Burmese activist leaders are being rounded up day by day. At least one has died in custody and others are missing. When journalists have visited Buddhist monasteries they are virtually empty, except for children.
The oppressive regime has also gathered up thousands of monks and either put them in prison or forced them to leave the country. The media tend to move on to the next crisis, but we need to pray that countries that uphold freedom will continue to ask difficult questions and pressure the junta to release prisoners.
Here is an article from the BBC news service that may be illuminating. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7041203.stm
