As I have said on several other pages tonight. I feel that now is the time for the rebel groups to show the world who the good guys are. The rebels should try to get food and supplies to the needy. They should help rebuild homes and fix broken bodies. THEY SHOULD CONTACT RELIEF AND AID GROUPS TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUPPLLIES TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE COUNTRY BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE. Win the hearts of the people and show the world how bad they really are. Protect the innocent and punish the guilty. Come on rocky m. now is your chance. I am praying for all of you. I know things seem to only be getting harder, but god has given the world a reason to look in your direction. Now you must capture it attention.

Comment from a Burmese in Yangon: When demonstrations against the military regine takes place, armed troops appear from no where within minutes — now, as the public and the monks labour with the clean-up of the aftermath, the military troops were slow in arriving and when they did, it was to sit and wait in their trucks for orders to act against the public should there be an unrest!

The Cyclone Nargis also hit Insein Prison in Rangoon. On Saturday morning at around 8 am
local time, the roof of the Insein prison building was ripped off by the cyclone and a fire broke
out in Hall No 1. The prisoners inside the cells called for help for hours, but prison authorities
failed to show up. Finally some young jail service men opened the doors to the cells. As
prisoners ran around in the prison compound, army soldiers
fired at least 30 gun shots at them from the top of the roof. At least thirty-six
prisoners were killed by the shots and 70 more injured. No political prisoners are among the
dead. All prisoners are in great need of health assistance, blankets and drinking water, and
political prisoners have made demands for these needs but prison authorities denied their
demands as well as aid delivery from family members who went to the prison today.
