INFORMATION ABOUT BURMA WEEK

Burma Week will be held at RMIT (Melbourne, Australia), at the city
campus, from April 7 to 11.

Burma Week has been organised to raise student and community
awareness about the political situation in Burma, where the
military dictatorship continues to commit many human rights
violations against its own people.

The program will include forums, speakers, performers,
documentaries and movies; a week-long photographic exhibition;
and Burmese food stalls. We will be highlighting the human rights
atrocities and the suppression of democracy in Burma and the
plight of Burmese refugees living on the Thai-Burma border.
All events are open to the public, and admission is free
(donations welcome).

Burma Week has been organised by RMIT Student Union, with the
International Students Collective.

Burma Week aims to raise funds for Burmese refugees in Thailand
and on the Thai-Burma border, therefore donations are welcome.
