버마: 국가 테러 #1

9.26: Burma's junta started in the morning a massive crackdown (as it was to be expected). Just call it..

..STATE TERROR

Despite the junta's yesterday's threat (to smash current democracy movement in general and the street protests in particular) today once again thousands of people took the streets across Burma. Since the early morning, especially in the major towns such as Rongoon and Mandaley, police and miltary forces were in readiness to crackdown any demonstration. Finally, according to several underground sources in Burma, the "security forces" killed at least seven people (monks, nuns and students), injured and arrested hundreds..

But the All-Burmese Monks Alliance and the 88 Generation Students group released a joint statement today vowing to continue the protests and to ignore the military’s attempts at intimidation..

“We, monks and students, hereby announce that we will not be afraid of any threats or violent crackdowns and we will continue our fight for our nation's sake by joining hands with all the ethnic groups and the people of Burma,” the statement said.
