Myanmar Forcing Cyclone Survivors out of Camps
May 30, 2008

Please note this.  This is horrible news, and I want as many people as possible to be aware of what is happening.  The government of Myanmar has handled this entire crisis so poorly, that tens of thousands have died for no reason. It is inexcusable and not acceptable.  I can't believe that they are doing this to their people after what the population has already suffered.  It really saddens me.

5/30/08, 11:46 PM JOHN HEILPRIN YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - Myanmar's military government is forcing cyclone victims out of refugee camps and "dumping" them near their devastated villages with virtually no aid supplies, U.N. and church officials said Friday.

PLEASE BE THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS
Oct 23, 2006
Focus: Human Rights
Action Request: Petition
Location: Australia
Please help these refugees in Australia who are being held in conditions much worse than those in many prisons - these people are refugees, not prisoners.  They are being treated like the inmates in Gitmo......

They need your help desperately.....it takes 30 seconds out of your life to sign a petition, and yet that 30 seconds may make the differences between freedom and a living "hell" for these people....

The current conditions in Australian Detention Centres are appalling. "Detention centre" is really a euphemism that makes these concentration camps sound relatively harmless, like school detention.

In reality, they are as draconian, dehumanising, punitive and humiliating as prisons, and in many ways worse:

Please sign the following petition to help the REFUGEES.....
