Description: 27.09.2007 - Protest in Bangkok (Thailand), Seoul (South Korea) & Sydney (Australia) against Myanmar's military junta. Bangkok, Thailand - Sep 27 : Myanmar nationals living in Thailand along with Thai democracy campaigners staged a protest outside the Myanmar embassy here today demanding that the military regime use peaceful means to end the current unrest in that country.Around 100 demonstrators, carrying red banners condemning the military action against Buddhist monks in Yangon, burned Myanmar's top military ruler General Than Shwe in effigy. They left after placing a note at the embassy gate which said, they would submit a petition tomorrow to the UN Commission on Human Rights at the United Nations office in Bangkok.Demanding release of all political prisoners in Myanmar, including Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the protestors called on the international community to stop supporting the country's military rulers. Seoul, South Korea Sep 27: Civic groups gathered in front of Myanmar's embassy in Seoul Thursday and urged its military government to end the armed crackdown on peaceful demonstrations by monks and citizens. Sydney, Australia Sep 27 : About 150 people calling for democracy in Burma have marched through the streets of Sydney and have held a rally outside the office of the Prime Minister John Howard.The rally organised by the Australian Coalition for Democracy in Burma chanted 'free Burma' as they walked from Martin Place to Mr Howard's office.The group earlier heard from a number of speakers concerned at the military crackdown in Burma. The protesters want the Federal Government to take stronger action against the Burmese military regime, including imposing targeted sanctions and downgrading diplomatic relations between the two countries. One of the organisers, and past student activist during the 1988 uprising in Burma, Maung Maung Than, says he is concerned at the low level of attention the struggling nation receives."The Burmese crisis is very serious at the moment so there should be a lot stronger reaction."The group has given a letter addressed to the Prime Minister to security guards at Mr Howard's office, in which they outline a number of their concerns. |
