To: H.E. Abhisit Vejjajiva, Prime Minister of Thailand
Subject: Calling for the Hatgyi Dam to be stopped immediately
Dear Sir, We are a coalition of organizations representing communities living along the Salween River in Burma and Thailand. We would like to take the opportunity of the public hearings at Mae Sam Laep and Sob Moei on the Thai-Burma border on February 8 and 9 to reiterate our strong opposition to the building of the Hatgyi Dam. The current renewed intensification of fighting in the area, the attendant human rights abuses and continued refugee flows make it clear that this project must be abandoned.
