Demonstration in front of the SLORC embassy in Bonn

This is the first time in Germany that the school children went to 
the SLORC embassy street in Bonn and demonstrated against 
the ruling military dictators and drug-dealers of Burma, who recruited 
the fellow school children in Burma to army and to prostitution as well.
The school children, about 50 in number, stood in front of the SLORC 
embassy carrying several transparents " The children are misused here 
for war ", " Here is the recruiting place for child-soldiers ". The most 
spectacle of the day is that these school children are in uniform. 
The demonstration is organised and conducted by " terre des hommes " 
in cooperation with the Burma Bureau Germany. When asked by the 
journalists and reporters, Burma Bureau Chairman George Khan said, 
the youngest protestor in the demonstration is six month old, whose 
parents have fled to Germany recently due to the cruelty of the SLORC.
The demonstration of the school children aimed to commemorate the 
coming International Children Day, which falls on September 20.

The Burmese community and the Burma Bureau  in Germany expressed 
their gratitude to terre des hommes and the press for the news
transparency.
