PS. Human Rights blogger of the humanrightstools community (and anyone else who might be interested of course) - see the post below!

I found this link on a friend's site and thought I'd post it here for you to sign. You might have already heard of it or signed it (Good!) but here's what the petition will adress in their goal to reach 1 million signatures by Saturday.

"Dear friends,

Today, our petition to China and the UN Security Council to stop the brutal crackdown on peaceful Burmese protesters is being delivered to the world in a full page ad in the Financial Times worldwide -- but the ad was rejected by other newspapers like the South China Morning Post and the Singapore Straits Times. Our message is an invitation to China to do the right thing in Burma, not an attack -- yet even that seemed too much for media that fear Chinese reprisals.

We won't let our voice be silenced like this. We're taking our message to the streets, in an international day of action on Saturday -- details are on our petition page, and below. And we're redoubling our efforts to make our voice louder: our petition is approaching 600,000 signatures, closing fast on our 1 million goal."
