Demonstration for Daw Suu --

Dear Friends of Burma in the DC Area,

I wanted to send you a last minute reminder about today's demonstration for Burma.

Today, Friday, October 24th, will mark the day that Aung San Suu Kyi has spent 13 years under house arrest.

We, and many others around the world, are organizing demonstrations at Chinese embassies. Will you join us?

China is the number one supporter of the military regime in Burma, again and again preventing the UN from taking meaningful action to set Aung San Suu Kyi and the rest of Burma free.

Incidentally, Friday October 24th also marks the 60th anniversary of the UN charter, known as "UN day". Help us hold the UN to its promise by taking action for Burma.

The embassy is located at: 2300 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008. It is between the Dupont Circle and Woodley Park metro stops, off of Connecticut Avenue. The demonstration will begin at 5pm.

Questions? email: mike@uscampaignforburma.org or call: (202)234-8022.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Mike Haack
