Both the Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian are carrying disturbing photos and stories about what’s happening in Burma. The military are rounding up Buddhist monks in trucks and taking them away so they can’t come to the city to protest. They killed a Japanese photographer who was capturing the unrest on film, and apparently went searching for more foreign journalists in a nearby city hotel. The Australian reports that 11 people at least have been killed and that this tactic of letting people protest for a few days and then cracking down is to enable to military junta to identify those who are protesting.
