Now that Burma is no longer in the newspapers every day, we need to make
sure the world does not forget what has happened, and that pressure on the
regime continues to grow. Every day more activists are being arrested, many will face torture.

Burma / China

[1] Parliament Square Picnic this Sunday
People in Common now meet on the last Sunday in every month. This Sunday 28th October we'll be meeting and sharing food on the newly opened Parliament Square green, from 1pm. For this month we've invited Zoya Phan of Burma Campaign UK to lead a discussion about the situation in Burma, and there'll also be a discussion about how we can best support the Burmese democracy movement, with reference in particular to the question of China. We hope activists interested in supporting Burma and also tackling China are able to come and/or show their support by email.
[2] SOCPA The Movie this Monday
Also, there will be a film showing of SOCPA the Movie at the Roxy Bar & Screen in Borough High Street the day after, Monday 29th at 8pm.
