Dear John

Around 170 people, including at least 40 children, were killed in an airstrike by the Burmese military on 11^th April.

Local villagers were celebrating the establishment of local government services in an area of Burma freed from the control of the Burmese military. It was not a military target.

First jets bombed them, then helicopters opened fire.

This is the worst airstrike yet by the Burmese military. Airstrikes now happen almost every day.

People in Burma have been calling for sanctions to stop the supply of aviation fuel to Burma.

If the jets can’t fly, they can’t bomb.

The military has taken jet fuel imports intended for civilian use, so only a complete ban on the supply of aviation fuel to Burma can help stop the airstrikes.

We have to try everything we can to make it harder for the Burmese military to access aviation fuel.

Research by Amnesty International revealed that five British companies are insuring the shipping vessels which deliver aviation fuel to Burma. If tankers can’t get the insurance to deliver aviation fuel to Burma, they can’t deliver it.

Please write to these companies now calling on them not to provide insurance to ships delivering aviation fuel to Burma. You can email them here. ([link removed])

The companies are: UK P&I, Steamship Mutual, Britannia P&I, North Standard, Shipowners Club.

Email these companies now calling on them to stop insuring aviation fuel to Burma. ([link removed])
Thank you for your support.

Just some of the devastation caused by the Burmese military airstrike on 11^th April, which killed around 170 people, including at least 40 children. Most of the pictures we were sent are too graphic to share.
