<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The Commission may be aware of the case of the Karen people, who are indigenous to areas of Burma. Since 1962 when it took power, the Burmese military junta has waged a systematic and consistent campaign of harassment against Karen settlements. Reportedly, methods used by government militias include looting, the destruction of property, forced labour for domestic construction projects, and abduction for the purposes of forced military conscription. Worryingly, this often extends to minors. There is also a conspicuous lack of opportunity for political participation for the Karen. Can the Commission comment on what measures it is taking to improve the situation of the Karen inside Burma?"
