• Monks are dying for starvation.

Monks who started the protests two
weeks ago in Burma, are now held in their monasteries, kept at close
watch by the repression of the army.

The militia prevent the population from
providing food to them, while stopping all the exits of the
monasteries they lock them in.

Monks are dying for starvation.

• Updated news for Sept. 30th
  quote that 2 thousands monks have been arrested and temples are
  object of though raids. Troops cleared up several monasteries,
  sending monks and nuns in temporary detentions. Hours ago, another
  huge monastery, Pauksawdi, has been raided in a state of siege in
  Mayangon

Monks are in Momauk, Mansi or Insen's
prisons, places where Aung San Suukyi was held, years ago.

• Bloodsheds on the streets - Many
  bodies are cremated by the army. Agencies quote: 200 dead people in
  cemeteries.

In Mandalay and Yanchaung, big protests
go on, they are led by monks and students - There are thousands on
the streets. While in Rangoon 20 thousands military agents give an
apparent, sinister calm to the capital, but, underlying, much tension
is in the air.

• Tomorrow a general strike will be
  held in Rangoon – Students, trade unions, monks (still free) and
  anti-government activists, secretly are gathering people under the
  slogan:”Come to the streets and scream your anger!”.

In Rangoon, tomorrow, will be
another challenge.

“Many of today's world leaders have
great courage: the courage to do harm.

They are ill-advised, too clever, or
too skilful.

I think bad political systems, by which
I mean systems that are not founded on a desire for justice, are
mainly due to a type of short-sightedness.

When politicians see things only in the
short term, they inevitably only see the short-term gains.

That is how they develop the type of
courage that is necessary to harm others.”
