Disturbed by reports of government brutality against Buddhist priests and the general populace in Myanmar, students gathered on the Quad for a candlelight vigil on October 16. “The only thing we can do now is to show our witness and be in touch with our government leaders and insist they keep this issue alive,” said Joshua Rubenstein, regional director of Amnesty International, who addressed the gathering, as reported in the Heights. The Ignatian Society, the Center for Human Rights and International Justice, the Boston College Buddhism Club, and Amnesty International organized the vigil to raise awareness of the plight of citizens in the southeast Asian nation.
