7:13p	An Urgent Appeal From Rangoon - Burma (Burma Campaign email)  Dear Friend "We are living in hell. Please help us." Just half an hour ago, despite the regime¹s attempts to cut off communication, we received a message from Rangoon. They want the world to know what is going on in Burma, and appealed for more international pressure. "Everyone is so afraid. People are scared to go out into the streets, most shops are shut. The world must know what is going on, we need international pressure. If the pressure continues the regime can¹t survive. Maybe a few months, but it can¹t survive if the pressure continues.² The Burma Campaign UK is here to deliver that support, to pressure the international community to take action against the regime in Burma. In the past week we received more than 600 calls a day from journalists, and we have made sure that news from Burma has reached the television programmes and newspapers you have been reading. We are pressuring governments to impose targeted economic sanctions, and push for a global arms embargo against the regime. And we are having an impact. Yesterday British Prime Minister Gordon Brown personally called us and pledged to push for strong economic sanctions by the European Union. But we are a small organisation, desperately short of funds, and we are struggling deliver the support that the people of Burma are asking us for. We need your help. Please make a donation on our website now. Visit: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/ Please take action: Visit our website at: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/ There will be a new campaign action on our website every day. Two days ago another person in Rangoon told us "All night long I could hear people screaming and crying out for help. Soldiers were beating everyone they found. We are living in hell. Please help us." Please donate as much as you can. We can help them ­ with your support. http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/ Mark Farmaner Burma Campaign UK PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO FRIENDS WHO MIGHT BE WILLING TO HELP US. (Comment on this)
7:31p	Democracy in Burma  myspace bulletin from Axis Of Justice   29 Sep 2007 16:05 Democracy in Burma "May we be free of torture, may there be peace in hearts and minds as our kindness spreads around the world." This is the chant of the pro-democracy demonstrators in Burma, as they face off against their repressive military government. The world watches these brave protesters with hope, while fearing that the military will try to break the movement with a bloody crackdown.
