Followed by the security police in Rangoon

All the demonstrators did was to ask for better living conditions for
the Burmese people. In return they got jailed. Happily the nine
arrested were released again today. But the episode reminds me of my
own humble experience of being trailed by two Burmese police men on a
motor bike through the streets of Rangoon.

I agree: The story could be worked even more on, and I might do that later. What I published on NowPublic, was the lead to a longer piece on Asia Observer (http//www.asiaobserver.com), my website and a portal to Asia.

And the situation in Burma IS complicated with numerous conflicting interests playing out in the struggle for power. What you observer as a visitor is one perspective, but certainly not the only one. I will get back later with more on this.
