ビルマ


新聞やテレビからはビルマ関係の報道が減ってきましたが、

ロンドンでは駐英中国大使館前で抗議集会が行なわれるそうです。
Burma Campaign UKのメーリングリストで回ってきたお知らせによれば、
会場は中国大使館前で、集会は午後12時から13時までとのこと。

Dear friend


Now that Burma is no longer in the newspapers every day,
we need to make sure the world does not forget what has
happened, and that pressure on the regime continues to
grow.


Every day more activists are being arrested, many will
face horrific torture.

Many Burma campaigns groups are small and need activists who
can get involved, or help them out financially. If there is no
Burma campaign in your country, we may be able to put you in
touch with other activists to help you set one up.

追記(10月24日)：
aoiume198さんの記事を拝見して気付いたのですが、
上で「アウン・サン・スー・チー氏の自宅軟禁が始まってから丸12年」と書いたのは、
より正確には、軍政による拘束・軟禁期間が通算で12年になったということです。
実際には、数度に渡り、短期間ながら軟禁状態が解かれたこともあります。
