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 .

Venerable Sayadaw U Uttara is the prominent Buddhist Monk Leader. He calls for the world citizens and world leaders to work harder to realise the mandates given by Aung San Suu Kyi and National League for Democracy (NLD) which won the 1990 election overwhelmingly. U Uttara highlighted the importance of four main principles demanded by Aung San Suu Kyi and National League for Democracy (NLD), on February 2, 2009, when they met with the visiting UN envoy, i.e. * to put more pressure on the military regime to release all political prisoners including Aung San Suu Kyi immediately and unconditionally * to review on the constitution which is designed to legitimize military rule in Burma and adopted unilaterally in 2008 * to recognize the 1990 election result in which Aung San Suu Kyi's party won landslide victory * to allow to convene the people's parliament based on 1990 election result These would be the minimum terms needed to be fulfilled before NLD could have a dialogue with the Burmese military rulers, they reaffirmed. They are the mandates given by our leaders and it is our duty to realise them, he added.

Aung San Suu Kyi once said that The results of these elections will remain valid until such time as the Members of Parliament elected in 1990 by the people have had a chance to get together and decide what the next step is going to be. The world has to make certain that the outcome of these elections is honoured. We are particularly grateful to our friends and allies all over the world for supporting us in our endeavour to have the results of the 1990 elections recognized at this time, when the military regime is trying hard to pretend that the results of the elections are no longer valid . we are looking for a more positive and bolder lead from the United Kingdoms government as the military regime is trying to nullify the results of the 1990 election result by planning to hold another election in 2010.

United Nations Security Council must take practical action on Burma in order to solve Burma crisis. We wanted to see actions rather than words. United Nations must press Burmese military regime to do geniune time-bound dialogue with the bench marks between democratic forces led by Aung San Suu Kyi and junta led by Senior General Than Shwe. United Nations got the obligation to implement 1990 elections results of Burma.
