is a global protest.
âAs long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our life will be filled with anguish and shame. What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs.â - Elie Wiesel, from his Nobel Peace Prize speech, which he is sending out now to inspire those working in support of Aung San Suu Kyi and the Burmese people
