THE GOAL OF THIS PUBLICATION is to introduce the general reading public to
the methods of strategic nonviolent political struggle and to document examples from
a country which endures military rule. The use of active nonviolence is generally only
known, vaguely, through human rights reports, when they report on the extraordinarily
long prison sentences activists receive when captured. Exactly what means the activists
employ, and why they are confident that it will make a difference, and their continued
acts of resistance within the prison system, are not generally known.
