Burmese Students Protest Asian Leaders’ Summit

HeadlineNov 21, 2007

In Singapore, a group of Burmese student activists gathered Tuesday to protest leaders meeting at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ annual summit. The students criticized what they called regional inaction at the Burmese junta’s crackdown on the ongoing pro-democracy uprising.

Student protester: “The Burmese people are so discontented, you know. We will fight for our people, and we will strive to get the desired outcome that all the Burmese people want.”

The protest came one day after the summit canceled a planned briefing from UN envoy to Burma Ibrahim Gambari.
