Government authorities are initiating a media campaign targeting citizen journalists who took footage of government brutality during the recent protests in Rangoon and distributed it to foreign media, according to journalists and reporters in Burma’s former capital.
The government has called upon state-run media agencies and government supporters to publish photographs of citizen journalists and take action against them.
That will make receiving pictures as the one above more difficult; the junta has also shut down the Internet. This much we know: the massacre continues unabated while China -- which purchases oil, natural gas, timber, gems and minerals from Burma -- remains silent.
Free Burma!
International Bloggers' Day for Burma on the 4th of October
International bloggers are preparing an action to support the peaceful revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and show our sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime without weapons. These Bloggers are planning to refrain from posting to their blogs on October 4 and just put up one Banner then, underlined with the words „Free Burma!“.
