             New York Action 
 
 To all of Burmese Democratic friends,
 
                    We, New Yorkers, Democratic Burmese students, and all 
 activist groups joined together in front of Asia Society and demonstrated
 against Win Aung's talk. We started our demo at from 8 am: to 10 30 am: We
 chanted slogans (with loudspeaker) as follows:
                             Win Aung(One) -liar!(all)
                             Win Aung- get out!
                             Win Aung -go home!
                             Win Aung -murder!
                             Win Aung- Killer!
                             Win Aung -Stupid!
                             Win Aung -Butcher!
              Shame Shame Shame on you 
              Shame Shame Shame on you
              Free Free Free Burma 
              Free Free Free Burma
              Free Free Free Burma
 
                We support CRPP
                Convene parliament now
                 Free Burma now
                 Release political prisoners now
                 Release Min Ko Naing Now 
                 Release Rachel Goldwyn
                 Release James Mawdsley
                 
                 NLD is forcing! Our struggle is growing!
                 People are demanding, Democracy is coming!
                 Dictatorship is running away! Democracy is coming today!
                  People power! People power! People power!
 
       And also we hand out flyers and statements from 
                          1. Civil Society for Burma statement (Burma and the 
 year 2000 millennium)
                          2.  Free Burma Coalition's flyer (Imagine waking up 
 in a country where.....)
                          3. Burmese Students' volunteer Association's flyer 
- 
 Win Aung Go Home, stop lying and  What the international press says about 
 Burma (The Headlines )
                           4. What is happening at the Asia Society? flyer 
 
          And about 9:30 am, When Win Aung and his colleagues came out from 
 the Asia society, all Burmese activists pointed their finger to his face
 because when they saw a filthy liar, they cannot control their temper and
 suddenly shouted at him with so many strong words in Burmese.  Win Aung was
 so scared and his face was very red when he quickly slipped into his car.
 All his body guards were smiling and laughing at first but their face
 changed when we scold their boss.  They got their lesson that we are in
 America and we can express what ever we want infront of them..  
 
 Regards,
 Ko Zaw Win
