From the Picnic conference organizers:
"Dear Picnic friends,
- - May all the People around the World wear a Red Shirt on Friday September 28th - -
As you may know, yesterday the Myanmar (Burmese) government started shooting and killing monks and civilians that were protesting in the streets of Yangon and Mandalay.
This Friday there is an international protest and support action for the people of Myanmar. Many people will wear RED to show their support. We too.
At 13:00 hours we’ll gather in the main conference room (extraction hall west) for a short meeting in support of the Myanmar people. All other picnic activities will be paused at that moment.
For those of you who do not have a red garment to wear, we’ll provide RED T-shirts at cost (€5) at the entrance of the hall all morning,
Please forward this message to your friends.
