Burma – how desperate can a regime become?

Among the lates news coming out from Burma, is this video of the deliberate shooting of a Japanese journalist. It’s quite clear from this video, that he didn’t just catch accidental fire, but was shot coldbloodedly:

But this film is by no means the strongest document when it comes to showing the desperate regime’s brutality. The Burma digest is filled with pictures that you should opt out of watching, if you are too sensitive to handle the truth in full color. I almost didn’t.

Since their overlord Chinese authorities has warned Burmese junta not to shoot directly at demonstrators, Burmese soldiers in Rangoon are now using a new tactic; soldiers shooting over the heads of demonstrators, thugs chasing after running demonstrators and beating them with iron rods and wooden clubs, and then injured demonstrators are taken away to detention centres by riot police without giving them any medical treatment.

The above statement is accompnied by a picture of a brain spilled in the gutter, which in turn has been taken from the Burmese site myanmarmuslim.net.

I find it hard to see in what way I can do my part in helping out, but one way is to keep watching, and not look away.
