Soldiers Break Up Burma Protests

There is a lot of violence in Burma these days. Soldiers and police have baton-charged Burmese protesters who tried to stage a further day of marches in Rangoon. They sealed off five monasteries that were focal points of previous mass marches, in a bid to prevent further demonstrations. Official media said nine people were killed on Thursday as troops fired tear gas and bullets to clear large crowds of protesters off Rangoon's streets. British and Australian ambassadors in Burma say the toll was probably higher. There certainly is unrest all over the world, isn't there?
