Saffron Revolution is the protest of the saffron-colours robes Buddhist monks who were at the forefront of the demonstrations against military dictatorship in Burma. Burmese monks have taken part in protests in the past, against British colonial rule and against a half-century of rule by military dictatorship. The costs of basic commodities were rising continuously and normal people are distressfully relying on their little earning under military junta. On August 15, 2007 the government increase the price of natural gas by about 500% which led to an increase in food prices. Long term suffering of the economic distress as well as living under the injustice system of the government makes the people took to the streets to protest the current conditions. In response to the protests, the government began arresting and beating demonstrators. On September 5, 2007, juntas troops forcibly broke up a peaceful demonstration in Pakokku and injured several monks. The military refused to apologize the demanding by the deadline of September 17. This sparked the huge number of monks involving in the protests. The biggest antigovernment protests in two decades, thousands of barefoot monks held their alms receiving bowls upside down refusing to receive alms from the military rulers and their families — effectively excommunicating them from the religion that is at the core of Burmese culture. Tens of thousands of Burmese people led by these monks took to the streets of Rangoon demanding for change. The Buddhist monks were beaten arrested, many monks were disrobed, and several monasteries were raided, ransacked, and closed in retribution for leading protest marches. Now again, the Buddhist monks of Burma demand the military junta to apologise the killing and insulting of monks and the religion not later than October 2, 2009 or face the consequences of excommunication starting on October 3, 2009 in Burma and around the world. This is the third time calling for boycotting junta and this could be the Second waves of saffron revolution .

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls on the international community to bring the Burmese Military Junta to justice for forcefully repressing the people of Burma. The International Community must commit to more aggressive and viable solutions to resolve the crisis in Burma. The free world urged Burma to consider the ideology of democracy. At great personal risk Burmese people chose to stand defiant and vote with their hearts and minds, not from the barrel of a gun. The criminal regime of Than Shwe has crossed the boundaries of morality as well as sanity. The shear brutality of this regime has reached epic perorations in senseless crimes against humanity. The free and democratic would have a moral responsibility to intervene on behalf of humanity.

Aung San Suu Kyi has been calling for genuine time-bound dialogue. Military regime fails to cooperate and they are planning to hold another election in 2010 without honoring the 1990 elections results in which Aung San Suu Kyis party, National League for Democracy (NLD), won landslide victory. This is time to take actions and not words. Military government bought the time for 20 years and we should not let it happen anymore. United Nations must set out the dead line to do genuine time bound dialogue with democratic forces led by Aung San Suu Kyi. If military regime doesnt understand carrot and then, it is time to use stick. United Nations must step up further in order to solve Burma crisis and actions needed to be taken practically focus on to implement 1990 Elections result. There is no question what the demands of Aung San Suu Kyi and National League for Democracy (NLD) are fore they never changed. On February 2, 2009 they reaffirmed their position to; •recognise 1990 election results accordingly •review 2008 constitution •allow to convene peoples assembly based on 1990 election result •release all political prisoners including Aung San Suu Kyi For more information visit Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) at http://www.bdcburma.org http://bdc-burma.blogspot.com/ http://www.gcast.com/u/bdcburma/main

Burma Democratic Concerns (BDC) has determined that it is time for Ibrahim Gambari to vacate his post as United Nations Envoy to Burma. His continual failure to stem the tide of genocide has yielded catastrophic results in human suffering and death to the citizens of Burma. His efforts to bring democracy to Burma were counterproductive at best. Myo Thein, Director of Burma Democratic Concerns in the United Kingdom, ascertained, We have been expressing our doubts over his (Gambari) impartiality and now the image is much clearer that he is merely a special advocate for the Burmese Junta
