their ticker at the top are confirming reports that the State of Burma has confirmed

"At least 9 people killed on Thursday - State Media"

No other link it is followed by more soon.

More and more saddened by the minute.

To those of you with friends and family there my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

May the peace the monks posses infect the minds of the military in burma with love and wisdom and compassion.

Kind Regards

ACryingElf.



ElfEdit for correct Link.

More accounts on the BBC site Link



It is 14:30 now and the riot police and army are trying to disperse the crowds on the street. At about 12:30 the whole street was filled with demonstrators. Then the soldiers started to shoot and use tear gas and then they charged with batons and took away some of the protesters. I heard that one person was killed. The crowds were yelling at the soldiers "your task is not to kill us citizens". At about 14:00 about the soldiers advanced towards the road in front of our office shouting through a loudspeaker at the crowds to disperse. The demonstrators went away, probably to another part of the town. There were only about 12 monks leading them. Similar things are happening in other parts of the town where there are protests. There are soldiers in almost all strategic parts of the town trying to disperse the crowd. There is a little restraint still as they give warnings before doing anything and the people have some time to disperse. I hope that things will get better without more bloodshed.

They're beating the crowd in front of Traders Hotel. Around 2,000 were taking part in a peaceful demonstration. There were also monks and people sat down to pay respect. They started the beating as the people sat down to bow. Tear gas were used again. Someone saw 20 trucks full of soldiers heading towards downtown. The junta has begun a full scale war against innocent civilians. Sai, Rangoon




There are many deaths on the streets of Rangoon. There were many deaths by gun-shots but the military is taking away the bodies so that they can hide their inhumane violence on civilians. Now even spectators on the streets, who are not involved in the protests are being shot at. Wai, Rangoon


These seem to reflect some of the things written in the chat box on the blog sites.
It certainly seems as though the violence is increasing.
The only positive news I have heard today is that China broke their silence and non-interference policy and asked the junta to show restraint. That would seem to indicate that they are beginning to feel the pressure themselves.

ko-htike.blogspot.com... has been updated again. A Singaporean national living in Myanmar recounts how he was shot several times with rubber bullets whilst attempting to go to work.
He was not a protester. Several pictures of his wounds are also posted.

I totally agree, it has been stating several times in the chat box that people suspect misinformation is being deliberately disseminated there.

The severing of internet connections has been confirmed Link

There are reports that the army is now fighting against itself with divisions 33 and 99 clashing. This is not yet substantiated.

[edit on 28-9-2007 by ilandrah]

The rumours of widening army defections is growing, many in the chat box are claiming that these rumours have been confirmed, but do not cite sources.

28 Sep 07, 14:30
Admin: Reliable Source : Army Division 33 did not follow orders and hence, Army Division 99 was sent in by plan to fight them.

28 Sep 07, 14:41
Admin: batallion 66 has stood by the civilian's side at North Oakkalar

28 Sep 07, 14:43
