GENEVA (AP) - In a rare departure from its usual diplomatic restraint, the International Red Cross denounced Myanmar's military government Friday, saying it commits abuses against civilians and detainees that cause ``immense suffering.''
The regime makes thousands of detainees serve as porters for the military, exposing them to the danger of combat and other risks, the Red Cross said. It also alleged repeated abuses by the military against men, women and children living along the Thai-Myanmar border, including the large-scale destruction of food supplies.
