Free Burma
The country of Burma is lush, rich in natural resources and home to dozens of peoples and cultures. But due to a military government of isolationist economic mismanagement, the 45 million people there live without their human rights and in extreme poverty. The country of Burma has been under military dictatorship since 1962. Free Burma is a slogan, a hope, a certain number of web pages, and, until the people there are free and self-governing... the only one there is.
