As you can imagine the information flow from wihtin Burma has been stunted due to the crackdown by the military junta on internet and mobile phone communication so only little information is coming through. IUSY will try and post as much of this information as possible. However it is clear that know one from outside Burma is sure on what the real situation in the country at this point in time.
(Time)12.18 PM Reports emerging from Rangoon indicate that the temporary detention centres based in Yangon Institute of Technology and General Institute of Technology (GTI) is currently detaining 500 hundred monks.The monks are refusing to accept Sune (Alms food.....food offering given to monk by layperson just before 12 noon as main meal of the day) from the
military junta. The local population approached these detention centres to offer food and they have been turned away by the
authorities. Technically, the monks are unintentionally on hunger strike.
