Burma Demo August 8th 12.30pm
Amnesty International Scotland
Friday 8 August, 12.30-1.00pm
Members of Scotland's Burmese community, supported by Amnesty International Scotland, will stage a peaceful demonstration on Friday 8 August from 12.30-1.00pm at the City Chambers in Edinburgh's High Street to make the 20th anniversary of the uprising in Burma.
Amnesty International's demonstration comes as the organisation is supporting the staging of a hard-hitting new play on Burma at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival - 'The Burma Play: a comedy of terror'. The acclaimed work, performed by the Northern International Theatre group, is being staged at St John's Church in the city during 4-10 August.
Cast members from The Burma Play will be forming part of the 8 August demonstration and Amnesty International is encouraging Festival-goers to take part in a piece of 'real-life theatre' by joining in with the highly colourful demonstration.
The demo will involve a huge 30-metre-long saffron ribbon being held aloft, symbolising solidarity with Burmese monks and others who have protested for human rights in Burma.
There will be a special open-air performance of The Burma Play immediately after the 12.30pm protest. This is free but tickets must be reserved at scotland@amnesty.org.uk,

Global Justice Center- B8 GJB Locations

www.globaljusticeforburma.org

The Global Justice Center, alldaybuffet.org, Eli Klein Fine Art, Serene Communications, and the International Burmese Monks Organization have joined to create Global Justice for Burma. Coinciding with the opening of the Beijing Olympics on August 8, 2008, this group will launch an international campaign to bring Burma’s General Than Shwe and the military regime in Burma (officially known as the State Peace and Development Council or SPDC) to justice by referring them to the International Criminal Court. This larger campaign will kick off with a series of coinciding “B8 Events” held in art galleries in major cities across the world featuring contemporary Chinese artists. These events will bring together members of the Burmese community, global human rights organizations, and other activist and creative communities.
