Decatur vigil for Burma
October 5, 2007 at 12:27 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsAs many of you know, the military gangsters who control Burma recently began a violent crackdown against peaceful, pro-democracy demonstrators there. A BBC report estimates up to 10,000 participants have been arrested.
On Saturday, Oct. 6, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m., there will be a vigil in downtown Decatur to express public support for the brave Burmese men and women risking their lives to bring democracy to their country.
The vigil takes place at the intersection of Clairemont and East Ponce de Leon avenues. Members of Atlanta’s Burmese refugee community will be among the participants.
Burma is the subject of this week’s Don’t Panic column in CL.
