update news from Burma and DC

Hi Everyone,

Greetings from Ingjin.

Today, I'd like to post update information of recent protest in Rangoon. The Burmese military regime has arrested at least five people, the day after a public protest over living conditions in Burma. One of the protesters had been arrested during the demonstration on Thursday and remained in custody. State media say the protest was illegal and had caused panic among shopkeepers and passers-by.

By the way, it is a good news that Earthrights International is organizing the Washington, DC Thai Embassy Demonstration for the Global Day of Action against the Damming of the Salween River. Please visit a following website to see their flyer for the event.

Hope to see you there.
