*Subject:* bludgeoning monks by the 'lone-tein'
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.
A troop of lone-tein (riot police comprised of paid thugs)
protected
by the military trucks, raided the monastery with 200 studying
monks. They systematically ordered all the monks to line up and
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 later died the same day,
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 stained everywhere on the walls and floors of
the monastery.
Please tell your audience of the full extent of the fate of the
monks please please !!!!!!!!!!!!
'Arrested' is not enough expression. They have been bludgeoned to
death.
