“The riot police started to beat up the monks”

The people of Burma are so inspiring right now.

Several thousand Burmese monks and other protesters have begun a new march in Rangoon despite a baton charge by police at the city’s holiest shrine.
Police charged the crowd outside the Shwedagon Pagoda as demonstrators met for a ninth day of marching and warning shots were fired at another site.

The new march seems to be heading towards the home of detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Police and troops are surrounding key Buddhist sites around the city.
