Koe said he was on another campus of Rangoon University when he and fellow stuâ€" dents heard of the killing. But torture was not the only price students paid for fighting to have a democratic government replace the autocratic, oneâ€"partyâ€" rule of the government of Burma in that fateful September of 1988. Like Koe, many of the students lost their own homeland, perhaps forever. Now safely esconced with a family in Oakville, thanks to the sponsorâ€" ship of Central Baptist Church, the 25â€"yearâ€"old Koe was eager to enlighten Canadians about his counâ€" try and its troubles. Nee Koe swept his arms around him in a narrow arc to denote the small area of confinement in which prisoners could only stand, not sit or lie down. Strobe lights darted into their faces at regular intervals as the questions were shot at them. "Who are your friends? Where are your friends?" Kept in such a tiny space for up to six months, it was no wonder that some of the students went mad, he said. Torture and murder were commonplace in Burma By BARB JOY Oakville Beaver Staff Students pay heavily for Burmese democracy It seemed incongruous listening to the young Burmese man standing in a room at Central Baptist Church graphically illustrating how fellow students were tortured in Burma.

For one thing, both of them had military governments. Although Thailand was at first inclined to in the fighting. Instead, he taught mathematics "in a jungle missionâ€" ary school." But the malaria he had contracted worsened after two or three years and he sought treatment in a bordertown hospital in Maesot, Thailand. Following the advice of a friend, he didn‘t return to the junâ€" gle, but went instead to Bangkok where he applied for United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) status. Although he was interviewed and recognized as a political refugee, no safe place could immediately be found for him. It would be three more years before that happened. In the meantine, he could at least stay alive on the "survival funds" allotâ€" ted him by the U.N. because of this status. Although Koe took the required military training, he didn‘t take part By this time, the military knew who Koe was. He was a marked man. He and surviving students escaped from the ruins of the pagoâ€" da and fled to safe places near their homes. When other students warned them not to return to Rangoon, he and 25 others fled to the mountainâ€" ous border area close to Thailand where they joined a jungle guerrilla group made up of members of tribes that had been fighting the governâ€" ment in Burma for over 40 years, he said.

For more information, contact Michael Brennan, recreation superâ€" visor, at 338â€"4243 In advance of the event, festival organizers must write to the municiâ€" pality, as well as, to the Police, Fire and Health Departments, informing them of the date, time, location, expected attendance, and the physiâ€" cal boundaries of their request. Applicants to date have included Sloâ€"Pitch Tournaments, Community Festivals, as well as, Oakville‘s Waterfront Festival. If a tent or marquee is utilized, the applicant must also obtain a building permit from the Building Services Department. In an attempt to ensure the safety of festival patrons, as well as, the liability of festival organizers, the policy pertains to parkland owned and operated by the Town of Oakville. It has been almost a year now since the Town of Oakville adopted a policy on the operation of Beer Gardens at community festivals. Plan first if you want a beer garden Koe arrived in Canada in June of this year. While attending school in preparation for university or college, he is awaiting his first winter with some trepidation. Some day he may return to the warmer temperatures of his own country â€" if the political climate changes. When that happens, he will be reunited with his parents and two sisters who were forced to disown him. In fact, Koe said the Canadian embassy in Thailand can give no information to his relatives about him. In that country, it is as if he never existed. "Some of my friends are still there," he said. Koe estimated that 700 students are still in Thailand with another "400 or 500" in detention camps. grant temporary asylum to refugees, it was soon persuaded by Burma to declare all Burmese students illegal immigrants, said Koe. Some 350 Although he was unsuccessful in his quest, Koe said Broadbent‘s visit might have softened the hearts of authorities dealing with refugees fleeing Burma. At any rate, the Canadian embassy in Thailand "opened its door"‘. With the sponsorâ€" ship of Central Baptist Church and the embassy‘s approval, he could leave Thailand. Except he couldn‘t â€" until he had first been arrested. A strange twist in the political tangle made arrest mandatory before an illegal immigrant could become a citizen and obtain a passport. "I went to the Thai police and turned myself in," said Koe. "I went to a safe (detention) camp for four months. So now I was in Thailand legally." * students were roi home where they killed.

She had been placed under house arrest even before the 1992 election in Burm#, an election that voted in the demoâ€" cratic party she led that was not recâ€" ognized by the military governâ€" ment, Koe explained. Those remaining in Thailand were subject to arbitrary arrest, detention and/or deportation. Koe said his UNHCR status didn‘t proâ€" tect him from being hunted by the Thai police. He was still on the run, all the time hoping for a change in government at home. Finally, after realizing democracy and a homeâ€" coming had become increasingly distant goals, he turned his thoughts to other possible safer homelands.
