Hope

We must never give up our hope that change can come to both Burma and Tibet. It is hope that allows a flicker of light to manifest where there is none. Without hope, there will only be darkness. As activists we are like candles. One candle can illuminate only a room, but a billion candles together, can illuminate a country.

Burma's Political Prisoners

FREE BURMA!

I took this image recently at a commemoration for those who were killed in the Depaeyin Massacre in Burma, seven years ago. The ceremony was held in protest, outside the Myanmar embassy in Tokyo.

I hope that this image brings notice to the continued struggle of those Burmese living in exile. Their lives are often very difficult. Change must come to their country, so they can once again live in a place called home.

Burma - The Dictatorship Of The Absurd (teaser)

The 7th Anniversary Of The Depaeyin Massacre In Burma

"For those who don’t know about the Depaeyin Massacre, on 30th May 2003, 2 miles outside of Depaeyin Township, a junta lead mob of about 5,000 anti-NLD protesters assaulted Aung San Suu Kyi’s convoy and a crowd of NLD supporters, killing hundreds of innocent people. With bamboo sticks, organized thugs beat and maimed unarmed supporters who came to listen to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Government officials directed the assault, while the police assisted the attackers in this needless blood bath.

Later after the assault, police arrested all the survivors, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who was the actual target of this thinly-masked assassination attempt. In the bloody aftermath, 80 or more NLD members and associates where beaten to death and disfigured during this ghoulish and barbaric junta-staged ambush. Everybody who died on that fateful day, died for democracy and many died protecting Aung San Suu Kyi."
