DESCRIPTION:In honor of UN Day, let's take to the streets and march in solidarity with 
 the people of Burma! In the spirit of defending\n"human rights and and 
 fundamental freedoms", we must continue highlighting the dire situation in 
 Burma!\n\nLet’s give democracy in Burma a voice by recreating the 
 peaceful protest they intended.\n\nPlease march with us on United Nations 
 Day to appeal to the UN to take swift and effective measures to stop the 
 killing and establish democracy and rule of law. \n\nIn its founding 
 charter, the United Nations declared human rights to be the fundamental 
 foundation for peace and security in the world. The U.N. then must act and 
 respect its purpose but most importantly promote and protect the human 
 rights of the people of Burma!\n\nAs an international community, we call on 
 governments, such as China, India, Singapore, and Russia, to end their 
 financial and political support of the military junta in Burma!\n\nPlease 
 sign our petition to call on the governments of China, India, Thailand, 
 Singapore, and Russia to end their support for the military junta!!! 
 http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/the-UN-is-failing-Burma\n\nWHY? Led by 
 Buddhist monks, hundreds of thousands of peaceful people are taking to the 
 streets to cry out for an end to the long-standing military dictatorship. 
 However, holding Buddhist sassana flags and reciting prayers of love on the 
 street is now a crime punishable by beating and death. Many monks have been 
 disrobed, beaten, humiliated, tortured, and killed, and there are reports 
 of a massacre in the jungle. The military junta is raiding monasteries and 
 private homes in the middle of the night and dragging away those they 
 suspect of involvement. Over 2,000 protesters have been arrested and the 
 Burmese population is living in fear.\n\nThe people of Burma need your 
 help. Despite this brutal military crackdown, the brave protests continue, 
 but both protesters and innocent onlookers are being beaten, arrested, 
 imprisoned, tortured and killed. \n\nContact: Nyunt Than
