More details on Dr Win's visit to Northern Ireland available on the local Amnesty blog, Belfast and Beyond, including his request for action from our politicians on weapons components from here possibly ending up in the Burmese generals' arsenal...
I hope a good crowd turn up to hear Dr Win speak. The people of Burma need our help they need to know we care. The big disaster would be if we forgot about them. News headlines have a great habit of fading quickly away leaving the problem unreported and unresolved. What can we do for the people of Burma well we can Blog write letters fax MP'S raise our anger to a higher level keep it in the headlines until these evil people who rule this country are brought to justice and the Burma people are able to rule themselves. Let us not forget them!
Thanks jboy. Great crowd at Queen's - the room was filled to overflowing with students and others sitting on every square inch of floorspace, standing four deep at the back and even listening outside in the corridor, despite not being able to see proceedings.
The PM-in-exile was quite touched by the response.
Who says students - or NI people in general - are only interested in themselves?
