In 1988, when students and monks were massacred in Myanmar, Universities were closed and the education system completed its deterioration. Burma regime infiltrates demonstrations to spark violence.
At least 4,000 or more monks have been arrested and questioned by government authorities in their recent crackdown on protests favoring democracy for the nation. It is reported that they are being held at the Government Technological Institute, the Kyaikkasan racing track and in a prison called Insein Prison.
From these locations, they will be transported to prisons located in the extreme northern part of Burma. The monks have not been allowed to wear their robes and are in shackles, and some of them have been beaten. Many have also initiated a hunger strike, refusing to eat.
The aftermath of a massacre of 12 villagers who were attempting to flee to Thailand after their villages were forcibly relocated by Burma’s military regime.
30-40 villagers had stopped to sleep for the night at two huts in the forest when the Burmese military came upon them, lined up in front of the hut, and opened fire.
Ten were killed immediately including children aged 2, 5, 7,14 and a dead pregnant woman.
Millions of Burmese people have been forced to leave their homes by the military regime; relatively few escape to refugee camps in Thailand.
The vast majority of the villagers eke out a living in the jungle, always on the run from the regime - the Junta!
What is a Junta?
A junta is a government run by committee that has taken the meaning of a military government. Different then a dictatorship, a junta is a collection of rulers, in the case of the Burmese, the military leaders.
Burma’s Gen. Than Shwe, has a history of war crimes and must be indicted for murdering his own people.Evil Burmese General Than Shwe, forbids dissent. He is afraid of the monks power and has now chosen to arrest, torture or kill them. He has also sent untold numbers to northern Burma slave labour camps.
The young generation was taught to accept and internalize the twisted histories and other lies fed to them in state run schools instead of being taught how to use their brains, how to think, and how to question.
The news and media surrounding them was always manipulated and controlled by the Junta. Myanmar is a country in which rumours fly as no where else
To be continued ...
