Burma Action Items

Canada's Oracle OUT-OF-BURMA!

postcard campaign by
Project Maje
maje@hevanet.com

Continuing our campaign to convince petroleum companies to withdraw from Burma by contacting members of their boards of directors, this week (March 3, 2002) we write to Mr. Nasim Tyab, President and board member of Oracle Energy Corp., a Canadian company.
(You can also write if it's past March 3!)

Oracle Energy has recently been invited by Burma's regime to "survey development potential of oil/gas fields." This could lead to Oracle Energy (whose only present exploration is in Yemen) investing with the regime. This week (the week of March 3) please send a note to Mr. Tyab pointing out the negative aspects of dealing with Burma's junta.

Sample note:

Dear Mr. Tyab,

I hope that you will not pursure any further business dealings with the brutal regime of Burma. This junta holds power illegitimately, oppresses ethnic groups including Christians and Muslims, and uses forced labor on a huge scale.

The regime is involved in the world's largest heroin trade. Engaging in energy business ventures with that bloodthirsty dictatorship does not help the people of Burma, it only prolongs and increase their agony. Energy companies including Amoco, ARCO, Kirkland, Texaco, and Baker Hughes have withdrawn from Burma after many difficulties, and Unocal is tied up in lawsuits from its involvement.

Please stop doing business with Burma's heroin thugs!

Sincerely,

Please ask your friends, family and colleagues to send notes to Mr.Tyab as well. If you are having meetings or gatherings, ask people to write to Oracle Energy.
