More casualties in Burma

The Irrawaddy is an online news source about political happenings in Burma. It's maintained, presumably, by people who are pro-democracy & freedom. The website was disabled by a Trojan-type virus over the past 2 days. I wonder who'd do that?

A Japanese photojournalist for APF was shot dead by the Burmese military while covering a portion of the current nation-wide protest.

When will this nonsense end?

Tense situation in Burma

Source: dathana.blogspot.com

We are all hoping the current situation in Burma would not be a repeat of 1988. Dictatorship and oppression must go. The Burmese people have been under an iron hand for too long. I'm looking forward to the day when people there would be free to sit in front of their own homes, to see their children play in the yard.

This blog has news & photos of the unfolding events as well as links to other blogs monitoring the situation in Rangoon and other cities across the country. Please help spread the news online so that more people become aware of this. If possible, please provide anonymous proxy links to these courageous bloggers because the military junta has blocked access to sites like Blogspot from within Burma.
