The Long March
Thousands of Burmese monks and civilians today ignored threats from the country's military regime by taking part in another day of street protests.
Burma's rulers had threatened to act against the monks behind the week-long pro-democracy demonstration, but at least 10,000 people could be seen marching through the capital Rangoon this morning.
Numbers are expected to swell later.
Yesterday, Burmese civilians joined the monks en masse and up to 100,000 people thronged the streets of the capital, one of world's most repressed cities.
Burma Protest.
