Happy Birthday Khun Htun Oo (September 11)

Americans are mourning for those who sacrificed their lives on Sep 11. My heart is with all the friends and families of victims.
On this special day, Shan people from Burma are also mourning for the detention of their leader, Khun Htun Oo, who was sentenced to 93 years' imprisonment by Burmese military government in Feb 2005. He was born on Sep 11, 1943. He is celebrating his birthday alone in jail. He was unfairly treated and detained in prison due to his peaceful activities to bring human rights & democracy in Burma. Unlike people from America, Shan people could not even mourn in public..they can be tortured or arrested even by holding a peaceful prayer service for Khun Htun Oo.  


Khun Tun Oo is serving a 93 year of sentence in jail with poor medical condition at this time

My head is bowed to show respect to those who have been sacrificing their lives for others. May all human beings stop conducting hate crimes to each other all over the world.
