A sister living in Yangon called a few hours ago with breaking news. BBC world reported that 200 monks were arrested. The true picture is far worse!
For instance, the monastery at an obscure neighborhood of Yangon, called Ngwe Kyar Yan (on Wei-za-yan-tar Road, Yangon) was raided early this morning.
A troop of lone-tein (riot police comprised of paid thugs) protected by military trucks, raided the monastery with 200 studying monks. They systematically ordered all the monks to line up, then banged and crushed each one’s head against the brick wall of the monastery. One by one, the peaceful, non-resisting monks, fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Then they tore off the red robes and threw them all in the military trucks (like rice bags) and took the bodies away.
The head monk of the monastery was tied up in the middle of the monastery, tortured , bludgeoned and died later today. 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. Their every try to forge ahead was met with the bayonets.
When all is done, only 10 out of 200 remained alive, hiding in the monastery. Blood stains were everywhere on the walls and floors of the monastery. Please tell your audience of the full extent of the fate of the monks. Please! "Arrested" is not a strong enough expression. They have been bludgeoned to death!

Dear Jesus, please walk into Burma and show your glory. Do not let this evil stand. I am so angry and sorrowful over what is happening there, and I can only imagine how much more you are feeling the pain of what is happening. Dear Jesus, please walk into Burma and show your glory.
Free Burma!
