| Two
days before the "arrest yourself"
events on June 19th, we called on individuals
and groups around the world to organize mega-protests
in front of embassies of Burma's military regime.
Where possible, we called on individuals and
groups to conduct peaceful civil disobedience
aimed at disrupting the activities of the embassies.
In Washington, DC activists attempted to deliver
over 6,000 birthday cards (in honor of Aung
San Suu Kyi's 60th birthday) signed by people
living in the United States to Aung San Suu
Kyi. Similar events took place all around the
world!
We were joined by Senator Tom Lantos from California,
many representatives of the Washington DC-area
Burmese community, and many members of the press.
See who arrested themselves on June 19, 2005!
