More than 100 Karenni people have fled to a refugee camp in Thailand's Mae Hong Son since November last year after being threatened by the Burmese military.
Many have been accused of having ties to Karenni armed resistance groups or political movements.
One woman said, on the condition of anonymity, the Burmese military had stopped allowing Karenni people to access their land or use torches during the night.
Oo Htan, former chief of the Kayan Tayar village told Mizzima, "The Burmese military accused me of working in the under-ground movement for the Karenni National Progressive Party, and then they arrested my wife and two children".
Oo Htan's wife is nine months pregnant and his two children taken by the authorities are aged eleven and three.
He fled with his four other children after the authorities stormed his home while they were out.
His six year-old daughter told Mizzima, "I saw the rice pot was on the stove with full of rice but I didn't see any curry. And the wall and the statue of Jesus Christ were destroyed, so I started to cry".
Burmese authorities have reportedly stopped allowing farmers to sleep at their farms during the night and are forcing villagers to ask for permission to work their own land.
Phray Meh said the authorities were hunting her as they suspected she was involved in the Karenni resistance movement.
"They searched for me, so I have to move to my husband's village with my one-month-old daughter" she said.
She said one woman from her village was tied and forced to sit in the hot sun for an hour after she was caught on her land without permission.
Mee Reh said the Burmese military continues to use forced labor in Karenni State. He said so many people were finding the situation in their villages unbearable that they were all fleeing to Thailand for sanctuary.
"They burn down my rice-store and I can't survive without having rice so I choose to come to the refugee camp," he said.
New arrivals to the Karenni camp in Mae Hong Son are forced to stay in a holding centre away from the camp until they are processed by officials. ..................................
