Burma is still waiting by risa
Lies are unsurprising from the crazy dictators who seem to be in charge in Burma, but despite their distortion and their hunt for all cameras and cellphones inside, the truth keeps leaking out and we know the people trapped inside this nightmare are still waiting for the world to help them…
There were many arrested but we cannot say how many … thousands of monks and activists have been detained,’ said one. The activist said many had been taken to the Government Technical Institute, north of the airport in Rangoon, which has been converted into a detention centre. Others have been rounded up at the old racecourse, which is also serving as a makeshift prison.
‘By day and night they are raiding monasteries. They blockaded some monasteries and sent troops to monitor them. Many students have disappeared too. They have put them in detention centres because the prisons are full after so many arrests,’ the activist said.
Demonstrations that began in mid-August over a fuel price increase swelled into Burma’s largest anti-government protests in 19 years, inspired largely by thousands of monks who poured into the streets.
TV images in the past week showed soldiers shooting into crowds of unarmed protesters. The government described the troops’ reaction as ’systematically controlling’ the protesters.
