            New York Action 

To all of Burmese Democratic friends,

                   We, New Yorkers, Democratic Burmese students, and all 
activist groups joined together in front of Asia Society and demonstrated
against Win Aung's talk. We started our demo at from 8 am: to 10 30 am: We
chanted slogans (with loudspeaker) as follows:
                            Win Aung(One) -liar!(all)
                            Win Aung- get out!
                            Win Aung -go home!
                            Win Aung -murder!
                            Win Aung- Killer!
                            Win Aung -Stupid!
                            Win Aung -Butcher!

                 People power! People power! People power!

      And also we hand out flyers and statements from 
                         1. Civil Society for Burma statement (Burma and the 
year 2000 millennium)
                         2.  Free Burma Coalition's flyer (Imagine waking up 
in a country where.....)
                         3. Burmese Students' volunteer Association's flyer - 
Win Aung Go Home, stop lying and  What the international press says about 
Burma (The Headlines )
                          4. What is happening at the Asia Society? flyer 

         And about 9:30 am, When Win Aung and his colleagues came out from 
the Asia society, all Burmese activists pointed their finger to his face
because when they saw a filthy liar, they cannot control their temper and
suddenly shouted at him with so many strong words in Burmese.  Win Aung was
so scared and his face was very red when he quickly slipped into his car.
All his body guards were smiling and laughing at first but their face
changed when we scold their boss.  They got their lesson that we are in
America and we can express what ever we want infront of them..
