Part 2: U Gawsita, Saffron Revolution

A year ago the monks of Burma led half a million people in peaceful protests around the country, proclaiming to the military regime that peace and freedom must be finally restored to the people. The generals' response to the non-violent calls was extremely brutal; hundreds were killed, thousands imprisoned, many monasteries raided, and many people are still missing. U Gawsita was one of the leaders of the Saffron Revolution. He speaks about what happened and what he wants the world to do.

China says it's Burma's "domestic issue". Gross human right violation is not domestic issue, but it's international issue. Wake up China! Stop being big brother to the junta.
