If you haven’t noticed, where have you been? A mass movement in favour of democracy in a country ruled by a military junta for the best part of half a century is on the brink. Whether it will be crushed with guns and batons or march on to victory, it’s far too early to say.

None of us can have a real effect, but signing this petition will, at least, register your support for those risking their lives for what they believe – something I doubt many people reading this will ever have had to do.

(Hat tip Rachel, who has more details, and Abdul-Rahim for the reminder in what’s been a long and busy day…)
