Conservative Buddhists donate to Kachin IDPs
Hard-line nationalist Buddhist monk U Wirathu has revealed that his Committee for the Protection of Race and Religion, known as Ma Ba Tha, is providing aid to displaced Christians in war-ravaged Kachin State.
Ma Ba Tha said it had donated K6 million for internally displaced persons in Kachin State on 27 November. The money will go to support about 1000 IDPs, mostly Christians, in three camps in Myitkyina and Waingmaw townships.
