Hand in Glove : The Burma Army and the drug trade in Shan State

In a way, this report starts off from where our last report Show Business: Rangoon's War on Drugs in Shan State(2003) left off. It describes the unimaginable extent of corruption in Burma, and the live-off-the-land policy of Burmese military units that has forced local authorities to turn a blind eye to drug activities. It also exposes how cultivation of opium poppies has increased, and gives insight into the production and trade of methamphetamines, better known as yaba in Thailand and yama in Shan State.
