Burma campaigners protest against Total and Daewoo companies [Netherlands]

Campaigners and Burma Pro-Democracy activists plan to stage a massive demonstration in Netherlands on October 14 to protest against the Total and Daewoo Company’s investments in Burma... "... [Total's] joint venture [with the Burmese government,] the Yadana gas project in southern Burma earns the military regime hundreds of millions of dollars every year. The protest is being launched to get Total Oil out of Burma", said a campaign statement. In cooperation with the Burmese Junta, South Korea's Daewoo, along with India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Videsh Ltd. (ONGC), is exploring gas fields off the coast of Arakan State in Western Burma.
