On August 8, 2008, Athein will present the following petition to the offices of the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, and the UN Security Council. As the Burmese military junta is preparing to consolidate its power through a new constitution and referendum, it is essential that the international community and the United Nations act to protect the lives and liberty of the Burmese.
