Monks march west on Shwegondine Road in Yangon as onlookers join and form a human chain to protect the monks from government forces deployed to crackdown on the demonstrations.
In a country where such demonstrations are commonplace, and very annoying, as most are really lacking in meaning or substance. Here is a group who are demonstrating in what may lead to their death. These brave Monks and citizens are amazing. I am most moved by the human chain around the monks by the local citizens to protect them from the Government.
God Speed my friends in Burma.
