Dear friends,
The uprising of the anti-junta protests began when more than 100,000 Buddhist monks and their supporters flooded the streets of Burma's biggest city Rangoon on 24 September 2007. The violence began two days ago later when the security forces fired tear gas and live bullets into the streets and beat protesters. The death in toll is now in the hundreds and some media have estimated this to be thousands in the crackdown on demonstration of Buddhist monks and Burma's people.
The crackdown has triggered protests and demonstrations throughout the world. We as civil society in Malaysia very concern on this issue and would like to give our solidarity support to the people of Burma. So that, we call for the following programs:
