The past week has seen China force at least 1000 refugees back into the combat zone in northern Burma, with alleged plans to deport a further 4000 displaced people, warned Human Rights Watch.
Human rights watch urged the Chinese government to provide temporary protection for the refugees instead of repatriating them to Burma.
It noted that the refugees have been living in make shift camps with no protection or aid provided to them. Although China has provided sanctuary to 7000-1000 refugees, the United Nations and humanitarian groups have not been allowed to visit the refugees.
