Injured Burmese Protesters Cremated Alive

UPDATE:

An eyewitness from inside Burma reports that injured protesters are being taken to the Yay Way cemetery outside of Rangoon, and burned alive in an effort to destroy the evidence of the genocide occurring.

This shocking report comes only hours after news that dozens of high school students were shot and beaten to death.

Regardless, the junta continue to claim responsibility for only 9 deaths. They have cut off internet and telephone connections to the country almost entirely, to shield their horrific actions from world scrutiny.

This CAN NOT continue. We MUST support the people of Burma in their quest for not only democracy, but BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.

The most comprehensive source for updates on demonstrations, petitions and email campaigns is the Facebook group “Support the Monks’ Protest in Burma“, which now has over 170,000 members.

Krista,

Do you know if the media has covered this? We know that CBS Reporters and probably others are inside the country. I picked this up from Ko as well and I know the BBC has been tracking his blog, but haven’t seen anything on it yet. The MSM should be looking into this if they aren’t or haven’t already.

Amadeus,

None of us have seen it on BBC. My feeling is that they would be just as aware of anything on his blog as we are. So either they haven’t picked it up yet because of the time of day there, or they’ve chosen not to run it as there are no photos to back the story up.

I for one hope it”s not the latter< as his info has been reliable so far

Hi - for the sake of your cause and similar causes you need to learn the meaning of the word “genocide” which does not simply mean killing a lot of people.

Please keep publicizing whatever comes out of Burma. The world needs to know what is going on there. I live in Thailand, next door to Burma, and already the news here has almost disappeared. This MUST NOT HAPPEN. The generals must go! Please help.

Genocide: the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

Entering monasteries in the dead of night, and beating monks to death by the dozens…. it qualifies.
