Burma

The democratically elected government of Burma, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, had its leader imprisoned and many of its supporters beaten to death. The current regime's militia continue to hold over a thousand political prisoners, and to persecute, rape and murder ethnic minorities in Burma. This evil regime is supported by the investments of dozens of American and European companies, which are named on the Burma Campaign UK website.

Oxfam are campaigning against the human rights violations in sportswear factories in Burma and other South East Asian countries. As well as supporting this campaign, you can write to major sport brands about their manufacturing policies and demand they change the pitiful pay and conditions in their factories.
You can also email the government about Burma here.
