Another protest notification for interested readers:

Tomorrow, Friday the 5th October at 10 am, The Democracy Federation of Thailand joining with The United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship will be gathering to protest in front of the Burmese Embassy in Bangkok, condemning the violence that has claimed lives, including the life of a journalist and demanding intervention with Burmese military to end violent attacks on the peaceful demonstrations.

    The Burma government response to these protests illustrate what happens when a government exists only for the purpose of maintaining their own power rather than for the good of the people.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
