Updated news: August Sky in Burma─20 years after the 8888 uprising


Exactly 20 years ago this month, thousands of Burma’s suffering people peacefully gathered in the streets expressing their desire for democracy and respect for human rights. This peaceful and rightful demand was met with brutal force by the military government. Today, the issues for which the people in Burma marched in 1988 have still not been attained. Violent repression of peaceful protests, suppression of freedom of expression, arbitrary detention of dissident... The path to these goals resides in the respect for the dignity and equality of each human being that is expressed through nurturing and upholding the human rights of every man, woman and child in Burma.
