Burma’s junta slapped dusk-till-dawn curfews on the country’s two largest cities late Tuesday after Buddhist monks defied warnings of a crackdown and led 100,000 people in another day of mass protests.

For the first time since protests began on Aug. 19, the government began to issue warnings and to move truckloads of soldiers into positions in Yangon, the largest city and former capital.

During the marches, some of the monks reportedly carried banners summarizing the grievances of the public: “Sufficiency in food, clothing and shelter, national reconciliation, freedom for all political prisoners.” Source: AFR
