<\/p>\n

For one instance, the monastery at an obscure neighborhood of<\/b>
Yangon, called Ngwe Kyar Yan (on Wei-za-yan-tar Road, Yangon) had<\/b>
been raided early this morning.<\/b><\/p>\n

A troop of lone-tein (riot police comprised of paid thugs)<\/b>
protected<\/b> by the military trucks, raided the monastery with 200 studying<\/b>
monks. They systematically ordered all the monks to line up and<\/b>
banged and crushed each one’s head against the brick wall of the<\/b>
monastery. One by one, the peaceful, non resisting monks, fell to<\/b>
the ground, screaming in pain. Then, they tore off the red robes<\/b>
and threw them all in the military trucks (like rice bags) and took<\/b>
the bodies away.<\/b><\/p>\n

The head monk of the monastery, was tied up in the middle of the<\/b>
monastery, tortured , bludgeoned, and later died the same day,<\/b>
today. Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the monastery,<\/b>
warded off by troops with bayoneted rifles, unable to help their<\/b>
helpless monks being slaughtered inside the monastery. Their every<\/b>
try to forge ahead was met with the bayonets.<\/b><\/p>\n

When all is done, only 10 out of 200 remained alive, hiding in the<\/b>
monastery. Blood stained everywhere on the walls and floors of the<\/b>
monastery.<\/b><\/p>\n

Please tell your audience of the full extent of the fate of the<\/b>
monks please please !!!!!!!!!!!!<\/b><\/p>\n

‘Arrested’ is not enough expression. They have been bludgeoned to<\/b>
death !!!!!!<\/b><\/p>\n
