Burma
Travel Warning
The following Warden
Message was released by U.S. Embassy Rangoon on September 28, 2007:
This warden message is to alert U.S. citizens traveling to and residing in
Burma of the ongoing large demonstrations in Rangoon, Mandalay, and other
cities. The Burmese Government has officially informed the Embassy that the
curfew in Rangoon is in effect every day from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., and
has stated it will be enforced. We strongly recommend that all American
citizens avoid travel during curfew hours. U.S. citizens should defer
non-essential travel to Burma at this time. American citizens resident in
Burma should avoid all demonstrations and processions as they could turn
violent with little or no warning, as has happened recently. On September
27, a Japanese journalist was shot and killed in the Sule Pagoda downtown
area during a demonstration. The Embassy advises U.S. citizens not to
photograph and film the military and police because doing so could be
interpreted as provocative.

The scale of
demonstrations by monks and Burmese citizen supporters in Rangoon, Mandalay,
and other cities has grown and become more overtly political. Authorities
have shot and in some instances killed demonstrators, have used gunfire and
tear gas against them, have begun to restrict their movements, and have
imposed a curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. The Burmese Government has
banned gatherings of more than five people. The situation remains fluid and
an even harsher military reaction could occur at any time, particularly if
the protests continue.
We wish to remind U.S. citizens that even demonstrations intended to be
peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence, as
has happened recently. U.S. citizens are therefore urged to avoid areas of
demonstrations and to exercise caution within the vicinity of any
demonstrations. U.S. citizens should defer non-essential travel to Burma at
this time. Given the fluidity of the current situation, the Department of
State advises all U.S. citizens in Burma to monitor events closely, to
exercise discretion when moving about, and to avoid any large public
gatherings, any visible military presence, and any area cordoned off by
security forces.
