Wednesday October 24, 2007; 4:00 – 8:00 pm
Why Oct 24?
United Nations Day; Global Day of
Action - Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Day (organized by the 400,000+ member FaceBook
'Support the Monks' protest in Burma' group); and one month anniversary of
Saffron Revolution (The general protest started on Sept 24 with 100000+ taking
to the streets as called for by the All Burma Monk's Alliance.)
4:00 – 5:00 Rally & meditation at Chinese
Consulate, 1450 Laguna (@ Geary), San Francisco
5:00 – 5:40 Peace March to United Nations Plaza, Market St between 7th & 8th
6:00 - 8:00 Multi-faith Prayer Service at United Nations Plaza
Led by Buddhist monks, hundreds of thousands of peaceful people are taking to
the streets to cry out for an end to the long-standing military dictatorship.
However, holding Buddhist sassana flags and reciting prayers of love on the
street is now a crime punishable by beating and death. Many monks have been
disrobed, beaten, humiliated, tortured, and killed, and there are reports of a
massacre in the jungle. The military junta is raiding monasteries and private
homes in the middle of the night and dragging away those they suspect of
involvement. Over 2,000 protesters have been arrested and the Burmese population
is living in fear.
The people of Burma need your help. Despite this brutal military crackdown, the
brave protests continue, but both protestors and innocent onlookers are being
beaten, arrested, imprisoned, tortured and killed. Please march with us on
United Nations Day to appeal to the UN to take swift and effective measures to
stop the killing and establish democracy and rule of law. Let’s give democracy
in Burma a voice by recreating the peaceful protest they intended.
