Writing with the hand and erasing with the foot --

Monk with flag, Burma, Sept. 2007. Photo by Citizen Journalist. I don't know if this is U Gambira or not. It has already been widely circulated in Cyberspace.

The Burmese junta arrested two prominant dissidents, the monks' leader U Gambira and labor activist Su Su Nway and others on the 3rd day of UN Special Human Rights Rapporteur Pinheiro's 5 day visit.


How's that for sincerity?


Pinheiro was able to see Su Su Nway in Insein Prison, but U Gambira has been charged with treason, for which the sentence is death or life imprisonment.


They need to be released.


Please write to Burmese embassies wherever you are.
