I
was watching my TV
In September 2007 when striking images of thousands of monks and nuns
demonstrating against the military dictatorship in Burma (Myanmar) came
on the news. Like many people, I watched the events unfold over the
next few weeks and I was outraged when the military brutally cracked
down on the protests. Thousands of people fled the country or went into
hiding, many monastaries were raided, and many people were arrested and
killed.
Watching all of this from half a world away, I wondered what I could do. I couldn't stop the military in Burma, but I felt it was important to bear witness to the events there and I wanted to help keep the spotlight on the situation.
So I wrote and recorded a song called "The Streets of Burma." I'm very proud that Amnesty International is using the song as part of it's campaign to free U Gambira, one of the monks who was imprisoned following the protests.
Hundreds of people have signed postcards at my concerts urging the Myanmar government to release U Gambira, and the song has been featured on radio and TV in the last few months. Let us hope that with our help, the people of Burma can someday live in peace and security.
Thanks for your support,
Eve
