City of Berkeley - 2010 Burma Day - Annual Burma Flags Raising
Honoring the people of Burma and marking the 22nd Anniversary
of 8888
The city of Berkeley and San
Francisco declared August 8 as Annual Burma Day in 2008 to honor the people of
Burma in their struggle for democracy and freedom. That is the day -- famously
known as 8888 -- the people of Burma took to the street in 1988 to demand
democracy and freedom, but met with brutal crack down by the military regime. In
marking the Burma Day, the City of Berkeley annually raises Burma flags at the
City Hall. This year again the city will be raising the
Burma flags on the August 6 morning to mark the Burma Day on the 22nd
anniversary of 8888.
Friday, August 6th, 2010
Time: 7:30 am - 9 am (Flags to be raised at
8:08 am)
Place: Civic Center Park across Old Berkeley City Hall
( At the Corner of Allston Way & Martin Luther King Jr. Way )

Election Results, and therefore, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and NLD as

Join Burma Democracy Day Rally in support of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
and NLD
Recognize the 1990 Elections Results, Reject the Burma
Military’s Sham Election

Aung San Suu Kyi and those that have opposed the military regime from
participating in elections that will be set for later this year, including
ethnic leaders, student leaders, human rights activists, and other democracy
leaders.
In response, the City of San
Francisco, with unanimous consent, declares May 27 as Burma Democracy Day,
Recognizes Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as the Rightful Leader in Honor of the
20th Anniversary of 1990 elections and calls US to denounce the Burma

Each
year, the people from Burma around the world commemorate March 13 as the
Burma Human Rights Day to make the death of the engineering student Ko
Phone Maw as he was murdered by the Burma's military in his school
campus. The killing set off the historic 1988 nation-wide pro-democracy
uprising in Burma after 26 years of oppression. However, the regime
brutally cracked down the peaceful protests and continued hold on to
power for decades.
In September, 2007, yet another historic and massive, but peaceful
protests for democracy led by the students and monks took place; but, as
always, the regime brutally murdered the innocent protesters and monks.
The Peoples' endless and painful struggle for freedom, for over four
decades, continues to this day.
The world has yet again witnessed the brutality of the regime when the Cyclone Nargis devastated the lower delta region of Burma on May 2nd, 2008. Hundreds of thousands left for dead by starvations denying much needed urgent help despite international appeals and pressure.
To continue to raise the awareness
about the brutal dictatorship and the people's suffering in Burma, and to
discuss planning actions, this year again, BADA will hold its ninth Annual
Burma Human Rights Day event on Saturday March 13, 2010 at the Berkeley
Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists hall, 1924 Cedar (@Bonita) in Berkeley
from 6 pm to 10 pm.
The military regime in Burma is planning a sham election this year to
formally erase the results of 1990 election in which People of Burma
overwhelming voted for the National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi. Furthermore, the constitution that was illegal crafted by the
military and forcibly gotten the approval during the Nagis disaster is designed
to formalize the military rule in Burma. Therefore, 2010 is the most important
year yet for the people of Burma and their beloved leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
and all prodemocracy forces in Burma. Our speakers will discuss the current
political situation in Burma as well as human rights issues and, most
importantly, how you can help.
Therefore, please join us for a
dinner, film and outstanding speakers on Burma and human rights issues.

Chevron's pipeline is Burma's military lifeline as it provides much-needed $$$
to the regime to purchase arms from China to keep stranglehold on the people.
Along with the scarce and much-needed GAS that belongs to the people, the
pipeline take away the very livelihood of the people of Burma by effectively
fueling the brutal dictatorship for decades.
4. Sign Petition to UN
and ASEAN: I call on the UN and ASEAN to take immediate action to
secure the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, after she was detained in
custody in Burma’s notorious Insein Jail.
Messages of concern from ASEAN and the UN have, in the past, been
routinely ignored and defied by the Burmese regime. Words are not
enough. The reputation of the UN and ASEAN is now at stake, I urge you
to take firm action by sending an envoy immediately to deliver a strong
message to the Burmese regime calling for the immediate release of Aung
San Suu Kyi and all Burma’s political prisoners.

Stop the Burma's regime
now! Take actions to help free her!
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been arrested
and is facing military trial; She has been moved to Insein Prison!
The trial of the Nobel Peace laureate is scheduled to start Monday at a
special court at Yangon's notorious Insein Prison, where she was
arraigned and then held Thursday. The charge against her carries a
sentence of up to five years and raises the possibility that Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi, 63, who has been reported to be in fragile health, will
face lengthy incarceration under much harsher conditions at Insein,
where more then a hundred political prisoners has died while in custody.
The international community must stop the regime from continued and
ongoing destruction of people’s beloved leader and democracy icon of
Burma.

Join January 11th, 60th Burma Independence Day Protest in front of
Chinese Consulate (11:30 am - 1 pm)
January 4th, 2008 is the
60th anniversary of Burma’s Independence Day, and we will mark it with a
protest in front of Chinese consulate. India has recently frozen its arms
sales to Burma
for six months. We need China to do more, and a lot more. The time is from
11:30 am to 1:30 pm. The consulate
office (where many visa applicants usually are) is closed between 12 pm to
1 pm; but it opens some days when there are many applicants. Beginning at
11:30 and ending at 1:00 will cover it in either case. And many who work in
the City will be able to join us at lunch time.
When: Friday January 11, 2008;
11:30 am to
1:30 pm (Stand up protests and meditation protests)
Where:
Consulate General-China; 1450 Laguna St; San Francisco, CA 94115; (415) 674-2900;
Get directions
How: Activists to protest with song and visuals
while Buddhist monks and lay persons do a sitting Vipassana meditation.
There could be rain, so bring your umbrella and rain coat. Please wear red
and bring signs and banners.
Why: China is the primary and biggest
enabler of Burma's regime. We demand China reverse its irresponsible
policies towards Burma. China must stop its military, diplomatic and
economic support of the junta which is bringing ruin and death to Burma. We
demand that China NOT veto UN measures designed to pressure the regime.
Until China takes such strong and effective measures, we call upon the
international community to highlight bringing shame and humiliation upon the
2008 Beijing Olympics.
