Myanmar land reform: Calls for new law to be scrapped

Karen state farmers speak to Al Jazeera about losing their land.

Rights groups are calling on Myanmar's government to scrap a new land reform law. These groups fear that the law could leave millions of people with nowhere to call home. The new law would require people in some regions to apply for permission to use the land they are working or living on. Natives who don't apply for permission risk their land being taken from them by the government, who have the right to take this land because of the new law. Activists call it a land grab that makes criminals out of innocent communities. This video captures the perspective of local state farmers who are affected by this new ruling.
