According to reports, at least two monks and a civillian has been killed as Burmese police attacked peaceful protesters against military rule. The Buddhist monks have been spearheading the recent protests in this deeply religious country. However the military had warned the monks on Monday to stop their protests. It is said that dozens of protesters were also injured, and at least 100 people have been arrested.
The protesters are demonstrating great bravery, as they know they face death or torture for asserting their rights for democratic rule in Burma. Let us not forget that the last time similar protests took place in Burma (1988), the response by the ruling military was to send armed soldiers to massacre the protesters.
Such bravery deserves to be recognised and supported by the rest of the world with deserved action by our leaders against this regime. However I fear our leaders will merely will sit and watch as more people die.
