Protest On Silence: Show Solidarity To The Burma Protesters!
Buddhists will take part in a silent march this weekend in solidarity with the thousands of monks risking their lives by protesting in Burma!
A Dharma Yatra or silent walk, will leave Brighton's Palace Pier on Sunday at noon for Hove Peace Statue.
Up to five people were feared dead last night after Burma's military government ordered troops to fire on crowds of demonstrators.
Witnesses said Buddhist monks, who have been leading the anti-government marches, were among the dead.
Hundreds of others were hit with tear gas, beaten and dragged away under arrest in convoys of trucks.
... Following eight days of anti-government marches across the country in the largest protests in almost 20 years. The protest that is taking place in Burma is the largest public demonstration against the repressive military regime in almost 20 years.
The demonstrations began last month after the government raised fuel prices sharply in what is one of Asia's poorest countries.
