Call to raise Burma issue at UN


Irish campaigners for democracy in Burma urged the Foreign Affairs Minister to raise the issue at a United Nations summit on Monday.

Minister Micheal Martin is due to deliver a wide-ranging address in front of world leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York. Burma Action Ireland held a silent demo in Dublin to remember the brutal crackdown on pro-democracy marches led by Buddhist monks in Burma a year ago.

The Remember the Brave Monks of Burma demo on Grafton Street marked the first anniversary of the so-called Saffron Revolution in the Asian country.
