Burma's junta denies moving cyclone survivors from shelters
Updated
Burma's junta is denying forcing survivors of Cyclone Nargis out of emergency shelters and back to their devastated villages, five weeks after the storm left 133,000 dead or missing.
The government media says the claims are totally groundless because storm victims had been given relief supplies so they can voluntarily return home.
Amnesty International claims thousands of people have been forced from official shelters and given just six US dollars and two small portions of rice to return to their ruined villages.
It says other storm victims have been forced out of schools so that classes can resume.
But the junta's official newspaper says the people are returning to their homes voluntarily and only if they have enough food, water and shelter to survive.
