Burmese Days
September 24th, 2007 by Michelle
The Burmese government has begun threatening violence against the tens of thousands of protesters who are marching in the streets of Rangoon and other cities. The above photograph from Asia Pacific shows the pacifist army of monks who are leading the protests against the junta. Some 3,000 were killed in similar protests in Burma in 1988. A year later, the Chinese government massacred student protesters in Tiananmen Square.
