  • Lia Pao Yang, near Vang Vieng, Laos, June 27, 2006.  His message to the world,  "I am Lia Pao Yang.  I am twenty years of age this year.  I want to assure you that I have not shot at anybody nor had I committed any crime, or stolen anything, but the cruel communist Lao had targeted to kill me.  On the 23rd of September, 2001 the communist Lao set a landmine on my farm of cassava so I stepped on it and lost my leg.  Along with that, in 2002 when my family relocated to Black Mountain (Pha Lai), the communist troops fired mortar at my family killing my wife and son.  We are innocent civilians.  We have not done anything wrong to the communist but have been targeted by them.  Please come to rescue us."..**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.  ..
