Right now there is a swelling movement of protests in Burma, but the protesters, who are Buddhist monks, are in great danger of imminent violence from the government. Soon as in very soon, like this week. Many have died by being killed by the government while protesting peacefully in past years. Please take a minute to visit this website to see what you can do to help put pressure on the regime in Burma. It is a little-known country, but the scale of the tyranny they're facing there is pretty staggering.
The most difficult thing is that the military government is supported by China, which is very powerful. Please sign this petition to the Chinese government asking them to stop supporting the government in Burma. http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/uscampaignforburma/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=730&t=HomePage.dwt.
Thanks!
