  • Tong Fang, lays on the shallow grave of his wife mourning her loss, near Vang Vieng, Laos, July 1, 2006.  When we reached the site of the massacre Tong Fang fell onto the grave wrapping himself in her clothing riddled with bullet holes.  Tong was totally inconsolable.  He was an armed escort to the women and children hunting for food on April 6th, and was wounded, but his young wife was cut down by bullets and died in his arms.  His message to the Lao Government is, "Our people are innocent civilians.  We had not commited any crimes.  Why did you kill our unarmed women and children?"..**EXCLUSIVE, no tabloids without permission**.The Hmong people pictured have hidden in remote mountains of Laos for more than 30 years, afraid to come out.  At least 12,000 are said to exist, with little food, scavenging in the jungle. Most have not seen the modern world.  Since 1975, under the communists, thousands of reports evidence the Hmong have suffered frequent persecution, torture, mass executions, imprisonment, and possible chemical weapons attacks.  Reports of these atrocities continue to this day.  The Lao Government generally denies the jungle people exist or that any of this is happening.  The Hmong group leader, Blia Shoua Her, says they are not part of the Hmong resistance and want peace.  He claims they are just civilians defending their families, hoping to surrender to the UN.  The Lao Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says this is a fabrication, an investigation has been completed, and there was no attack.  The Hmong group says no officials have interviewed witnesses or visited the crime scene, a point the Lao Spokesman did not deny.  ..
