They were to be killed and ... bodies dumped .. inside the jungle. I refused to participate in this.
Executed monk in river.
New estimates from Hla Win (a Burmese general who abandoned his post after the killings started) state that the body count in Myanmar is, despite official reports, in the "several thousand".
British Daily Mail article here.
EDIT
I realized that I post information about what's happening without, more importantly, posting information on what you can I can do from where we sit. Literally some of these things take less than a minute, please help:
1. Sign Amnesty International's petition urging the U.N. to send a Security Council Mission to Myanmar
2. Visit the Tricycle Blog for a Burma Action Plan with more links you can get information from.
3. Get information about Global Action Day on Burma (Oct. 6th) along with pictures, history and audio. Several petitions available - US Campaign for Burma
4. Voices for Burma: How Can You Help?
5. Avaaz.org petition: aims at Chinese president and U.N. Security Coucil, vows to hold them responsible for further inaction
