Free Burma
Since 1962, Burma has been under the control of SLORC (State Law and Order Restoration Council), a military dictatorship which confiscated all the farmland and forced the former owners to labor for free on 'self reliance' projects which finacially benefit the military. Those who don't cooperate are subject to heavy fines, rape, torture, and death, and even those who do are constantly on the verge of starvation. SLORC's ultimate act of arrogance came in 1990, when they refused to abide by the results of the Burmese general elections and instead put the pro-democracy winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, in prison. Many multi-national corporations still do business with the SLORC, despite worldwide condemnation and boycotts of their products...
