Protesters march in London organised by the Burma Campaign UK in 2007

Burma Campaign UK (BCUK; Burmese: ဘားမားကမ်ပိန်း ယူကေ) founded in 1991 is a London-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) that aims to achieve the restoration of basic human rights and democracy in Burma (also known as Myanmar). BCUK campaigns on behalf of the Burmese pro-democracy movement and is the largest campaigning organisation for Burma in Europe. The Financial Times has called it "a leading human rights pressure group".[citation needed]

It does this by:

  • Raising public awareness of issues in Burma
  • Increasing international pressure on the UK government, the European Union, the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the United Nations to take action in any way.
  • Helping to co-ordinate and build Burma campaign groups elsewhere, creating a global movement for democracy in Burma
  • Providing support and training to Burmese exile organisations and individuals, empowering those who have fled the regime to educate others and raise awareness of the suffering in Burma

It has two directors, Anna Roberts and Mark Farmaner. Patrons include Glenys Kinnock, Baroness Helena Kennedy, Maureen Lipman, Roger Lyons, Clive James, Sinéad Cusack and Lord Steel. The organisation is funded by public donations. Burma Campaign UK receives no government funding.[citation needed]
