The sacred Ngwe Kyar Yan Monastery was raided by the Junta military Wednesday night, following another day of protest in Rangoon.
The raid took place at 12:30 Am last night in the former Burmese capital. It is believed that monks were reportedly beaten and shot at. No causalities have been reported by official sources but local reports and picture phone photographs report bloodshed and likeliness of deaths.
“They took cash and food away from the monastery - not just from the monks - that's robbery, armed robbery,” local blogger Ka Daung Nyin Thar reports, “yesterday around 12.30a.m. they broke into the monastery with an army truck, took away their possesions and fired bullets, everyone heard the gun shots.”
A curfew ssued that night was, according to some locals, intentionally imposed to hold off witnesses.
Photographs taken the next morning (see link) indicate that violent activity and destruction of property clearly took place.
