Report this post to the editors

The largest protests in twenty years in Burma have seen a reported 10,000 bare foot monks march today as part of a crowd estimated at up to 20,000 people. Some of the monks had greeted Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the pacifist Nobel Peace laureate and house-arrested leader of the Burmese democracy movement at the gates of our prison-home at 54 University Avenue, Bahan 11201
Yangon, Myanmar (Burma) Saturday.

In contrast today "the Hindu News" based in neighbouring India reports "A crowd of about 400 people led by monks peacefully gave up their attempt after being turned back at two different approaches, where police had placed barbed wire barricades". But everyone knows where that house-prison is.............

.........."The only real prison is fear, and
the only real freedom is freedom from fear." : Aung San Suu Kyi

Sometime they may just come together that way...

Sometime they may just come together that way...

As these pacifist protests enter their seventh day, monks are calling on the "lay" public to join them & increasingly that support is becoming evident.
