-196, LI-197,LI-199, LI-200 LI-199 LI-200 LI-190, LI-190, LI-196, LI-199, LI-194, LI-193 LI-190 LI-196 LI-193, LI-194.
