Birmania

There is a military rule since many years ago, now the Buddhists Monks have begun to make manifestations because the price of the transport and the food has raised a lot. They have the high moral prestige. And the military government has answered with repression. They have killed to many manifestants and have detained some hundreds of people.

At the beginning of the manifestations some monks protested and the military beat them, so the other monk manifestated in mass. The images that have recorded with mobiles and cameras, have helped everybody to know what is happening.
