Burma.

Recent news from Burma confirms the military junta is reacting brutally to massive protests for democracy and freedom, We salute the courage of the Burmese opposition in facing down repression. The world needs to react seriously to this crisis, fine spoken words at the UN Security Council is one thing but what is required is the isolation of the military junta, all normal commercial operations should be halted, business cannot go on as usual, sanctions must be applied and every effort should be made to bring the military down.

Gordon Brown has rightly recognised brutal dictatorships as in Burma and Zimbabwe should be challenged and the opposition to repression be supported.

Zimbabwean opposition leaders  should learn lessons from the courageous leadership of the opposition in Burma.

Burma the struggle for freedom…

This morning comes news of the military regime now unleashing the army against the Bhuddist monks and their supporters from the people. The military regime must be condemned and isolated, sanctions and ending business and tourist links must be imposed. The military dictators must be overthrown and democracy restored in Burma. We salute the courage of those in Burma fighting for democracy and freedom.

We hope that the weak leadership of the Zimbabwe opposition learn something about how to lead the people and oppose a repressive regime. Mugabe and Zanu PF you are next.
