Concerned Regina residents, including newly arrived refugees from Burma's ethnic states, will rally in downtown Regina tomorrow (Thursday) in support of democracy in Burma. People will gather outside the Regina Public Library at noon, then march to the centre of Victoria Park. As Burma's military prepares for a showdown with protestors inside Burma, Canadians are being called on to pray, meditate and press for UN intervention and an end to Canadian trade with Burma. Canadian companies are the junta's foremost foreign investors. Amnesty International Canada has called the unfolding situation in Burma a "human rights emergency."
Watch this space for news of subsequent rallies and vigils.

I'd really like to see a list of those Canadian companies which have invested in Burma despite our government's policy on Burma. But then, who the hell pays attention to policy anyway?  | Written by pelliott on 2007-09-27 06:58:01
Here's the list: CFOB Divestment Campaign | From the Regina Demonstration
