Some of Burma's Protesters are Burned Alive

In the city of Yangon, the Junta Government forces have set up a crematorium where they have been disposing of the bodies of protesters and also using it to kill the severely injured prisoners taken in the recent anti-regime demonstrations.
Pro-government marches are being demanded of Burmese citizens after the recent uprising. Every family in the country is expected to send one or two people to participate and show public support for the Junta government. Refusal to march could result in a fine and up to 3 months in prison.
The Junta continue to persecute the Buddhist monks whom they claim are acting against Buddha. The state has only admitted they are holding 135 monks and 78 civilians, while other sources project 6,000 people detained with hundreds of casualties.
