Armed Riot Police Move Against Pro-Democracy Demonstrators In Burma

The Times of London reports, “Armed riot police reportedly moved into central Rangoon today in an escalation of tensions in Burma’s largest city where Buddhist monks have been leading mass demonstrations against the military Government.”

“The protests began with prayers and peaceful marches carried out by a few hundred Buddhist monks demanding an end to human rights violations, it has spiralled into a mass movement, dubbed the Saffron Revolution, calling for the end of the brutal military regime.”
