Today is the anniversary of the 18th September 1988 clampdown by the Burmese military government of the pro-democracy demonstrations 19 years ago.

An estimated 3000 people died a year before Tienanmen.

Hundreds more were arrested and continue to be arrested.

As Aung San Suu Kyi said: Use your freedom to promote ours.
