FPSS Hmong Watch
Welcome to the FPSS campaign pages that focus on a broad range of issues in support of the Hmong people [ethnic Laotians] around the world.

Here you will find a comprehensive collection of information from our various International associates dedicated to providing education, information, advocacy and support to Hmong related issues.

We aim to highlight the past and present struggles of the Hmong people and to seek ways to enhance their lives, so that they may live in peace and prosperity with the same freedom, equality, and justice that is their right as members of the International Community.

Hmong - Apocalypse Now
TRIBESMAN (Translation): Today the Lao government is trying to use starvation as a weapon to kill us. They are also using chemicals to kill us.

This extraordinary video testimony was shot by Hmong tribespeople in the remote mountains of northern Laos. Smuggled out at great risk, it is the first time it's been seen on television anywhere. It reveals the desperate plight of the Hmong who are hiding in jungle sanctuaries, totally cut off from the outside world. For over 30 years they have been trying to survive as hunter gatherers while the Lao Government hunt them like wild game.

TRIBESMAN (Translation): They have been hunting us and killing us for 30 years, today there are 20,000 of us in the jungle. The Hmong had fought on the American side in their war against the communists in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. When the Americans withdrew in 1973 they left their allies, the Hmong, behind. But the people they were fighting against, the communist Pathet Lao, became the Government in Laos and have relentlessly pursued the Hmong ever since. Driven by starvation and constant attacks from the Lao military, tribal leaders have now taken a momentous decision. They are sending out an advance party of women and children to surrender and try to save their lives.

    Dear Honorable Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Somsavath Lengsavat;

    On behalf of the free world, the Fact Finding Commission would like to take a moment of your time to hear our response concerning the situation in Laos. Our mission is to bring THE TRUTH inside Laos to the outside world. That is exactly what we have been doing. On an interview broadcast through the Voices of America on October 14, 2005 by VOA correspondent, Songrit PhonNgern, you challenged the correspondent to tell you who were the ones who wrote the reports regarding the ongoing genocide inside Laos and witnessed the truth inside Laos. Unfortunately, your question was not addressed to the right person. Therefore, today FFC is going to answer that question for you.
