I'm so exhausted. I had to work at 7 a.m. this morning and shortly after getting off I went with my parents to Pagat. The sun was blazing, but it was the intensity of the situation that really set us on fire. How did we allow it to get this far? What kind of world are we living in where the beacon of democracy is about to take one of the nation's 11 most endangered historical sites and use it as a firing range? This is so unthinkable, I can't even believe that we have to protest to protect Pagat.
Here is some media coverage on it:
I'm off to get some rest. I have to work at 7 again tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to put down in words what I'm feeling and also more details and links about the community action that took place today.
Before I forget, thank you! Thank you to everyone who made it out and thank you to those who couldn't, but still have Pagat in their hearts and thoughts. And a big thank you to all the volunteers and the police officers.
That is a very impressive turnout and a clear sign that there is an much opposition. The protest is the visible top of a much larger pyramid.
