ေသြးသစ္ေလာင္း မဲ့ ၈၈၈၈ ႏွစ္ ၂၀..( ကေနဒါ အင္အားစု)

20th Anniversary of Burmese Democracy Movement


August 8, 2008 is the 20th Anniversary of Burmese democracy movement. Millions of people across the country rose up against the totalitarian regime, calling for the restoration of democracy and human rights in Burma.

The nation-wide movement, known as “8888 uprising”, was brutally cracked down by the military junta, killing more than 3,000 people. To commemorate this historic occasion, the Canadian Friends of Burma is planning to do numerous activities including the followings on August 8, 2008:

· Proclamation of “Burma Day” in the City of Ottawa
· Hoisting the symbol of Burmese democratic flag, “fighting peacock”
· Screening film and documentaries e.g. “Beyond Rangoon,” and “Inside Burma, Land of Fear”
· Photo Exhibitions on “8.8.88 uprising” in Burma
· Production of CD album (with song tracks contributed by Canadian musicians)
· Demonstration in front of Burmese and Chinese Embassy
