Mizzima News had to go through two very difficult days and it would not have been possible to overcome it without the timely actions and generous support of organizations and individuals around the world.

Press freedom groups such as the South East Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA),International Freedom of Expression eXchange (IFEX), Reporters without Borders (RSF), Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Burma Media Association (BMA), International Media Support (IMS), Burma News International (BNI) and the International Press Institute (IPI) have supported us when we were in dire need of solidarity. We thank each and every one of them for their immediate actions in writing to the Indian authorities to reopen our office.

Mizzima also acknowledges the contribution of various individuals and organizations from Burma's democracy movement and Burma Support Groups around the world for their immediate and constant emails and telephone calls which poured in to express solidarity with Mizizma. And for the follow up actions they have taken with their own parliamentarians and governments especially in the Netherlands and Australia.

We also thank the friends from Indian media, especially from North East India, for their unstinted support to us.

Our special thanks go out to the Burmese community living in New Delhi, who protested outside the office of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi today.

And last but not the least we thank our readers who stood by us and wrote to us in the last two days.

We appreciate that the Indian authorities, especially the MCD, finally decided to allow us to work again.
