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!“.

Whats happening is tragic and it's especially heartbreaking to me (again not surprising) that the Christian church isn't standing up against these human rights violations. I get most of my news from the BBC, NPR, and the Economist where the coverage has been good as far as I know. Thank you for linking all the interesting related articles. -Justin I’d like to say I’m surprised that a desire to exploit Burma’s resources is the driving force of corruption here, but I’m not really.
