Protest against the Salween Dam in Japan
On 28 February, 2007 joint activists from around the world stand up in solidarity with Burma's victims of severe and systematic human rights violations and environmental destruction in Burma to protest against the Slween Dam Plans. The activists in a number of cities, including Washington, DC, Sydney, New Delhi, Essen, Paris, New York City, Hanoi, Jakarta, Tokyo, Melbourne, Auckland, and Manila, gathered in front of Thai embassies/consulates, demonstrated against the Slween Dam Project and submitted a petition demanding the current Thai administration withdraw from the Salween Dam plans to build large dams on Southeast Asia’s last longest remaining free flowing river in an area already suffering the problems of civil war.
The protests in Tokyo was held in front of the Tai Royal Embassy and participated by a number of 70 activist groups including SND, NLD (Liberated areas), LBD, DBA, LA and People’s Forum on Burma. A petition with signatures of 356 individuals from different groups and 81 Japanese people in support of the campaign was handed over to the Thai Embassy. Speeches from the representatives of each group were entertained in the demonstration. The protest ended peacefully after about 60 minutes.
