Burma's Protest

One of the Nation's largest anti- government protests started in Pakokku, Burma almost two decades ago. And it was repeated recently in the city of Pakokku, the home to over 80 monasteries, and the center of Buddhist learning. In September of 2007, hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns marched in protest against the military government. Burma captured the world's attention when when they took to the streets in cities throughout the country. Burma's most recent protest happened on October 31, 2007. It is good to know that in spite of everything that has happened to monks and the citizens of Burma, they are still standing up for what they believe in.
