At any demonstrations that you attend, please hand out “Free Burma, Boycott the Beijing Olympics” bumper stickers. They are easy to make at a local copy shop.

Please send emails complaining about China’s support for Burma's military junta, the SPDC, to the following addresses, using as the subject line “ticket order,” “ticket query,” “ticket request,” or “ticket information,” so they are not automatically deleted.

Dictator Watch has launched a new, related website: Activism 101. The goal of this initiative is to explain activism; to demystify it; to demonstrate that the transition to becoming an activist is not as intimidating as it might seem (it's easy); and through this to encourage more people to devote some of their time to working to help the world.

The A101 homepage also gives a concise description of Dictator Watch's seven point philosophy, which elaborates our deepest ideas, and ideals.

As part of the launch, the Activist Exchange and World Travel sections of the Dictator Watch website have been migrated to the new site, where they are a better fit. This leaves Dictator Watch slimmed down, lean and mean so to speak, to continue the battle against the manifold sources of dictatorship that exist around the world.

The mission of Dictator Watch is to keep track of the dictators of the world, and to see that they pay for their crimes. We seek the end of dictatorship, in all its manifestations, including in all our social institutions.

Our motto is: You Decide.

The boy in the above photo, who is a member of the Karen ethnic group from Eastern Burma, has had to flee for his life four times, including from a refugee camp that was attacked and burned. He found refuge with his people’s rebel army, and was on his way to becoming a child soldier, when he was discovered by representatives of a foreign non-governmental organization who were able to get him placed in a school. The dictator in his life is the Burmese military junta. For the tiger, of which only some five thousand survive in the wild, most of its habitat has been occupied by humans, which also actively hunt it. The dictators in its life are the individuals who have taken its land and who seek to kill it, and this actually extends to all of us, through our aggression towards, and disregard for the value and rights of, all other forms of life.

Dictator Watch stands against this. We will serve as a means of activism against the dictators in the modern world. Of course, the fight to eliminate dictatorship will be extremely difficult. The forces which support it have great resources at their disposal, and they are highly protective of their power over us. However, we are nothing if not ambitious. We have many approaches to try and ideas to implement. But we need your assistance in this fight - your personal activism - if we are to have any chance of success.
