Freedom march for Aung San Suu Kyi, Downtown, Vancouver

About 100 people marched in unity from the Vancouver Art Gallery to Vancouver Public Library at 12:00 noon today, and read a media statement at the end of rally. The statement spoke in general about Burma's continued state of oppression - exacerbated by the so called non-intefering policy of neighbouring countries - and the need for consistent and effective pressure by the UN Security Council and the world in general. In order to begin a meaningful dialogue with the military junta, Aung San Suu Kyi must be free and be able to work with her opposition party.
