Many many Italian bloggers looking at you and spreading the news. Some of them decided to stop blogging tomorrow for solidarity.
Many of them colored their blog in red and put images of your people.
Dear Ko Htike,
My prayers are with you and your people. The kind of bravery that you and your people show are unknown to me and most citizens in this world. Please let us know how can we help.

The people of the United States are in solidarity with the people of Burma. We admire the courage of the monks and the people to resist this oppressive government.

Dear Ko Htike
I live in Thailand near Burma but i saw a little news about Burmar in main Thai News.
Your blog that help me to know more news about the protest.
Ko Htike,
Resist Resist Resist. The world supports you! Never give up, Bruma!
If there is anything we could to to help you, let us know!
Viviane from Brazil, but living in Montreal.
What is the point giving mere moral support while unarmed Burmese are shot and killed? This is the time to ACT. Send money, arms and wireless sets to the Burmese democracy activists and prepare them for a guerrilla war. The Burmese Army will not understand any other language other than bullets and bombs. Burmese democracy activists must launch guerrilla warfare against the Burmese Army and the whole world should send them money, arms and all help. This is the only practical solution. Whoever can afford it can travel to Chittagong port in Bangladesh from where arms can be reached to the Burmese democracy activists. Burmese activists can also be very easily contacted in NEW DELHI. If this opportunity is lost, it may not come again for a long long time and the barbaric Burmese Army will simply butcher unarmed Burmese. The time to act is NOW!!!!!!! There won't be any point acting after the barbaric Burmese Army has already shot everyone. Better do something tangible instead of merely comments on blogs. And do it FAST!!!!!! Time is running out...
Thank you for putting out this information, keep it up the word is spreading!

Hang in there Ko Htike!
We've been hearing some terrible and crazy stuff out here. Do you know if its true the army is fighting each other in Mandalay? there are also reports an abbot and 200 monks were massacred in a monastery.
There are protests going on in front of Burmese Embassies all over the world today. There are more tomorrow. We will keep trying to put pressure on our governments to do something.
Stay as safe as you can please. We are all thinking of you.
Pretty scary stuff man :(
Ko Htike,
Thank you so much for this service you are performing for the people of Burma and the world. My prayers are with you, the Burmese people, and Aung San Suu Kyi.

Dear Ko Hitke,
Those of us who fight despotic regimes have so much in common with each other. As an Iranian who opposes the theocracy in Iran I am 100% with your people. Your victory will be our victory and your defeat will be ours.
Long live freedom!
I have been following these news stories all week. I am praying for you and the people of Myanmar.
Don't give up. Stay strong. Fight for what you believe in and for your freedom.
Dawn

You have our prayers and support from the USA. This is what a real thirst for freedom & democracy looks like.
The bravery of those sending you pictures should be commended. Without their risk to life the rest of the world would never know what is really happening.
I can not imagine what your people are going through. I have the up most respect for people who are willing to die for their freedom ( the value of free thought and action being higher then that of life). You and your people deserve to be free. The government is meant to serve the people, not itself. The best of luck to you and your people. Is there anything we can do to help?

Seven (Beginning) Principles of Buddhist Activism
By Diana Winston
Former Associate Director, Buddhist Peace Fellowship
What distinguishes Buddhist activism from other kinds of activism?
1. Setting Motivation
Our political actions can be dedicated to the benefit and awakening of all beings. Holding this,
the action itself moves beyond mere do-gooding or fighting so-called oppression and into the
realm of dharma practice.
2. Interbeing
First, we see alive and present in our own minds the same external structures of greed, hatred,
and delusion that we are fighting against. we bow to them. Then we realize there is no "other" to
fight against anyway.
3. Not Knowing
Our job as activists is to learn to hold the multiple questions that arise in our work. We don't
have to have the answer; we want to be present with whatever is coming up. Maybe we are
wrong.
4. Opening to Suffering
Through our meditation practice, we learn to be present in the face of suffering. We take this
skill out into the world and don't turn away as we face all levels of injustice.
5. Knowing Equanimity
Can we bring equanimity to all of our actions? Can we act without being attached to the result of
our actions? Can we recognize the impossible nature of our tasks and act anyway?
6. Being Peace
Beyond ideological differences, there is a place we can, as Buddhist activists, stand together: our
commitment to be in ourselves that which we are trying to bring about in the world.
7. Mindfulness in Action
The non-distracted state of mindful awareness must accompany and underlie Buddhist activists
in our work to change the world. It is the fundamental nature of our being. There is no separation.
Excerpted and reworked from "Intersection Point: Buddhist Activism at the WTO" by Diana Winston, Turning
Wheel, Spring 2000
Please contniue to send blog information. We are undertaking a massive effort to keep the Internet lines open. In Thailand they are trying to establish wireless networks and aim them into Burma.
Is there any way to help?
I've been to Burma in January. My heart is broken.
I know what you're going through as I'm a Romanian and I experienced dictatorship. (the bloody Romanian revolution in '89).
Solidarity is the solution!
I hope Burma will be a free country soon.
Thank you!

I do not know how to express my feelings. But in one word, I feel courageous people like you can make the world a better place. I am watching your blog and my best wishes are with you.
The word is that convicted criminals have been released by the thousands and driven to the cities to wreak havoc with the monks and protesters. I never knew they could go that low.
Dear Ko Htike,
our thoughts, with you. freedom and democracy always win at the end, keep believing, and fighting for a free Burma
andreas , athens, greece.
Thank for your blog. Citizens of Burma, keep doing what you are doing. Just don't let these cruel generals wear your will. The rest of the world is with you. I am from Nepal and we went through something similar to this in 1990 and again last year.
Dear Ko Htike,
Our prayers are with you, I am from Mizoram, a neighbouring state in India, Wish you all the best!
Keep up the fight. What you're doing is important and incredibly brave. My thoughts are with you and the people of Burma.

The Myanmar embassy is located INSIDE the apartment building in which I live in Canada. Only a 30 second elevator ride from my door.
Is there anything I can do TODAY to help protest on your behalf and against ongoing human rights violations?
Is there any message you would like me to print and forward, a letter of protest I can submit? Any peaceful protest action I can take on your behalf that may help you?
Please tell us what I as an outraged Canadian citizen can do.
Thank you
CNN has announced that The USA is holding the bank accounts of 14 senior members of Myanmar's government so that they cannot get the money that they have stored here in their USA bank accounts.
Also, the US Government has put some travel restrictions on the miltary junta people so that they are going to have difficulty traveling.
Ko Htike,
Your protests have had impact in the US. Though we can't be physically with you, we are with you in spirit.

Announcement from AP (Associated Press): British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he believes the loss of life in Myanmar has been "far greater" than is being reported.
Stay safe Ko Htike, and keep up the good work. Many thanks for keeping us informed, and for your bravery. Best of luck to you. You all have my admiration for doing something that most of the rest of us out here in this silly world right now don't have the guts to do. Bless you.

This is truly outrageous. Kinda like Jem. Respect.
Ko,
As a young US Marine in 1988 I was part of Marine infantry battalion that was called to Burma to evacuate foreign nationals from the various embassies in Rangoon.
I remember the panic and fear the Burmese people faced during 8888 and myself and my fellow Marines were frustrated for not getting the call to go into Rangoon and assist.
Hopefully the bloodshed will end soon and hopefully the people of Burma will someday soon be free once more.
Keep the faith.

"We just got phone call with our sister living in Yangon about a few hours ago.
We saw on BBC world, saying that 200 monks were arrested. The true picture is far worse!!!!!!!!!
For one instance, the monastery at an obscure neighborhood of Yangon, called Ngwe Kyar Yan (on Wei-za-yan-tar Road, Yangon) had been raided early this morning.
A troop of lone-tein (riot police comprised of paid thugs) protected by the military trucks, raided the monastery with 200 studying monks. They systematically ordered all the monks to line up and banged and crushed each one's head against the brick wall of the monastery. One by one, the peaceful, non resisting monks, fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Then, they tore off the red robes and threw them all in the military trucks (like rice bags) and took the bodies away.
The head monk of the monastery, was tied up in the middle of the monastery, tortured , bludgeoned, and later died the same day, today. Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the monastery, warded off by troops with bayoneted rifles, unable to help their helpless monks being slaughtered inside the monastery. Their every try to forge ahead was met with the bayonets.
When all is done, only 10 out of 200 remained alive, hiding in the monastery. Blood stained everywhere on the walls and floors of the monastery.
Please tell your audience of the full extent of the fate of the monks please please !!!!!!!!!!!!
'Arrested' is not enough expression. They have been bludgeoned to death !!!!!!"

I was born in Burma. My heart aches when I see the suffering of the poor and yet brave people and the monks, and the victims at the hands of the brutal military junta. They are so inhumane to treat their own people like this. Like one of the US senators said yesterday, they (the heads of the military) will be held responsible and will be trialed in the international court.
We are with you!

RIP for that Japanese journalist.
Burmese monks are denying dictatorship, but Thai monks are denying an award-winning picture about bad monks.
What a contrast!
By the way, I hope your fight will end in the better way, winning will be with yours. I believe and hope that.
Dear Mr. Htike:
the people in my country is following very closely whats going on in Burma. It is on all front pages of several newspapers, and in the local tv news. It is important to us since we had a terrible dictatorship, and we are just recovering from that pain.
Best luck to Burma. Let us know how can we help.
Gerardor from Uruguay (south america)
A government should be there FOR its people NOT AGAINST it! Keep up the fight! I admire your bravery! One should use all means possible to spread the word, make people aware and get them to act! Lets hope the word spreads fast enough to make politicians act! Where is the US gov. now? and where are all those who supported Iraq, regretted Rwanda and so many others? Maybe pressuring China with another 'civil society war' against the Beijing Olympics will get them to act like they did in Sudan - it may seem little but is something!!! Pressure your governments!
Free Burma!

Ko Htike,
If we had internet back 1976, many sad things could have been avoided, or stopped earlier, in Argentina, among them, probably, the senseless Falkland-Malvinas war of 1982. In the name of the free people of the world and in the name of those that wish they were free, thank you for donating your time and effort to expose the brutality of Myanmar's dictature.
You can all help by letting people in Burma use your home PC as an anonmyous proxy. Even though the internet has been shut down there for now, other people (perhaps in China) may have information on the situation and they need uncensored access to the web.
There is a tool written by human rights advocates that lets people in repressed countries access the web through your connection. See http://psiphon.civisec.org/ for info, and offer your help if you can.
I am volunteering to set up a Psiphon server myself. If anyone has contacts who need an uncensored web connection to share information about Burma, please email me at buffer02@comcast.net.
I wish there was something that we could do besides offer our moral support on a blog. I believe the true power to act lies in hands of our leaders. It is they who decide whether the efforts and suffering of these heroes is in vain. Specifically China. Even a government as repressive as China can't ignore this travesty. Hu Jintao must act or face shame and boycott at his precious Olympic Games.
my thoughts and prayers are with you and the people of your country. the world is watching.
Abby in Pennsylvania
Ko Htike,
You and many, many others -- monks and civilians -- are extraordinarly courageous. The thugs protecting the junta and oppressing and killing the people of myanmar are the worst of humanity. I wish more could be done now to help bring an end to the death and oppression at the hands of the junta.

Dear Ko Htike and all the people in Burma
I truly admire your struggle for freedom and democratic rights, and I'm surprised that even after many years of the military reingning the will to achieve a democratic system still not died!
Many have asked what they could do from where they live. Do this: http://web.amnesty.org/pages/mmr-270907-action-eng

Dear Ko Htike !
UPDATE
since I posted my last comment a few hours ago asking about what I can do to help, I have decided to take action in my own community in Canada.
The Myanmar embassy is located INSIDE my building here in Canada.
I have just distributed 100 flyers to all of the residents in my building telling them what they can do to protest and together we are DEMANDING action from the Myanmar government.
I want to tell you that right now, as I write this, people coming home from work, getting their flyers out of their mailboxes and are taking action by sending a message to the Myanmar government mailbox stating that they are outraged by what is happening and that they are watching, with you and the rest of the world.
This is not much but at least you know I and other people in my building are with you in solidarity...
you ARE making a difference and inspiring others to try to make a difference.
As Canadian citizens we join the entire world in acting as witnesses to the coming actions of the government of Myanmar now and in the future.
The world is watching. Today people all over the world have worn red shirts to support all of you who fight for freedom.
Charlotta
I have been watching the events in Buma unfolding in the last week through the internet, and have admire you and the brave people of Burma for your struggle. I can't imagine how hard it must be for people in Burma, and feel sad that the only way to help you is writing letters to my government and party colleagues here from my safe desk in Germany.
As so many other people from so many countries said:
We are with you. This tragedy does not go unseen. Resist, resist, resist.
The best wishes and all my support,

Some one, please ask people to colect any evidence like hair, clothings,flip flops, blood (with plastic bag) and even some part of the brain, anything they think is the injured or dead people's and keep them safe so that later they can be traced back. They will be come some crucial DNA evidence. Also a respect for a fellow human beings if they were dead and body cunningly destroyed, especially for our martyrs.

Have you heard anything about the reported coup? This is from a UK source:
"Military sources in Rangoon are claiming that the regime's number two, General Maung Aye (right), has staged a coup against Than Shwe, and that his troops are now guarding Aung San Suu Kyi's home. A meeting between him and Suu Kyi is expected. Maung Aye is army commander-in-chief and a renowned pragmatist."
My heart and the hearts of millions if not billions hold the steadfast believe that this junta must be stopped and peace and justice reign over Burma.
And as for that gracious man who was shown dead on this blog, we need to make sure he is never forgotten and his cost was not in vain....bless you young soul.
American and the world is watching and waiting...but we must take action to bring about a peaceful end.
Please visit my blog for photos of the peace protest in San Francisco today.

# Also seen: evidence of forced relocation of villagers, military buildup
We are praying for you all. I personally wish I could do more.

We are reading, praying and hoping all this ends soon. By staying strong we'll get what we want and that is FREEDOM. Even if the internet has been cut off, keep the pictures. Lots of love going your way you are a very courageous person.

Hi Ko,
I suggest that if you can get in touch with anyone inside Burma, you might suggest if they have collected information (text, images, video, etc.) they either save it to a flash memory stick, or burn it onto a CD ROM and then either hand it to a tourist or get it to one of the Western embassies, who probably have their own independent internet uplinks.
The Burmese military need to know that this isn't 1988 anymore. They can't erase reality at the flick of a switch or hide their awful behaviour. The world knows what they are doing and condemn them for it.

Hi, I admire what you have done in your apartment for the Burmese people. I am sure I live in the same city as you, and I know the apartment building at Range Road where the Burmese embassy is situated.
In order to get wider publicity and to plan for any further action in solidarity with the Burmese people, I would suggest that you use the Newsgroups such as Ott.general, Ott.news, Ott.Events. This way, you might be able to mobilize much larger numbers of participants.
Good luck.

I commend you for putting the truth out here. Shame on the Burmese government for their actions. Our hopes, thoughts, and prayers are with you. Persevere, your efforts are so valuable!

These soldiers have no respect to Sangha!!! How could they shoot and beat those people with no weapon? Aren't they afraid of karma?
Hopefully your country will get democracy and peace. May Buddha be with you.

Ko Htike,
Thank you for keeping the rest of the world informed and for exposing this brutal dictatorship. Your country is in my prayers.
Greetings from DC
I am a great admirer of what you are doing. You are standing up for the same rights that people in my country take for granted. I am in awe of your dedication to help change the leadership in your country and educate people on the real horror and injustice taking place as it happens.
I don't know if you've found it yet, but Reporters Sans Frontiers has a guide to covert blogging at http://www.rsf.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=542
Be safe, we're praying for you and the people of Burma.
I can't describe my anger in words. I am with you people of Burma. Bear up and drive the greedy murderer ot of your country or better kill them!

Oil companies TOTAL (France) and
CHEVRON (USA) have been doing business with the military juncta for the past 10 yrs and have been pouring millions into the bloody hands of generals. If there's something we can do from Europe and the Usa is put those companies to shame.
Free burma Now.

The world is with you and support your struggle for human rights and freedom.
Best of luck in these difficult time.
Stay safe.
You are doing a good thing, and a noble thing. You are the voice of the people who are there right now, cut off from the rest of the world. God bless you.
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo - I offer my prayers for peace and an end to the death. AND TO CHANGE as a result.
Thank you for your courage, communications, & beauty in this world of chaos. I want peace and would like to help in any way I can. Thanks for sharing the info about the prison and helping us, in the US understand what's going on over there.
Peace doesn't come from the gov't but from people's hearts changing the gov'ts of the world.
Let's raise our voices, just as our friends in Burma have bravely sent us images and news. Unite
Ko htike,
There is little solace in saying that I will pray for you and your country, I know. But, In times of crisis people like you rise to record and alert the world to the horrors that are occurring thousands of miles away. You are at this moment my HERO. Don't back down. The world is with you.
Good wordspreading! A very scary situation.
Hang in there people of Burma, most everybody in the world is behind you 100%.
Bush slammed the corrupt UN and the evil rulers of Myanmar in his UN speech earlier this week.
If the USA went in, they would get everybody screaming in protest.
The UN must do something, but they never use military force to fight.
That is a huge problem.
The UN rarely does anything to stop a disaster or genocide. Look at Rwanda. They just come in later and act all concerned.
Illegal drug fortunes are at the heart of this.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe wants
complete narco states
criminals in power
loving the corrupt drug war
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
shoot peaceful protesters
calling for democracy
which you must never allow
.
Ko Htike,
You are a star.
We are very proud of you.
There will be a march in London tomorrow.
All Burmese here are with our people.

Dear Ko Hkite
I saw the pictures and couldn't stop tearing...
I'm Korean, and we had the similar history that the citizens fought against the dictatorship in Gwanjoo in 1980.. Thousands of Koreans were killed by the military government at that time.
But people never give up here, and finally the people won.
Cheer up. You people are doing the right thing.
If it is OK with you, I'd like to post the pictures on my blog (http://blog.daum.net/crazycatj), so more Koreans can see what's going on there.
Plz remember, u'r not alone... we are here for you.
Best of the best luck to you and ur country...
Jimyo

Can't find my posting. Try again to send love and support from Far North Queensland in Australia. Bravery from monks and people of Burma is inspiring. Praying that things will change for the better.Wish I knew how to help more. Congratulations, stay strong and be proud of your amazing efforts.
Is there any more mention of the events from the post from (28 September 2007 19:17)? There isn't much info on the MSM about this.
Thanks for all that you do and I hope that peace will come soon. We are with you in the Pacific North West.
