Nobel Peace Prize: Aung San Suu Kyi

British Colonialism Dept: But in the past four years, one of Langley City's modest neighbourhoods has become the new home to Sar Pwo Kor and his family, as well as more than 250 refugees from Myanmar, also known as Burma, whose 50 million long-suffering residents are predominantly Buddhist, according to Vancouver Sun. Before coming to Langley City more than three years ago, Kor, 29, spent 15 years in refugee camps of up to 100,000 people, mostly Karen, on the Thailand side of the eastern Burma border, protected by Thai troops and the strip malls, big-box outlets and mega-churches of Langley City are 12,000 kilometres from steamy Myanmar, a brutal South Asian military dictatorship that is infamous for having placed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest. Kor and his family belong to a persecuted Burmese ethnic and religious minority group called Karen, most of whose members have been Baptist, like Kor, or evangelical Christian since the days of British colonialism. As reported in the news.
