[PDF] Leber Jeweler press release on Burma

Leber Jeweler Inc. expresses our heartfelt support for the people of Burma in their time of need. Cyclone Nargis…is only the latest catastrophe to confront this desperately troubled nation…Since 1962 this nation has suffered under the rule of brutal dictatorships that have committed a long list of human rights abuses…They continue to use the revenue from the sale of natural gas, timber, and gemstones to fund their reign of terror...Leber Jeweler Inc. remains firmly committed to supporting the Block Burmese JADE Act. This bill will prohibit the importation of gemstones from Burma…In addition, we will continue our work through the Jewelers’ Burma Relief Project to assist the people of Burma by helping to raise awareness of this humanitarian tragedy.
