ဘရပ္ဆဲမွာ လွဳပ္ရွားၾကမယ္။

On 13th September 2008, I am a Burmese prisoner”

One year ago, thousands of monks and Burmese citizens found the courage to rise and demonstrate peacefully against the cruelty of the regime in power. The march took place despite the memories of the bloody repression of 1988 (more than 3000 deaths).

Ever since, the situation has deteriorated: 867 additional citizens have been imprisoned, thus raising the number of political prisoners to 2025 according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners-Burma (AAPPB).

What can we do ?

We must respond to the call made Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Laureate, democratically elected in 1990, by mounting the international pressure and by using our own freedom to serve that of the Burmese people.

On 13th September 2008, Actions Birmanie and Amnesty International will commemorate «the Saffron Revolution » by inviting you to march in the name of one of last autumn's prisoners, from the Square of the barricades to the Square of the liberties, in Brussels (300 m distance).
