Military is twisting the plot

The latest reports from Burma are indicating that the protests have been silenced for the time being. It has also been reported that the military continues arresting people that were involved in the protests.
To add insult to injury families in some areas are being forced to march in pro-military rallies, in front of government owned tv cameras, and if they refuse they are threatened with arrest or fines.
The internet remains one important source of news coming out of Burma. There are many reports of the military entering homes and inspecting computers to see if they have been used to send emails.
We must keep up our pressure on all local politicians so that they in turn use their power to pressure the Burmese Junta.
This is a very important time for us to take a stand for an end to this violent regime.
