Protests in Birma - je 30.09.2007

Kay HagedornSeptember 30, 2007

Witnesses in Burma also said that dozens of arrests of suspected protest leaders were made over night. Meanwhile, Burma's closest ally China has made a strident called for an end to the violent crackdown on pro-democracy protestors in Rangoon. The appeal came as a Japanese envoy headed to Burma, hoping to meet with senior government ministers over the killing of a Japanese journalist by troops last week.
