Call to Action

We honor and commend all those physicians, nurses and medical and nursing students who provided medical care to those injured peaceful protesters. At the same time, we are deeply saddened by the fact that those peaceful protesters who received injuries and wounds were not allowed to be taken to hospitals immediately. What is more repulsive to us is the news that some of the wounded and injured were cremated alive at Ye Way cemetery.

Therefore, we the Concerned Myanmar Physicians and Professionals strongly condemn SPDC for such inhuman acts of atrocity committed against its own people. As a civilized nation and society, we the People cannot and will not tolerate the rule of atavistic bullies who dare to maim and massacre venerable sangha and unarmed citizens in full view of the world.

Therefore, we emphatically urge our fellow physician, nurses and healthcare professionals to join hands with our venerable Sayadaws and people general strike that will begin on Monday, October 1, 2007.

We also urge fellow members of our professions who are serving in the military to join us in this fight for the future of our People, Sasana and Nation.

A senior Burmese physician's show of solidarity

The following letter by Prof. U Thein Htut, FRCP, FRACP to the Australian, a news paper here. This was published yesterday, the 27th.

Prof. U Thein Htut is a very senior gastroloenterolgist and is the son of the late Prof. U Min Sein FRCP, Professor of Medicine, and the late Prof. Daw Yin May, FRCS, FRCOG, FRCP, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in the Medical College, University of Rangoon. Both saya's parents were two of the earliest pioneers of medicine in Burma. Prof. Daw Yin May was the first person ever to be elected as Fellow of the three different colleges of UK. She was also the person who diagnosed Amoebic vaginitis, which was originally called May's Disease.

Dear Mr Editor,

The monks in Burma (the Sangha) are called "phongyis" in the Burmese language, meaning "highly revered". Phongyis are treated with the greatest respect by Burmese of all religions. They have forsaken all worldly possessions. They play an essential role in the religious and indeed the social life in Burma. In Theravada Buddhism practiced in Burma, they are one of the Triple Gem: the Buddha, the Buddha's Teachings and the Sangha.

For the phongyis to demonstrate in their tens of thousands is unprecedented. They are unarmed, their aim is one of peace. They reflect the concern for the ongoing suffering of the Burmese people.

Burma has been under a continuing chain of military dictatorships since 1962. Many, many thousands have left the country. The military rulers are essentially thugs. They accept no criticism. These thugs wield absolute power. They are of the same race, culture and religion as the majority of the Burmese. However, because they wear the khaki uniform, they are a class apart. They have benefits in salaries, education and all amenities.

These thugs have continued in power with recognition and support from neighbouring countries, including members of ASEAN. These countries have exploited Burma's vast natural resources. Some may be afraid of Burma's large standing army.

We do not yet know the outcome of the Burmese Sanghas protest marches now supported by the public. It reflects the ongoing suffering of the people.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Thein Htut.

Advice to protesters

Please do not provoke or attack soldiers and police.Do not throw stones or say abusive words to them.Just chant metta sutta and be disciplined all the time.

For public
1) Do not protest separately between monks and public. Make it togehter as monk is one row and public is one row. ie they will openfire to public definately.

2) standby video camera, camera, batteries for video, camera andhandphone, generators, UPS ie they will cut electricity during openfire

3) Open all the doors for temple, mosques, churches, pagodasprotesters can run and hide easily if they need. let army to openfire to temples

For NLD Candidates,

1) Do not wear obviously that you are NLD candidates, ie You are thefirst target to open fire.

2) Do not show signboard that you are selected candidates and mixwith public.

3) Send one group to the place near Aunty Su,'s house to monitor thestatus.

4) Contact to US and UK embassies and UN offcie to monitor the statusand report to their personnels immediately. ie Now UN assembly is inprogress.

For those non-buddhist protesters,

1) do not wear your religious dress during protest ie junta will openfire to non-buddhist first according to 8888 experiences.

2) Open your temple doors for public to run and hide in case,especially, one mosque and one church near city hall need to co-operate.

3) Listen to buddhist monks ie there is no differentiation betweenreligious all are burmese people and we stay at same land.

For foreigners and foreign journalists,

Try to wear burmese dress(trousers better than shorts) and blend in the crowd and conceal cameras and videos.

were start to protest along the way anawyathar street ဗိုလ္ခ်ဳပ္ေပးတဲ့
စစ္ပညာ >>>> ျပည္သူေတြကို သတ္ဖို႔မဟုတ္ဘူး ။ ဗိုလ္ခ်ဳပ္ေပးတဲ့ စစ္ပညာ
>>>> ဘုန္းႀကီးေတြကို သတ္ဖို႔မဟုတ္ဘူးဆိုၿပီး ေအာ္ဟစ္ ဆႏၵျပေနၾကပါၿပီ

Don't afraid them ever alive of we're life-ဗိုလ္ခ်ဳပ္ေပးတဲ့ စစ္ပညာ >>>> ျပည္သူေတြကို သတ္ဖို႔မဟုတ္ဘူး ။ ဗိုလ္ခ်ဳပ္ေပးတဲ့ စစ္ပညာ >>>> ဘုန္းႀကီးေတြကို သတ္ဖို႔မဟုတ္ဘူးဆိုၿပီး ေအာ္ဟစ္ ဆႏၵျပေနၾကပါၿပီ ။   8:45 AM

From Rangoon

yes! today at taingyi monk army shoot to some novice and monks !

 

so most of the people are angry so we bame a big group and we go down along the way to anawyather at the time side of the way most of young people join with us

 

at sanpya our group are more than 200,000people

From Rangoon

we demostrate over 500,000people  along the way to kan nar lan near thirimingalar zay

Let's be wise, don't fall into the same page from the old playbook

Next the junta will declare martial law. Citing lawlessness by the
demostrators though in reality their thugs are the ones causing the
disurbance, Tat Ma Daw will have to rescue the country from chaos and
looters by shooting them. People should be thankful to Tat Ma Daw for
restoring law and order.

Many hot blooded youth will go underground or run to border areas to
form a students' army or a people's army. Rumors said that truck load
of M-16s supplied by CIA is waiting for them in Thai-Burma border. In
reality, the only thing waiting is malaria and the well equipped enemy
Tat Ma Daw.

At the other side of the ocean, many concerned countries are trying
UN security council to intervene. But all motions are vetoed by the
two permanent members of the UN security council. You know who they
are, the ones that are sucking up all the natural resources of Myamnar
by ganging up with the junta. After a month or two, fatigue sets in
and all disparse.

Sounds depressingly familier? But I think this time we may have a
special window of opportunity if we act wisely and in time. Despite
the public facade, the big brother Pauk Phaw Gyi China must be quite
nervous about the smooth celebration of 2008 Olympic on its soil.
After all it is their coming out party. Let's start drumming up the
campaign to pursuade other countries to boycott it unless China pull
it strings and tell the junta to sit down for a dialogue and
reconciliation. And let China know that this campaign is coming.

I think that's our only chance. The other methods, we have tried. And
we all now the outcomes. Anybody colleting signatures or petition to
be sent to Chinese government? I want to know and participate. It will
be more effective to demonstrate in front of the Chinese embassy than
Burmese embassy in my opinion. Just my humble two cents.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Mahatma Gandhi
Dear Medical and Health Professional Colleagues,
My late father was made me read books about Mahatma Gandhi as well as the complete set of speeches given by Gandhi during his life time. My father also taught me to understand and follow the two Gandhiian Principles of “Ahimsa” and “Satyagraha”- of non-violent resistance. What is happening now in our country is very much in accordance of the Gandhian Principles.
We would like to assure you that you have the empathy and support of all of us who are not with you physically.
I am sharing with you the above wise words of Mahatma Gandhi’s of how he had been able to encourage himself at times when he despaired of not achieving his goals in life.
With ananda metta
