Dear Friends,
This weekend we heard the news we’ve feared since the coup began on 1 February. The military opened fire on peaceful protesters, with well over 20 confirmed dead and many more wounded.
And yet the people continue to peacefully protest. The picture of Sister Nu Thawng kneeling before the police, begging them not to shoot protesters is one that I can’t forget. Now the free world must match the courage of Myanmar’s people.
Please stand with the people of Myanmar now by calling for tough sanctions – against the military not the people.
Join in prayer with key figures in Myanmar and the UK
Please join me for Burma Day of Prayer on Monday 15 March at 7pm.
I have invited some outstanding guests who share our heart for Myanmar, including: Dr Sasa (Special Envoy of CRPH to the United Nations), Baroness Cox, Cardinal Charles Bo, Lord David Alton, Dave Eubank (Director, Free Burma Rangers) and of course CSW’s Founder President Mervyn Thomas.
I hope you can make it. Sign up here
