CNN Video Coverage (Image from Time.com)
Protesters, journalists, and others are under attack by the military in Burma. Monks seem to be the main target of the military at this point because they are so vast in numbers, and are very well organized. The internet has also been shut down in Burma, from what I understand this has been accomplished via multiple firewalls. Some bloggers have managed to tunnel, hack, or otherwise sneak their way through to get their blogs posted, displaying pictures and videos of the events. With the internet now shut down though, communication has been made much more difficult. I invite everyone to draw as much attention to this issue as possible. Many organizations are also wearing the color red on Fridays to raise awareness. Trouble between the people and the government, especially the military is nothing new to this region, but, this is the first I really read about it, so, I figured I’d spread the word.
