Thanks to radio, you can tell the people of Burma you're with them

Radio Netherlands is doing something amazing:

Every day we broadcast via Short Wave into Myanmar, also known as Burma, and that means our independent news is getting through.

Our frequencies, transmitted from Irkutsk in Siberia, Madagascar and
other sites, have not been jammed and for three hours a day we offer an
alternative to the military junta's propaganda. Internet may be down
but via Short Wave we can punch a hole in the information stranglehold.

Pro-democracy dissidents are having their say and we've broadcast the
comments of world leaders telling the military junta to stop its
attacks.

You can have your say too

Let us know what you think of the push for democracy as people in Myanmar/Burma confront the military dictators.

We'll publish your comments here on our Internet page. Please include
your phone number too so we can call you back to record your comments
as we prepare a special 'Shout via Short Wave' programme.

Let your voice be heard.

I've left a message - I hope you'll add your voice as well!
