September 18th: GLOBAL DAY OF PROTEST AGAINST CHINA

From the US Campaign for Buma:


We are urging human rights supporters and Burmese throughout the world to organize demonstrations at China's embassies and consulates on Tuesday, September 18th, 2007, the anniversary of the take-over of Burma's military regime in 1988.



Since China has paralyzed the United Nations Security Council from doing its job on Burma, the Council has failed to act, just as it waited until too late in Rwanda and Darfur. Therefore, for the first time in history we are launching a new, concerted campaign to call on China to modify its position on Burma.
