The 75th birthday of Burma Senior General Than Shwe will fall on the 2nd February 2008 and the celebration is being organized by Lanna Action for Burma (LAB) on the 1st of February, 2008 to wish him an ‘Un-happy Bad Day’, from 10:30 to 11:30 at Chiang Mai University’s Social Science Building 4.
“Today, thousands of Burma supporters all over the world are holding events against Than Shwe” and this event is “to make sure Than Shwe has an Unhappy Bad Day, rather than a Happy Birthday”, wrote the leaflet released by LAB.
LAB encourages supporters to sing “Unhappy Bad Day”, sign petition to ask Thai government to withdraw Thai support for Than Shwe, send Bad Day wishes to Than Shwe and support democracy in Burma.
A previous campaign event organized by LAB last year was in December named “Panty Power Campaign” where participants were urged to throw women panties or send them to their nearest Burmese embassies around the world. It is believed that Burma’s generals hold a superstitious belief that their power can be removed through contact with articles used by women below the navel.
