Mass Imprisonment of Burmese Monks
4,000 Buddhist monks are being held in an unused race course and a technical college following country-wide pro-democracy protests last week. The ruling Junta military party have largely returned the country to its economic flow, but the military is everywhere stopping people to make sure they aren't trying to smuggle out pictures to foreign press. Internet access is down, and outside news agencies are being warned against as "assassins on air". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7022437.stm
