More than 100 monks have marched in central Burma, the first time they have returned to the streets since last month’s bloody crackdown on protests, according to BBC, Tuesday.
The monks chanted and prayed as they marched through Pakokku, the site of an incident last month that triggered pro-democracy protests nationwide.
The government said 10 people died during the crackdown, but diplomats believe the toll was much higher.
Thousands more – many of them monks – were thought to have been detained.
