Performance "Tomorrow" in honor of Victms of Northern Massacre

http://www.8888peopletoday.net/ On 12th Feb 1992, in Pajau on Burma-China Border, 15 people were accused of being SLORC spies and tortured and executed by ABSDF (Northern Burma). ABSDF is an armed student group set up in 1988 by university students who fled Burma after the clampdown on 18th Sept. Some alleged perpetrators and several survivors are still alive. This performance was staged by artist Soo Myint Thein (spelled phonetically) at the recent merit sharing ceremony in Rangoon, Burma. *
