"No More Guns for Gas"

26 March 2007 will be the fourth Global Day of Action against the Shwe
Gas Project in Burma. On that day, we hope that many activists in about
20 countries around the world will stand up for human rights and
environmental protection by protesting the Shwe Gas Project in Burma,
targeting Daewoo International and the Government of India's military
support to the regime in Burma. Human rights and environmental
activists will gather at local South Korean Embassies, Daewoo
International Offices, and/OR Indian Embassies. We will bring with us
toy guns and in a unified, non-violent, symbolic gesture, we will lay
down our guns and ask Korea and India to do the same.

I believe there will be activists at both Indian and Korean Embassies. While you are welcome to go the location most convenient for you, students from the American, University of Maryland, (may be/hopefully, I haven't heard from them yet) George Washington will all be at the Korean Embassy. I encourage all to join and stand up for human rights and the voiceless people of Burma.
