Myanmar situation more dangerous, troops take charge of monasteries
Myanmar troops occupied Buddhist monasteries on Friday to confine monks who have spearheaded protests against decades of military rule, raising concerns they may be preparing to intensify a deadly crackdown on civilians.
Residents said the government also appears to have cut all access to the internet which has played a crucial role in telling the world about the pro-democracy protests.
Soldiers and riot police moved quickly to disperse a crowd of just 300 that started marching in the country’s largest city, Yangon, on Friday, sealing the neighborhood and ordering them to disperse.
