Burma: After the evidence – what next?
Democratic Voice of Burma, as featured in Burma VJ, is fundamental in getting accurate and unbiased information out of and into Burma. After the video evidence of the monks’ demonstrations, the outside world is now aware of the human rights violations going on inside the country. But will there be any reaction by the international community at a political level?
Participants:
– Khin Maung Win, deputy chairman of the Democratic Voice of Burma – Peter Gitmark, Conservative spokesman for democracy and human rights and a member of Parliament’s foreign affairs and defense committee with the involvement of Burma.
– Jon Peder Egenæs, Secretary General of Amnesty Norway.
Chaired by: Erling Borgen
