	Burmese Students in Australia protest against Tourism Film Night
	----------------------------------------------------------------

	On 24th April 1996, Burmese students from All Burma Students 
	Democratic Organisation (ABSDO) and Australian students from
	National Union of Students staged a strongly protest against
	Tourism Film Night organised by Travel Indo-China company under
	the name of Conncorde International Company.

	The company held the opening ceremony of Tourism Film Night and
	had a plan to show a film which intended to encourage Visit 
	Myanmar Year 96. At the time, Burmese and Australian students
	were distributing leaflets against Visit Myanmar Year 96 and
	shouting the slogans and holding the placards. "Boycott tourism....,
	Boycott Burma.........., Boycott Visit Myanmar Year 96.............
	and Free Burma, now.....Boycott....Boycott.....Boycott.............
	
	Students' protest was finished sucessfully after the director of 
	the company said that the Tourism Film Night have been cancelled.
	Students will be pushing the Tourism company to cancel any 
	further film nights which support Visit Myanmar Year 96 and
	any visit to Burma.
