COMMENTS: Monkfree
Only ABC followed up on last week's anti-junta protests in Myanmar that were led by Burmese monks. Jim Sciutto (subscription required) crossed the border from Thailand to visit a rural Buddhist monastery. He found it "deserted except for a lone monk." Sciutto reported the same on city streets, "once teeming with Buddhist monks--their absence is glaring." Sciutto repeated reports that the military had incarcerated "tens of thousands" of monks, either locked in their monasteries or held in "jails, universities, even a race course."
