Edmonton (Canada) Burma group. "We are a group of people, including Canadians and Burmese, who sympathize with and have concern for people suffering inside Burma. In 1989, we founded Burma Watch International, a society for human rights, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Our objectives are: To develop among our members a recognition of the importance of human rights in the Union of Burma. To promote public awareness of the social, cultural, political and economic life of the people in Burma. To promote and provide humanitarian assistance to those in need, especially refugees. In order to achieve our objectives we are willing to work closely with all organizations and individuals who share our goals of democratic reforms and human rights in Burma..."
