But there has also been a ticking time bomb waiting to go off as police decide on what to do to bring this all to an end.

Riot police in Burma made their move and have attacked protesting monks with tear gas and baton charges as thousands take to the streets again to demonstrate against the country’s military rulers. This has not put them off, it has only made them stronger as more join the protest to send their message out.

It was reported that at Rangoon’s Shwedagon pagoda warning shots were fired over the heads of the group first and then people started to get arrested and others were beaten as they tried to enter the building complex.
