Today a rally in support of the ethnic people of Burma and all political prisoners is being held in front of the U.S. Consulate in Chiang Mai. The rally coincides with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s historic visit to Burma. Please support the call and send an email to Hillary Clinton now!
Despite the “flickers of progress” called by President Obama, the reality is that in many ways human rights abuses have escalated since President Thein Sein took office. The US and other nations must continue to demand an end to ethnic conflicts and the release of all political prisoners as one of the necessary preconditions to further increased engagement or any other rewards.
