Thomas H. Andrews: “Burma is now being controlled by a ruthless brutal illegal military junta.”

Just yesterday, a 7-year-old girl was shot and killed by Burmese security forces.

This is the single largest source of revenue flowing into the hands of these criminals. So I think it is critical that we cut it off.

The people of Burma need to know that the people of the United States and the world are with them not only in word but in deed.

It is my sincere hope that the United States and the international community will rise to the occasion of this historic moment.
