Things are looking ugly for Burma. My professor told us that apparently a huge number of monks from previous days protests were attacked during the night. Their places were ransacked and they were beaten and put in jail... i know there's a BBC video on it somewhere.

The protests continue on though...hopeufully it won't be a repeat of 1988.

YouTube footage of protests:
