South Asia Alliance for Poverty Eradication (SAAPE) strongly condemns the brutal act of the autocratic rulers of Burma against the peacefully marching monks and ordinary people for the quest of democracy, peace and prosperity. Government is to serve the people; if it does not serve them then it must be thrown away. The Military dictatorship of Burma must respect the wishes of the people and immediately quit the government. The culprits must be booked and tried under law.

We salute the bravery of Burmese people and the monks and extend our solidarity to you. We also request all democracy and peace loving people of the world and their respective organizations and international community to support the struggles of Burmese people and the monks. We warn the junta to immediately stop its heinous act against the peaceful protestors.

In solidarity,
Prajeena
