8/15の燃料費大幅値上げに対して市民から抗議行動を受けているミャンマー軍事政権は、9/26にデモの武力弾圧に踏み切り、報道関係の外国人(日本人)を含む多数の死者を出す事態に至っています。 この暴挙に対する抗議の意志を、こちらの署名で伝えることができるそうです(詩音さんによる村野瀬玲奈さんのブログコメント欄への情報提供です)。 "AVAAZ.ORG THE WORLD IN ACTION"による、Stand with the Burmese Protesters(ミャンマーの人々と共に抗議に立ち上がろう!〈このタイトルおよび本文の日本語訳はStiffmuscleさんに提供していただきました〉) 上記署名サイトの説明文;
After decades of military dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising – and they need our help. Marches begun by monks and nuns have snowballed, bringing hundreds of thousands to the streets. Now the crackdown has begun... (何十年間も軍事独裁政権が続く中、今、ミャンマーの人々は立ち上ろうとしています。そして、彼らにはわたしたちの助けが必要です。僧侶や尼僧が始めた抗議の行進は雪ダルマ式にその数を増し、何十万の人々が街頭に集まってきました。すでに弾圧が始まっています。)
When the Burmese last marched in 1988, the military massacred thousands. But if the world stands up and supports their struggle, this time they could succeed. We'll send our petition to United Nations Security Council members (including the dictatorship's main backer China) and to media at the UN, while also alerting the Burmese to our support: (1998の前回のデモ行進では、数千人のミャンマー国民が軍によって虐殺されました。しかし、世界が彼らの戦いに賛同し支援すれば、今回は実を結ぶかもしれないのです。わたちたちは、請願書を国連安全保障委員会のメンバー国(ミャンマー軍事政権の後ろだてである中国も含む)と国連にいるメディアに送ります。もちろん、ミャンマーの人々にも送りわたしたちの支持を伝えます。)
Burma is ruled by one of the most brutal military dictatorships in the world. For decades the Burmese regime has fought off pressure--imprisoning elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and democracy activists, wiping out thousands of villages, imposing forced labour, creating refugees-
But last Tuesday Buddhist monks and nuns, revered in Burma, began marching and chanting prayers. The protests spread as hundreds of thousands of ordinary people and public figures joined in, finding the hope they’d lost. Now they’re facing crackdown – so please, show your solidarity to this movement towards reconciliation and democracy and sign the emergency petition supporting the Burmese people -- it'll be delivered to United Nations Security Council members and international media all week:
In the past, Burma's military rulers have massacred the demonstrators and crushed democracy. The world must stand with the Burmese people at this time, to show the military rulers that the world will not tolerate repression and violence.
Right now, global leaders are gathering in New York for the annual United Nations summit. In speeches, press interviews but also in real actions, we need them to show Burma's military junta that the global community is willing to act in solidarity with the protesters.
Show your solidarity to this movement for peace and democracy and sign the emergency petition supporting the Burmese people. It'll be delivered to UN Security Council members and the UN press corps all week:
