By Ashin Mettacara

About 50 Buddhist monks gathered to begin a new demonstration in Sittwe , Rakkhine State r at around 2 pm on September 13th. But they were broke up by the security forces while they were gathering at Way Thar Lee stadium. I could not confirm how many were arrested.

Buddhist monks led a massive pro-democracy demonstrations on 18th of September 2007. The military opened fire on the demonstrators on 26th of September and many monks and people were killed.
