that i have. done that my pen writes i just said things like when it's in dates. in the case of minutes it's poetry that is united the community. more than one hundred fifty thousand people get together each year at the international poetry festival admitting he demonstrates to the entire world that in a country so drained by war. that shows tooth humanity world's problems are one that's suffering is every war. also lives in the world.

stand up to the west and begin to say that all countries for the sex is the legacy of mass destruction but the time has come for us to remember our values to put right all our wrongs to celebrate our humanity and truly live the belief that each of us is the same person as all of us. the one. whom i see don't let you use only one hand nothing happens but with thousands of hands things will change. why did i protest at all people are scrounging for work without any freedom they are repressed and arrested by the government. of the. garden the

military trucks smash the kates and entered the monastery they beat up everyone and the story everything they tied up the monks they kicked anyone who looked out. for you know that they made the monks crawl to the trucks they beat them from behind until they vomited blood. regardless of our lives we protested we protest for freedom. it's obvious that what the regime is doing is very unjust getting students and monks in jail as political prisoners. downtown how do or monks were and continue to be tortured in. military dictatorships never care about the people. of. the way they control and subjugate with fear of the uk tell me i'm

a teacher. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah. one hundred thousand. dollars you as monks we don't take up arms and neck we don't start revolutions and you know no more. any kind of political situation would not benefit from armed revolution. with an ongoing i would say that the protest was unsuccessful because many were killed. but

in the past no one knew that the dictator tortured bait and arrested people meet up a little more like we are but we are newbies and in my youth in the old i did with all. will be on the suffering revolution showed the world the cruelty of his regime the volume of i'm not in need to know yes obviously this is one tangible victory. the notion of what we do as people all around the world have huge consequences. to the extraordinary global mobilizations of february fifteenth two thousand and three when the world said no to war there were somewhere between twelve and fourteen million people in the streets that get all with the same slogan the world

pentagon playing own ego dives stuff comes up with a great comic book. and so we're trying to realistically as possible presents this world as it could be so people can see what it's like. you start to work towards the middle we have to push to make things actually out. there. the strike you're out there demonstrating you go sit in the car some of those officers if they don't do what you want if you do all kinds of things to make sure things are changing and the best outcome would be because. it needs to be different. and that should be because the. people refuse. to listen.

to the we need to do is call the facts of the take our lead not from a political party or a politician. let's take our lead some people struggle cross the floor we have chastity to say no. we must raise our boeing says smoothly and the only thing left is to fight to fight to fight let's cut. sleep.
