Dear Friends of Burma:
Aug. 8, 2008 is the 20th Anniversary of Burmese Democratic Uprising. In order to commemorate this important occasion, the Canadian Friends of Burma is planning a series of events and demonstration on Aug.7 and 8, 2008.
Burmese activists and Burma supporters will join in a demonstration to be held in front of the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa on Aug.7 at noon. The Canadian Friends of Burma is working with Canada-Tibetan Committee and other organizations to coordinate this action. Please join with us at the Chinese Embassy on Aug. 7 at noon.
On Aug. 8, the Canadian Friends of Burma will hold both outdoor and indoor events in Ottawa. The first event will start at 5pm on Aug. 8 at the Human Rights Monument. We will have some live music and speeches, along with colourful banners, posters and flags (fighting peacocks, the symbol of Burmese democratic movement and Tibetan flags).
At 7pm, we will hold an official commemoration in the Ottawa City Council Chamber, with speeches, slideshow and video documentary on 8888 uprising. “Olympic Games: Burma in Chain” video presentation will be also screened.
The Canadian Friend of Burma is also in the process of producing a music album entitled “Burma Hands off” and will be available during the 20th Anniversary of this uprising.
The most exciting part of all would be the proclamation of “Burma Day” by Ottawa City on Aug. 8. We are working on it and hoping that the Ottawa City Mayor will proclaim it.
Therefore, I earnestly invite you to join in the following events:
1) Aug.7 demo at Chinese Embassy,
2) Aug. 8 at noon, outdoor event at Human Rights Monument, and
3) Aug.8 indoor event at the Ottawa City Hall.
Please don’t forget to confirm your attendance.
Free Burma!
