Description

A Day of International Action for a Free Burma
Free Aung San Suu Kyi & Support the Monks in Burma

Saturday 6th October, 12noon - 2pm, Civic Square, Wellington, New Zealand

This is the Wellington arm of an international vigil that's taking place in every major city in the world at 12noon on Saturday 6th October.
It's not a protest, a march, a rally or a demonstration. It's a peaceful gathering to show support and solidarity for the Burmese monks, to gather support for a comprehensive arms embargo against the Burmese military, and to express our shock and sadness at what's happening in Burma right now.

This will be a multi-denominational event in support of our Buddhist friends. Everyone's invited to wear red to symbolise the colour of the monks' robes. There will also be red armbands and headbands available - you can tie them onto yourself or onto the nearest tree if you like. And it's happening rain or shine, so bring a red raincoat!

Speakers will include people from the Burmese community and Amnesty International.
