Buddhist monks started a march to try and get the government to change the high fuel prices that they are suffering from. The monks began their march on Friday and they had 1,500 participants. The monks march for four straight days in Yangon. While this is occurring the U.N. begins to realize that the rising tumor in Myanmar needs to end before serious problems occur. Incidents like this are often stopped before they gain any type of power but this time the government left the marchers alone. They let the march continue in hopes that this would never happen again. The information ministry Ye Hut said, “The Myanmar government will not declare a state of emergence. You can see the government handles the situation peacefully.” The monks held there last marched on Tuesday because the government failed to apologize on Monday for allegedly roughing up some of the monks. Dozens of activist have been detained by the authorities. The Hong-Kong based Asian Commission urged the residents of the Buddhist community to come out and support the monks march in Myanmar.

The last article I wrote about was the beginning of these marches on Thursday. This is a terrible event that should have never started. Instead it has lasted for four days and the monks have not received what they ask for. They only ask for more reasonable living conditions. This is a very realistic request that the monks ask for. They are also doing the march in a very peaceful manner that is not going to harm anyone. The monks have suffered from a government that is taking advantage of their human rights.
