Freedom in Burma

I am sure that you have all seen the events in Burma over the past couple of weeks. Although it is impossible for us to do something about what's happening on the ground, it would be a great idea if we could all contact the companies in our countries that are helping to bolster the military regime and ask them to cease trading there.

By cutting off trade links, we can help to put pressure on both the regime and China, the main supporter of the current regime to change.

If you go to the Burma Campaign website, there is a list of 'dirty' companies with full contact details (address, telephone and fax number, email address and often a contact name) that you can write to or email asking the company politely to stop bolstering the military regime in Burma. The link to the list is here: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/dirty_list/dirty_list_details.html

and I have added a permanent link to the home page of their website in my links list.
