Protest against the Thai government's plans with the Burmese military regime to dam the Salween River in Burma
Join us and gather outside your Thai embassy or consulate to call for the complete halt of the dam plans on the Salween River, where:
- Civil War is raging in the area around the dam sites and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced at gunpoint
- Dams are being used as a military strategy against the ethnic peoples of Burma
- Torture, rape, and killings of villagers are continuing as more soldiers are being deployed and more landmines laid
- Dams will provide financial support to the military junta
- Massive corruption is inevitable given the complete lack of transparency
- The dams will permanently degrade Southeast Asia's longest free flowing river's fisheries, floodplains, teak forests and wildlife habitats, and flood villages and fertile agricultural land
