Free Burma!

Free Burma!
International Bloggers' Day for Burma on the 4th of October

International bloggers are preparing an action to support the peaceful revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and show our sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime without weapons. These Bloggers are planning to refrain from posting to their blogs on October 4 and just put up one Banner then, underlined with the words „Free Burma!“.

An Urgent Appeal From Rangoon - Burma
Dear Friend ³

We are living in hellŠ. Please help us.² Just half an hour ago, despite the regime¹s attempts to cut off communication, we received a message from Rangoon.
They want the world toknow what is going on in Burma, and appealed for more internationalpressure. ³Everyone is so afraid.
People are scared to go out into the streets, most shops are shut.
The world must know what is going on, we need international pressure.
If the pressure continues the regime can¹t survive.
Maybe a few months, but it can¹t survive if the pressure continues.²

The Burma Campaign UK is here to deliver that support,
to pressure the international community to take action against the regime in Burma.
In the past week we received more than 600 calls a day from journalists,
and wehave made sure that news from Burma has reached
the television programmes and newspapers you have been reading.

We are pressuring governments to impose targeted economic sanctions,
and push for a global arms embargoag ainst the regime.
And we are having an impact.
Yesterday British PrimeMinister Gordon Brown
personally called us and pledged to push for strong economic sanctions
by the European Union.
But we are a small organisation, desperately short of funds,
and we are struggling deliver the support that the people of Burma are asking us for.

There will be a newcampaign action on our website every day.
