"You see, ultimately the Burmese people will prevail. Neither systems, nor governments nor dictators are eternal, but the spirit of freedom is. We must continue to ask the question, whose side are we on? We cannot be neutral in the face of such barbarity. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said that in the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends. For those who know oppression, inaction is the most painful silence."
Archbishop Desmond Tutu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984.

    "Quite simply the best photographed and most important photo-stream on Flickr. Amazing, powerful and often heartbreaking yet empowering images.

    Should be viewed by every member... and given respect, looked at slowly to understand and feel the absolute struggle. Not to fall on blind eyes nor deaf ears. Stunning images all.

    Addition : More people should see the photos on this stream... such beautiful images and such heart and soul so beautifully portrayed. Important, relevant and urgent. If I have to implore, I implore - pay attention and devote some of your time to these works."
