Free Burma's Political Prisoners Now! FOR ACTION PLEASE

Dear Friends in the Asia-Pacific region, We are now at 286,144 signatures and counting. Thank you to those of you who have been in touch to update us on your campaign activities and petition counts. We know that many groups are small, busy and have few resources, so we really appreciate it.

FOR ACTION - PETITION COUNTS

However, we are in URGENT need of your latest petition counts and updates. If we don't get feedback from endorsing groups, then we don't make progress towards our target, it's as simple as that!

And if we don't hear about your activities, then there is nothing to put in the newsletter Pease share your counts and news with us.


FOR ACTION - EMBEDDING THE CAMPAIGN FILM ON YOUR WEBSITES

I know some of you have already done this. For those of you who haven't and would like to, here's how:

Wordpress; Click on the Embed Video button and type in the url of the film. (http://www.fbppn.net/?page_id=333)

Blogspot; If you go to the video page - http://vimeo.com/3621854 - you will see in the right hand corner a button that says "embed". Click on it and it will give you a code which you just paste into your website or blog, in the html part of the website.

Own Website; if you host your own website, just embed the code that Vimeo gives you, into the website code (as above for Blogspot)

Different websites have different programs and therefore different ways to embed films. It is possible that none of the above works and therefore we recommend you consult your website help menu, on how to embed films.

FOR INFO

a) In the next day or so we will send all endorsing groups information about our plans for after 24 May, for delivery of the petition to Ban ki-Moon and follow-up work

b) on Monday 11 May AAPP will release a new report highlighting the current bad health situation of Burma's political prisoners, made worse by the regime's systematic transfers to remote prisons. Please consider how you can use this for campaign work in your country.

With grateful thanks for everything you are doing for the campaign,

Rachel
