Demonstration outside Embassy of 'Myanmar' today
Demonstrations outside the embassy of Myanmar today in Bangkok. I just passed the embassy, sathorn road, on my way to the airport (flying to samui today and then koh tao to teach the next idc). Join forces - support the burmese people today!
-------------------------------------------------------------
We need to raise an urgent outcry to send a strong message of solidarity to the Burmese people, and to persuade UN Security Council members to pressure the generals and stop the crackdown
Burma is ruled by one of the worst military dictatorships in the world. This week Buddhist monks and nuns began marching and chanting prayers to call for democracy. The protests spread and hundreds of thousands of Burmese people joined in -- they've been brutally attacked by the military regime, but still the protests are spreading.
I just signed a petition calling on Burma's powerful ally China and the UN security council to step in and pressure Burma's rulers to stop the killing. The petition has exploded to over 200,000 signatures in a few days and is being advertised in newspapers around the world, delivered to the UN secretary general, and broadcast to the Burmese people by radio. We're trying to get to 1 million signatures this week, please sign below and tell everyone!
