Updated October 19, 2009 20:35:11

In a petition to the Thai government, 51 civil society organisations have called for the withdrawal of Thai interests in two hydro electric power plants in Burma's Karen and Shan states. The Hat Gyi and Ta Sang dams are being built on Burma's Salween River, supported by Thai and Chinese government and private interests, and are forcing thousands from their homes.
