 BURMA: PHOTO ACTION IN SOLIDARITY WITH BURMA'S POLITICAL PRISONERS  

Youth groups across the UK have already taken fantastic action for Burma. Now with the election approaching on 7 November, it's time to step up the pressure. 

TAKE ACTION: Stand in solidarity with Burma's political prisoners by taking our photo action. We'll deliver all the photos to world leaders at the Asia-Europe Meeting in Brussels this October and ask them to demand freedom for Burma's political prisoners, and real human rights improvements across the country.

TAKE ACTION: Did you know that Zarganar, Burma's most popular comedian, is currently serving a 35-year prison sentence for criticising the government's handling of Cyclone Nargis? Send a letter to the Burmese authorities calling for his release.
