Dear Friends,
I'm sure all of you will be aware of what's happening at the moment in Burma. You might also be aware that Sheffield has the most Karen (ethnic minority from
Burma) refugees of any town in the UK.
The Karen community have organised a solidarity demo this Monday 1st October, meeting at 4:30 outside the town Hall / Peace Gardens.
These are incredibly exciting times, the closest the grassroots Burmese have come to overthrowing the military junta in 20 years. Every day they're risking their lives to challenge a brutal regime. It would be nice to let them know that people in other countries support what they're doing.
If any of you can come, please do so.
Hope to see you there,
Hugh.
