'Thousands of monks seized' by Burma junta
Stories are starting to come out and, unfortunately, my earlier post and this one seem to be accurate.
Via Telegraph News.
Thousands of monks, who played a leading role in pro-democracy demonstrations last week, have been disrobed and shackled by Burma's military junta and will be moved to prisons hundreds of miles from Rangoon, it was reported last night.

Free Burma!
International Bloggers' Day for Burma on the 4th of October
International bloggers are preparing an action to support the peaceful revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and show our sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime without weapons. These Bloggers are planning to refrain from posting to their blogs on October 4 and just put up one Banner then, underlined with the words „Free Burma!“.

I may have to make my own banner.
Burma is a colonialist name. Myanmar is the correct name for the country and the one the people there prefer.
But this is a good idea and I'll have to put it on my calendar.
