CALLING FOR GLOBAL ACTION

Dear colleagues, friends and leaders of the Karen communities,

We can't be silence after what has just happened to our homeland where around 2500 people of our civilians in Kler Lwee Htoo District are forced to flee their homes into the jungle in early February in desperate for aid. They are still hiding in the jungle and dare not to collect the food they hid as the Burmese Troops are still occupying the area.

Again on Friday 19th February, the Burmese Army fired a mortar bomb at a school in Mutraw (Papun) district in Northern Karen State . One schoolboy has been killed and two more injured.

We are now planning to have a Global Day of Action regarding the new major military offensive by this brutal Military Dictatorship in Kaw Thoo Lei our homeland.

We would like to ask you to join this Global Day of Action in solidarity and take actions as below.

We would like you to call on your government to say that the attack against Karen civilians is Crimes Against Humanity which is in breach of International law and urge your government to push for United Nations to set up a commission of enquiry into war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by SPDC.

Global Day of Action will happen on 9th March 2010. Karen Community Association, UK will be organizing the demonstration in front of British Foreign Office in London at 12:30 – 13:30.

WE ARE CALLING FOR KAREN OVER THE WORLD TO START TAKING SERIOUS ACTIONS ON THAT DAY AND SO ON.
