PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!!!

Come join Chicago's FIRST EVER Free Burma demonstration in an International Day of Free Burma Action!

Students and activists who support the popular movement for human rights and democracy in Burma will demonstrate at:

205 N. Michigan Avenue (in front of the French Consulate)
11-12:30 PM
Tuesday May 17

The French government needs to be told to put pressure on the French oil company, Total, which has built a natural gas pipeline through Burma (Myanmar) that has been the site of severe human rights abuses such as forced labor, forced
relocation, extrajudicial executions, torture, rape, and arbitrary arrest. This is the same pipeline that was the focus of recent controversy involving the California oil
company, UNOCAL, who recently settled the lawsuit against them claiming liability for human rights abuses for $10 million.

Please come and show your solidarity with the millions of people in Burma who suffer under the ruling military dictatorship, the State Peace and Development Council.
