so that others may get their basic human rights?
and can speak without fear?

PARIS, Oct. 1 — Floating face down in a filthy pool of water, a tangled strip of saffron cloth – the distinctive garb a Buddhist monk – still clinging to his neck, the images are a gruesome reminder of the brutality of last week’s military crackdown on Burmese protesters.

The graphic video of what appears to be a dead monk was filmed Sunday in the Pazondaung area of the Burmese city of Rangoon, according to the Democratic Voice of Burma, an Oslo-based opposition group. It is not known when the monk died.

born into a democratic society, the freedoms of thoughts and expression as birthrights
we take our rights for granted, we will never know what life is like without…

there are some people on earth who can only dream of that freedom,
and are prepared to give up their lives to get their basic rights,
to have the voice; to have a say about life and nation.

We are born with our human rights,
and no one, nobody should be allowed to take it away from us.
