Walking 3000 miles from Portland to New York to Deliver Freedom and Liberty of Burma
Freedom and Liberty of Burma
View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition
To: United Nations
To: His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon
Secretary-General of the United Nations
New York, New York 10017
CC: Representatives of the United Nations Security Council
In 2007, monks and civilians took to Burma's streets demanding change, and were met with violence and intimidation. Thousands of monks have been arrested, tortured, or 'disappeared' by the ruling military junta. On August 8, 2008, China will celebrate the opening ceremony of the Beijing olympics - 20 years to the day that the Burmese military gunned down over 3,000 peaceful protesters in streets of Burma. As a symbol of peace and cooperation, it is ironic that the olympics will begin on such a tragic anniversary, when the people of Burma have had no chance to participate in the peaceful development enjoyed by China and other nations of the world.
An estimated 650,000 people have been displaced in Burma and 3,000 villages have been destroyed by the government. The military junta routinely commits human rights abuses such as forced labor, forced recruitment of child soldiers, land confiscations, and rape as a weapon of war. Ethnic minorities are targeted for assimilation and violence.
Burma has one of the world's largest militaries, but this force is only used against its own people. Still, Burma's neighbors continue to sell the SPDC weapons that perpetuate this violence, and continue to push development projects that will result in further human rights abuses. As the junta is preparing to consolidate its power through a new constitution and referendum that has been widely denounced by opposition groups, it is imperative that action be taken immediately to enact true democratic progress and national reconciliation in Burma.
We call on the SPDC to take the following steps:
1. Allow freedom of speech and respect the human rights of all Burma's citizens.
2. Release all political prisoners.
3. Cease fighting with ethnic minority groups along the border as well as all aggressive military activities in current ceasefire areas.
4. Transition to a civilian government and the democratically elected parties of the 1990 elections.
We urge the United Nations Security Council and all member countries of the United Nations to take the following steps to protect the people of Burma:
1. Impose a universal arms embargo on the Burmese military junta.
2. Impose sanctions on the financial transactions of Burma's ruling military elite.
3. Recognize the genocide being committed against Burma's ethnic minorities and take all necessary steps to save the lives of targeted civilians.
4. Hold the ruling military generals accountable for their crimes against humanity.
We are calling on the members of the United Nations to make peaceful political change and reconciliation in Burma a priority, and to take all necessary steps to protect the people of Burma from the oppression and violence of the military junta.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

Barefoot walk to London
Dear friends,
It is now over seven months since I shaved my head and began walking barefoot in the wake of the brutal suppression of Burma’s saffron revolution.
It has been a truly amazing and enriching experience for me, from the first few months when everybody wanted to know what was happening and I received daily messages from well wishers, to now, when for me and almost everybody else, it has taken on a sense of normality.
As the weather improves walking barefoot is much easier but I have been wondering about the validity of the action. The winter weather drew attention to my bare feet, prompting questions from strangers that often led to amazing conversations, thus achieving my aim of highlighting the situation in Burma. In addition I found that the experience of walking daily on frozen ground connected me to the suffering of the people whose plight had motivated me. This led to many reflections on suffering and became an important part of the journey I was on. Without the cold weather these things are diminished.
Of course, the situation in Burma is more desperate than ever in the wake of cyclone Nargis. The military Junta is once again demonstrating almost total disregard for the wellbeing of the people. By refusing to allow aid organisations to operate within the country a natural disaster is turning into a humanitarian catastrophe.
Once again I find myself struggling for an appropriate response. It seems wrong that as my life is returning to normal the lives of those I’m attempting to stand beside have been thrown into further turmoil. For some time now I have been considering a pilgrimage that will allow me to reflect on the events of the past months and the current situation has strengthened my resolve for this.
It is my intention to walk to London during the school summer holiday. I hope that whatever attention my walk receives will allow me to continue raising awareness of the plight of the Burmese people. Specifically I’d like to draw attention to the conditions endured by the Internally Displaced People (IDPs). Even before the cyclone there were over one million IDPs forced from their homes by the regime’s army. They live without security, with limited food, and little or no access to education or health services. It is possible that cyclone Nargis has displaced a further 1.5 million people.
Partners Relief and Development are one of the many NGOs working within Burma to bring relief to the IDPs. They help to establish temporary camps where the IDPs can access medical care and education. They have a campaign called “5 Alive” that aims to raise money so that a family of five can be provided with the 5 things most crucial to survival as an IDP. These are the five things that I will carry with me as I walk and they are:
Rice and Salt
A cooking pot
A lighter
A machete (which I will substitute for my penknife)
A tarpaulin for making a roof in the jungle
One of the most positive elements of my experience has been the extent to which the vast majority of people I’ve met have appreciated my act of solidarity. It has been warming to encounter so many caring and compassionate individuals especially as I was acting out of despair about the cruelty in the world. It is my hope that my walk will allow me to continue to experience and to highlight the kindness of strangers. I do not intend to carry money on my journey. I am confident that I can survive on what I carry with me but it is my conviction that this will not be necessary.
As I make my way down the country I hope to visit as many religious & spiritual sites & active Burma campaign groups as time and leg power allow, seeking nourishment through learning about the perspectives and actions of others. I hope also to collect signatures on a petition (exact wording still to be decided) that will eventually be delivered to the government on my arrival in London. There will also be an online version in the near future.
At the present time my route is not fixed although I am sure that I will head down the east coast. If anyone has suggestions of places / people that I should visit I’d gladly receive them and this may well help to clarify my route.
Once I’ve begun my journey on the 25th of June there will be a number of ways that you can support me. Should anyone like to join me for a part of the journey I will be glad of the company. Offers of a night’s accommodation or a lunch not based on rice will also be gratefully received.
Alternatively you could make an online donation (I do not wish to handle money) to the Burma Educational Scholarship Trust. I will be starting a Justgiving page shortly and will keep you updated.
I hope to arrive in London around the 8th of August – the twentieth anniversary of the 1988 massacre in Burma that ended the last uprising against the Junta.
Thank you for reading and in anticipation of your support,
Much Love,

Petition to the UK Government
We the undersigned believe that the anniversary of the 1988 massacre that ended the uprising in Burma that year should not go unmarked by the British government.
Twenty years ago the people of Burma, led primarily by students, demonstrated peacefully against their military rulers asking for freedom and democracy. Their struggle continues to this day and conditions within the country are arguably worse than ever. Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy remains under house arrest where she has been for over thirteen years.
We are concerned that the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, which occurs on the anniversary of the massacre, should not be allowed to completely overshadow this important day. It is being marked with unanimous cross-party support at Edinburgh City Chambers by a gala performance of “The Burma Play” supported by Burma Educational Scholarship Trust, Amnesty Scotland, Unison and the Cooperative Bank.
Gordon Brown has, on several occasions, expressed admiration for Aung San Suu Kyi and support for the aims of her party, the National League for Democracy.
We believe that the Prime Minister should officially mark the massacre that took place on the 8th of August 1988, and outline how his government is fulfilling its stated commitment to the democracy process in Burma, in a statement released on the anniversary date.

Two men walking for peace, freedom

Pair going cross-county to raise awareness of human rights violations in Burma; headed to United Nations
By Jill Gosche, jgosche@advertiser-tribune.com
POSTED: June 19, 2008
Athein walks eastbound on US 224 Wednesday evening. He and his friend are making a 3,000-mile trip from Oregon to New York to spread a message about freedom and peace.
With each footstep, Athein and Zaw Min Htwe are spreading a message of freedom and peace.
Athein, a 34-year-old who originally is from Burma, said he and his 27-year-old friend are raising awareness about genocide, torture and other human rights violations in his homeland.
“This is a terrible situation,” he said about Burma’s conditions. “We want peace and freedom.”
Athein said he started walking March 1 from Portland, Ore., and plans to arrive at the United Nations Security Council Aug. 8, the 20th anniversary of violence in Burma. He said he wants peacekeeping intervention.
“If it doesn’t work (in New York), I will walk to Washington, D.C.,” he said.
Athein said he was 14 years old in 1988, when the war in Burma began. He said he lived in the jungle from 1988 to 1997, and his brother and sister died in the war.
He relocated to Thailand before arriving in the United States in 2001, and left behind his wife and three children to make the trip across the U.S.
Athein and Zaw Min Htwe are walking at least 30 miles a day as they head toward the United Nations. Wednesday evening, their travels led them to the Tiffin area.
Athein said he had crossed seven states and walked about 2,500 of the trip’s 3,000 miles as of Wednesday evening. He was walking eastbound on US 224 as Zaw Min Htwe looked for a hotel room for the night.
Athein carried the U.S. flag and a flag bearing a peacock, which he said is a symbol of democracy and freedom.
A Web site documenting the men’s journey contains a letter they wrote to the secretary-general of the United Nations.
“We urgently send this petition to you from Iowa because of the critical situations currently going on in Burma. As you are aware, people in Burma under the military regime have been losing democracy and human rights for twenty years,” they wrote.
They also wrote, “On behalf of the people of Burma, we urge you to push the Security Council to immediately make a strong resolution in order to save the people in Burma from various troubles that they are sadly experiencing now and to stop the inhuman acts of the military regime.”

GILBOA - Athein and Zaw Min Htwe have been making a more than 3,000-mile trek across the U.S. since March 1.
The pair are walking across Ohio, raising awareness about the current politcal situation in Burma.
The activists want to make it to New York in time for the United Nations Community Council on Aug. 8.
Aug. 8 Marks 20 years to the day when the Burmese military gunned down more than 3,000 peaceful protesters in the streets of Burma.
Burmese pilgrims cross the USA
On trek to U.N. to protest abuses by Myanmar junta
By Angela Mapes Turner , The Journal Gazette 
Wherever Athein and Zaw Min Htwe stop on their cross-country trek, two flags announce their arrival.
That red-and-white striped one, with a field of 50 stars over blue? No explanation necessary.
The second flag – a yellow peacock on a blood-red background, running toward a white star – leaves many Americans stumped.
“Some people say, ‘Oh, it’s a turkey,’ ” said Athein, 35, as he unfurled the flag Thursday morning at Fort Wayne’s Triangle Park. “Some say, ‘You a Communist, or what?’ ”
Not even close. Burmese refugees Athein and Zaw Min Htwe, 27, are pro-democracy protesters who wear military camouflage but carry a message of peaceful protest.
They quit their jobs and embarked from Portland, Ore., on March 1 to raise awareness of human rights abuses in their homeland, hoping to reach New York City and the United Nations by Aug. 8. The date marks the 20th anniversary of Myanmar’s most famous pro-democracy uprising, in which Athein participated.
The men set out Thursday morning for Ohio, joined by a small group of local supporters who planned to walk a leg with them.
Raising awareness of abuses and hand delivering letters of protest to the United Nations were the trip’s original purposes. Just two months into their trip, Cyclone Nargis made landfall and added new urgency to the mission.
The cyclone caused 78,000 deaths and left 56,000 missing, according to Myanmar’s military government, which drew new criticism by at first refusing aid. The U.N., which estimates that more than 1 million storm survivors still need aid, said Thursday it has received less than half the money it needs.
Athein’s three daughters – an 8-year-old born in a refugee camp in Thailand and 6- and 1-year-olds born in the U.S. – don’t understand why he’s walking across the country. They may never see their parents’ homeland except in pictures.
But they understand him when he says he’s trying to help people, Athein said.
The men’s walk has taken them through snow in Oregon and driving rain in Nebraska. They stay with volunteers, try to walk 30 miles a day, shed a few pounds and carry petitions for supporters to sign along the journey.
May Shein, 40, a Fort Wayne factory worker who has been in the city a decade, showed up Thursday in a white T-shirt printed with a photo of imprisoned pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
May Shein still has family in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Her sister and two brothers lost their homes in the cyclone, she said.
For Min Min Htwe Nge, 33, the opportunity to walk a few miles in the name of democracy with two pilgrims was reason enough to show up Thursday morning.
“They’re heroes for me,” she said. “I cannot walk 3,000 miles.”

March for Peace
By WES KAPPELMANThe Oskaloosa Herald
Burmese activists spend night with Oskaloosa residents during 3,000-mile road march to New York.
Mary Patterson prepared a big breakfast on Thursday morning, but it was not because she and her husband, John, were particularly hungry.
John and Mary were also feeding Burmese activists before they continued their 30-mile per day march across to New York.
Athein, 36, and Zaw Min Htwe, 27, both originally from Burma — Burma is now known by the nation’s military government as Myanmar — left Portland, Ore., on March 1. Their goal is to reach New York City before Aug. 8 to raise awareness of human rights abuses in Burma and deliver letters in protest of the military government in Burma. They also plan to deliver a petition to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for actions by the U.N.
After detailing grievances with the military junta, the petition asks the U.N. Security Council to impose a universal arms embargo on the Burmese military junta, impose sanctions on the financial transactions of Burma’s ruling military, recognize that genocide is being committed against Burma’s ethnic minorities, take steps to save lives of civilians and hold the ruling generals accountable for crimes against humanity. The petition, which is on their Web site http://88portland.wordpress.com, has more than 1,100 signatures.
Athein, 36, is a student who protested the Burmese government during democracy demonstrations in August of 1988. Aug. 8 is an important date to Athein because it is the 20th anniversary of the day hundreds of thousands of Burmese protested the military government and called for democracy in Burma. According to the BBC’s Web site, human rights organizations had claimed that at least 3,000 people were killed in the 1988 protests in Burma. Aug. 8 is also the first day of the Olympic Games in China.
Athein said he left Burma in 1988 and lived in Thailand with Burmese students involved in the protests in 1988, eventually joining the All Burma Students Democratic Front. Min Htwe’s father was a member of the same student group.
In 2007, Athein and Min Htwe met in Portland, Ore., where Athein was demonstrating. Min Htwe, who had been visiting his parents decided to join in the demonstration.
Athein said his plan for a march began in 2003 after a military junta-inspired attack on Aung San Suukyi. The prominent figure for the opposition to the military junta and 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner has been mostly under house arrest since.
The beginning of the march in Portland was difficult, as Athein and Min Htwe had to battle subzero temperatures and strong winds. In the Cascade mountains, they faced a demoralizing snowstorm.
The two keep a 30-mile-a-day pace, with each walking 15 miles while the other drives behind. With 1,080 miles from Oskaloosa to New York City, Athein and Min Htwe should comfortably reach their goal.
The Pattersons met Athein and Min Htwe through Zaw Htut, 33, of Des Moines, and they met Htut a few years ago through an exchange student that had gone to William Penn University. Athein and Min Htwe had been staying with people in the Burmese community in Des Moines for a few days before continuing their march east.
From Indianola, the two marched through Knoxville to Oskaloosa, stopping to rest Wednesday evening with the Pattersons.
John said the two look like army rangers in their military uniforms. Athein wears desert fatigues and Min Htwe wears a similar military garb, but with woodland colors.
“I think they are pretty courageous,” Mary said.
People have donated from around the world to help Athein and Zaw during their trip, with strong support from the Burmese community. The next major stop for Athein and Min Htwe is with the Burmese people in Chicago.
3,000-mile mission: Peace in Burma
June 3, 2008,
By Erika Wurst ewurst@scn1.com
For two months and three days, he has walked.
From Oregon to Oswego, he's walked. Two flags perched on his shoulder: One, the American flag; the other, representing peace in his homeland, Burma.
Whether it's a 90-degree Chicago summer, or a snowy mountain he's forced to climb, Athein -- who goes by only one name -- will relentlessly endure it, because to him, he must.
He plans to reach New York by foot, petition in hand, to save the people in the country he fled seven years ago. The camouflage-clad 35-year-old father of three young girls walks through countrysides and city streets, more than 3,000 miles, spreading his story about the genocide, torture and the inconceivable living conditions he was lucky to escape. He walks for those who couldn't.
"They are in a very dangerous situation," Athein said of the people who live in the country now called Myanmar. "I showed a picture (of the tragic conditions) to my daughter. She said, 'Why do they kill the people, daddy?' and I could not explain."
Almost 400,000 people have been displaced from their homes in the eastern region of Burma, due to fighting between the Burmese military and members of the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army. Then recently almost 10,000 people were killed when a cyclone ripped though the Southeast Asian country, but the government refused to accept outside aid.
"This is a real story," he said. "Not Hollywood."
The petition in Athein's bag calls for "members of the United Nations to make peaceful political change and reconciliation in Burma a priority, and to take all necessary steps to protect the people of Burma from the oppression and violence of the military junta."
To date, his petition has been signed by thousands.
Athein will present the petition to members of the United Nations on Aug. 8, when he arrives in New York -- 20 years to the day that the Burmese military gunned down 3,000 demonstrators in the now infamous 8-8-88 (Aug. 8, 1988) protests that, as a young boy, he was a part of.
"I tell my daughter, 'Don't cry, this is for you,'" he said, sipping out of his water canteen after carefully walking across the median of the Route 30 bridge in Montgomery.
Cars honked, people waved, and drivers offered well-wishes as Athein and fellow activist Zaw Min Htwe, 27, walked along Oswego streets. Through their travels, they are fed, and sometimes sheltered (depending on the day) through the generosity of people -- all while keeping a 30-mile-a-day pace.
"Everything in my life, I give for peace and freedom," he said, including an extra 15 pounds he's lost along the way.
"You don't need to go to LA Fitness," Athein said with a giggle before he continued walking. "Just come on and follow me!"

Men Walk Across U.S.
Monday, May 26th 2008
Two men walking across the country stopped in the Quad Cities on Monday. Athein and Zaw Htwe are walking 3000 miles, for peace and freedom in Burma. They say they left Portland March 1st, and will arrive in New York in early August. They say they are collecting signatures for their cause, and want to talk to U-N leaders. "The military goverment arrest and torture people every day. So nobody knows. That's why we walking, awareness to people. Please help to get peace and freedom for Burma," said Zaw Htwe. Burma is also known as Myanmar. The country is still reeling from a major cyclone. That country's government says the storm killed 22,000 people. Independent organizations fear that number is closer to 100,000.

Today Athein and his team started from route 90/94 and walked through Chicago Downtown by Congress road. When they hit to Michigan Street they go North.
They were escorted by four Illinois state Police, two women and two men. When we reached Lessalle street we went north again and arrived to Erie Street around 1pm. we turn right on Erie and we saw a Chinese consulate on our left with Chinese Flag raising on the top.
There we met comrades from Fort Wayne Indiana. They were waiting for us. All of them around seven to eight . They brought placards and posters of ASSK and pictures of Cyclone victims and dead bodies. All together we were around 15-20 people including two white women.
Athein started to make three salutes. Athein give a speech about why he is doing this trip and thanks to people who came a support their long march especially from Fort Wayne , Indiana and people from Chicago.
We shouted slogans:
Free free free Burma!
China China killing Burma
boycott boycott china olympic
We burned Chinese flag and took photo of that moment
After 3pm we ended our demo and returned home.
