More information
Burma Action Ireland was set up in May 1996 to raise awareness of the current situation in Burma and the repressive nature of the ruling regime, currently named the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC). It is composed of individuals involved in development, human rights and justice issues. The association is non-party political, non-denominational and committed to non-violent means. It does not take policy positions on issues unrelated to Burma. We campaign for democracy and human rights in Burma and for the immediate initiation of dialogue between the ruling SPDC, the National League for Democracy (NLD) and the leaders of the ethnic nationalities which would lead to a new constitution, democratic government and the ending of internal conflicts. We work towards the release of all political prisoners of conscience and full respect for human rights, the safe return of all refugees to their homes with international protection. Our work includes lobbying for positive change in Burma, campaigns, petitions signings, the publication of the BAI newsletter and hosting Burmese visitors in Ireland.
