After 20 long years, elections are approaching in Myanmar:
Get involved by trying Amnesty International's handy Voter Guide
The right to vote and to practice freedom of expression, association and assembly are not shared equally by people around the world.
Before the end of this year, citizens of Myanmar will get their first chance to vote in 20 years.
Help Amnesty International raise awareness about human rights in Myanmar by playing your part in this critical election: try our voter guide, then please pass it around and encourage your friends to take action on behalf of political prisoners in Myanmar.
Amnesty International continues to call on Myanmar to respect the universal rights to freedom of expression, freedom of association and freedom of assembly.
<< TRY THE VOTER GUIDE THEN SIGN AMNESTY'S PETITION ON AUNG SAN SUU KYI

08-08-88 -
Yesterday (Sunday August 8th) marked the anniversary of a violent crackdown against protesters in Myanmar
On August 8, 1988, pro-democracy uprisings in Myanmar led to violence that shocked the world: More than 3,000 civilians were killed, as Myanmar's military government clamped down on protesters.
Two years later, an election was finally called and Aung San Suu Kyi won in a landslide - but she and many of her supporters were detained, and she remains under house arrest 20 years later.
Join us on the anniversary of the Myanmar uprising by calling for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and more than 2,200 political prisoners who are wrongfully detained in Myanmar.
