On September 23, PEN will join with the Open Society Institute’s Burma Project to stage a reading featuring suppressed and silenced voices from Burma/Myanmar.

PEN Members will read in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the 1988 popular uprising demanding democracy in Burma, as well as the first anniversary of last year's monks' protests. The event will also feature a conversation with George Packer and the Venerable U Gawsita, leader of the 2007 Monks’ Uprising.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the International Burmese Monks Organization (IBMO), the largest network of Burmese Buddhist monks distributing relief aid to the victims of Cyclone Nargis.
