Action Alert
ODA (Japan)
Stop granting Burmese military junta

Japan has quietly approved the largest grant aid package since Burma's ruling
generals cracked down on pro-democracy demonstrations in 1988. However, Ethnic

withdraw their decision in giving the grant to Burmese military regime for
revamping the aging hydroelectric dam project.

Please send your appeal to both Foreign and Finance Ministers of Japan through
