FREE BURMA
By Beni Bevly
Why does Burma need to be freed? Below is the simple explanation from Burma-Myanmar Genocide 2007 site:
What is GENOCIDE? [pronunced: jen-uh-sahyd] dictionary.com defines “The deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group”.
Genocide in Burma (Myanmar) A genocide has currently been going on in Burma for over 40 years under military government. People get arrested, tortured, lost jobs, lost licenses, abused, killed, and unfairly treated for believing in democracy. Justice is a dream in Burma.
What are “International War Crime Tribunals”? International war crimes tribunals are courts of law established to try individuals accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Who should be put on trial at International War Crime Tribunals? Criminals who committed crimes that include use of outlawed weapons; intentionally bombing schools, hospitals, mosques and churches; killing after a cease-fire; and starvation of citizens.
So now we know the reason why Burma needs to be freed: “A genocide has currently been going on in Burma for over 40 years under military government.”
