Support the Burma Monks


The people and monks of Burma are in political crisis and in urgent need of international pressure.

Stand with the Burmese People (petition)
http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/tf.php?cl

"The monks, activists and their supporters are the true heroes
in the current stage of Burmese history. They have done their job,
and they want the international community to grab this opportunity
to help create a free and democratic Burma."
http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=8802

"People in Burma are determined to continue their struggle for
freedom and human rights with or without international support.
People are now committed to bring about systemic change in Burma
even if they have to sacrifice their precious lives.
Therefore, the UN-led international community must show its
support of the people openly and stand up alongside the people."
(Oct. 5 Article)

"Asean leaders know if the situation in Myanmar deteriorates ...
there will come a breaking point where much more brutal force will
be used to put their people down"
—Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew
