GLOBAL MARCH FOR BURMA
“Please use your liberty to promote ours”
Aung San Suu Kyi
JOIN TOMORROW’S MARCH IN LOCATIONS WORLDWIDE AND SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF BURMA
Possibly hundreds have died and many more have been detained for
participating in the peaceful protests held across Burma in the last month.
The severing of the country’s main internet connection late last week has
severely and unacceptably limited the flow of information about events
inside Burma to the international community. It is now unclear what is
happening to the unknown number of monks and civilians who have and
continue to be rounded up and taken away to anonymous locations. The UN
Security Council must act now and we can urge them to do so by joining in
tomorrow's global march in solidarity with the people of Burma. The
message we are getting from Rangoon is: “please help us”.
