A dispatch received from someone with a relative in Yangon (Rangoon), via Richard Reoch of Shambhala:
We just got phone call with our sister living in Yangon about a few hours ago. We saw on BBC world, saying that 200 monks were arrested. The true picture is far worse. For one instance, the monastery at an obscure neighborhood of Yangon, called Ngwe Kyar Yan (on Wei-za-yan-tar Road, Yangon) had been raided early this morning.
They systematically ordered all the monks to line up and banged and crushed each
one's head against the brick wall of the monastery.
Then, they tore off the red robes and threw them all in the military trucks
(like rice bags) and took the bodies away.
Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the monastery, warded off by troops
with bayoneted rifles, unable to help their helpless monks being slaughtered
inside the monastery.
'Arrested' is not enough expression. They have been bludgeoned to death !!!!!!
