The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a Christian multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement. Their main area of work is throughout Burma (also known as Myanmar) but concentrate primarily on the heavily forested border region, delivering emergency medical assistance to sick and injured internally displaced people (IDPs): a consequence of the long-running campaign of violence by the military junta, the State Peace and Development Council, against Burma's ethnic minorities.

| - The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a Christian multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement. Their main area of work is throughout Burma (also known as Myanmar) but concentrate primarily on the heavily forested border region, delivering emergency medical assistance to sick and injured internally displaced people (IDPs): a consequence of the long-running campaign of violence by the military junta, the State Peace and Development Council, against Burma's ethnic minorities. FBR trains teams of men and women in frontline medical treatment and reconnaissance techniques. In addition to delivering humanitarian relief, a secondary role of the teams is to obtain evidence of military violence and human rights abuse. This information is then published in the form of online reports and/or released to larger international human rights groups, inter-governmental organisations such as the UN, and news agencies. FBR is one of a number of grassroots organisations (see Mae Tao Clinic & Back Pack Health Worker Team) that have emerged in response to the growing health needs of Burma’s persecuted ethnic underclass. FBR is not supported by either the Thai or Burmese authorities and their activity inside the Burmese border is clandestine. (en)
