New information about the September demonstrations in Burma has just been released. Human Rights Watch has a new report out stating that the crackdown by the military in September was bloodier than the government was admitting. There were more beatings, shootings, and arrests than reported by the government at that point in time. The Human Rights Watch report was put together with information from eyewitnesses. And Human Rights Watch state that the crackdown is far from over.

Even if the situation is no longer in our news, remember: 1) Aung San Suu Kyi is still under house arrest, and 2) the country is still under the control of the military government. Check out this website(and there are many others if you just google Burma): DontForgetBurma.org.
