What we see is just the opposite.Abuse of Press FreedomArakkan in Burma was once a Buddhist Kingdom.It is no longer in the hands of Buddhists today.To protest and defend Buddhist rights and territory in Burma is now called a violation of human rights.When will Sri Lanka's turn come for our Buddhists to raise the Barricades?Buddhists Must Wake Up before it is too late!</blockquote>
