Show Your Solidarity!Burma Resistance Day

Endorsing regime’s 2010 elections game plan would lead Burma to full scale catastrophe and Burmese people will have to pay for the prices very dearly.Military rule would be legitimized under the constitution which adopted unilaterally in which 25% of the parliamentary seats are for military personnel who will be appointed directly by commander in chief of the army.
Constitution cannot be amended without having more than 75% of the parliamentary votes and president must have the military background and got the authority of dissolving the parliament at any time whenever he thinks is necessary. The elections of 2010 will definitely not be free and fair even though accepting 2010 elections game plan is out of question.The Importance of 1990 Elections Results of Burma!
Military regime held the General Elections on 27 May 1990 due to the continuous domestic and international pressure. National League for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi won the landslide victory by 89.9% of the vote.
The generals refused to honour it and arrested Aung San Suu Kyi, student leaders and NLD members. By refusing to honour the results of the 1990 election, the military regime made it clear to the world that they do not put people’s will first. The results of these elections will remain valid until such time as the Members of Parliament elected in 1990 by the people have had a chance to get together and decide what the next step is going to be.
The world has to make certain that the outcome of these elections is honoured. If we fall for the trap of junta’s 2010 election plan, it means we (International Community) show the green light to the regime that we are with them and desert the people.

Extreme Rightism Among German Students (Trans)
24-03-2009 00:22
I am a teacher in a technical high school in the northern edge of region of Ruhr. Our school at the present has about 500 students, of which about 40% are immigrants. The recent study [exposing right wing tendencies in schools] captures relatively well what I have been noticing for years. The gulf between children of German background and immigrants is not shrinking; rather, it’s growing steadily, digging in deeper. More and more of those who once stood alongside each other now stand against one another. Racist ideas are spreading.Translation of Original Article

At the last climate camp it was difficult to track down video footage for the lawyers/arrestees; the hope that a central database would come together did not come together as well as we would have liked.Save Victoria Baths Campaign, Still need to be active

Presence of Malice: UK Activists v. Lee Hall
23-03-2009 19:34
Due to these sundry laws and numerous injunctions, aboveground activists found that they were told where they could protest, for how long, with how many people, and what they could and could not say. Home demonstrations were prohibited, and the state placed increasingly severe restrictions on activist use of Internet sites, as those arrested for the crime of MDA have received hefty jail sentences.Bite Back #14 Out Now
