RE: should the buddist monks of burma be nominated for a mobile peace prize ?

the reason that I brought the other thread up is because of Gillys input on there - it shows he doesnt think of it as a joking matter

RE: should the buddist monks of burma be nominated for a mobile peace prize ?

Gilly is very aware of the situation and I really dont think he intended this thread as any kind of joke whatsoever - he has a heart

RE: should the buddist monks of burma be nominated for a mobile peace prize ?

there were thousands killed in 1988 and this is beginning to look like a repeat

Monks arrested, tear gassed at Myanmar pagoda:

the latest news i could find just now is from monday as the authorities have closed most avenues of communication;

From the BBC

Thousands of monks detained in Burma's main city of Rangoon will be sent to prisons in the far north of the country, sources have told the BBC.
About 4,000 monks have been rounded up in the past week as the military government has tried to stamp out pro-democracy protests.

They are being held at a disused race course and a technical college.

Sources from a government-sponsored militia said they would soon be moved away from Rangoon.

The monks have been disrobed and shackled, the sources told BBC radio's Burmese service. There are reports that the monks are refusing to eat.

The country has seen almost two weeks of sustained popular unrest, in the most serious challenge to the military leadership for more than two decades.

Their eyes are on the international community, their only hope is that the world will see their plight and help them


The authorities said 10 people were killed as the protests were dispersed, though diplomats and activists say the number of dead was many times higher.

The banned opposition broadcaster Democratic Voice of Burma has issued a picture which they say shows the body of a monk floating near the mouth of the Rangoon river.

Last week several monasteries were raided, and there were reports of monks being beaten and killed.

With many monks behind bars, the demonstrations have now died down.

On Monday, the centre of Rangoon was almost back to normal, a reporter, who cannot be identified for security reasons, told the BBC.

Most shops and temples have reopened and people appear to be getting on with their lives. But there seemed to be a group of soldiers around every corner, and very few monks about, the reporter said.

This is notable in a city where monks can usually be spotted going in and out of temples, shopping at street stalls and chatting in tea shops.

The atmosphere in Rangoon is tense, the reporter said. Local people are well aware that the monks have been locked away and are afraid that they will be next.

The crackdown, in which unarmed protesters were beaten, tear-gassed, and shot at, has attracted condemnation from abroad, and even from Burma's neighbours in the Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean).

I loved some of the victorian romances. Have you read any of Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Thomas Hardy, Samuel Butler, Charles Kingsley - brilliant all. - as soon as I get chance I will have a look at the Boston school - its good to find somebody interested in this stuff but its years ago now since I read them
I moved on to science fantasy after the victorian novel
