Stand with the People of Burma
Target: Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United NationsSponsored by: Care2

Just hours after the departure of a U.N. envoy, Myanmar's junta continued a violent crackdown on its own people.
We need to act now to protect monks, activists and innocent civilians from further abuses. Reportedly, more than 10 people have been killed, and thousands of pro-democracy protesters have been detained. "It is an emergency," said Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, the U.N. human rights investigator for Myanmar.
Myanmar has an appalling human rights record. Thousands of political prisoners are detained in deteriorating prison conditions and the use of child soldiers, forced labor, and torture are common.
The recent violence has shown the world the extent of MyanmarÂ’s brutal crimes. Urge the United Nations to take urgent steps to get MyanmarÂ’s junta to stop the crackdown.
Sign this petition and stand with the people of Burma.

Stand firm. Don't let them provoke you to responding with violence. You are doing the right thing!

May you remember the Buddha's words on peace, nonviolence, and loving kindness, even as you protest for democracy. Know that your Dharma brothers and sisters from across the world stand with you.

We need to play a more affirmative role in supporting the non-violent stand that Myanmar has taken in its fight against their oppressive government. The UN needs to take immediate measures to ensure that the tragic events of 1988 do not repeat themselves. Please do the most you can to pressure your respective governments into taking an active role in insuring that the government of Myanmar does not engage in a violent clash against the peaceful protesters.

The people have a right to protest their government. This is a basic Human Right. All humanity must stand and protest when one person is held and tortured, one peaceful protestor is killed or beaten or arrested. No matter where this takes place.

We are the rays of light in the canyons of darkness and we are the compasses in the midst of the wildernesses and together we will surmount the waves of the oceans of struggles.
