The 62nd Anniversary of Burma’s Union Day falls on the auspicious day of 12.02.2009. Union Day is the day on which father of modern Independent Burma, Bogyoke Aung San, got all the ethnic nationalities of Burma into solidarity to form together a strong union. But the current Military regime has destroyed all history of relation and cooperation among the ethnics.

So, to call British government to take tougher actions on Burmese military regime to stop their persecution on ethnic people of Burma, the exile branch in UK of Burma’s main pro-democracy party National League for Democracy (NLD-LA-UK) on the 62nd Union Day, in association with other pro-democracy and ethnic organizations, held demonstrations in front of British Foreign & Commonwealth Office in London.
