Czech Republic gives two million crowns to victims of Burmese junta

The Czech Republic has donated 2 million CZK (100,000 USD) in financial aid to victims of the Burmese military junta. The funds have been donated to the Thailand Burma Border Consortium, which works with Burmese refugees. The Czech Foreign Ministry made the announcement on Friday, having previously spoken out against the Burmese government's use of force to break up pro-democracy demonstrations late last month.
