Benedict Rogers, CSW’s Advocacy Officer for South Asia and author of A Land without Evil: Stopping the Genocide of Burma’s Karen People, said, “This is an exciting new campaign to mobilise people to use their freedom to promote Burma’s freedom. The struggle for human rights in Burma deserves as much attention as South Africa’s anti–apartheid movement received, and our aim is to inspire and equip people to rise up and demand real action.
"Every person who has the freedom to do so should put their belief in justice into action. Having visited Burma and its borderlands 23 times, and having seen and heard the suffering of the people firsthand, I believe that we cannot rest until the situation in Burma changes and all its people can live in peace and freedom."
