Stand with the People of Burma

Target: Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations
Sponsored 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 Myanmars brutal crimes. Urge the United Nations to take urgent steps to get Myanmars junta to stop the crackdown.

Sign this petition and stand with the people of Burma.

ADD A MESSAGE OF HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE OF BURMA

I support the people of Burma.

After weeks of peaceful demonstrations, the military government has launched a violent crackdown, and I am deeply concerned about the well being of monks and civilians.

As stated by the UN Human Rights specialist on Myanmar, "this is an emergency" and we need to act now to stop these atrocities. The demonstrators in Myanmar have the right to peacefully express their opinion and the Government of Myanmar has a duty to fully respect this right.

I stand with the people of Burma and demand that the UN Security Council takes urgent steps to get the Myanmar military government to stop the violent crackdown on Buddhist monks and civilians and to address the peaceful political protests without violence.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Please act now before violence against innocent civilians escalates even further.

We signed the “Stand with the People of Burma” petition!

People of Burma, keep going strong and stay in there. Hopefully, help will be on the way! Although, this shouldn't be happening, it is, and hopefully we can help all of you in that situation.

Please don't abuse people it's not right. Hurting people doesn't give you anymore power. It just make you evil. Please don't abuse women they need rights the most. You can't make them seem like there worthless whores. Please give people rights. If the world was more like the U.S. in democracy then the world would be such a better place for everyone. Please find it in your heart to be kind. I'm only a young girl but I want this to end. Watch the movie Rambo and you'll see my point. All people have rights. It not fair if only American's have the rights we have because now we are over populated with foreigners. Please have a heart and give the people democracy. -- A young Girl

私はケチデス　自分のためだけのため　金　時間　使って来ました　今こうやってメール書いてるときでも電気　音楽　食べ物　アルコールが有ります　でも夜に成ったら　目を閉じて眠るだけ　空腹　痛み　そんな世界でしか生きられない人がいる事に涙します　涙の中か何か分からないモノが沸いて来ます　私なんか小さい力ですが　少しは手助けが出来ます　ガンバッテ　日は必ず昇ります　こんな」私が人のために何かしたいと思わせたんでうから

The people of Burma need help now! They have always been under the dictatorship and always been repressed. Elections are coming up soon and we need to give them help one way or the other. The UN should monitor that the Burmese people will have a free and fair election.

This reminds me of how Hitler treated his opposers; Than Shwe must be removed from his dictatorship and let Burma be governed by the National League for Democracy! This is the party the Burmese elected by a landslide a decade ago but never saw come into power.
