Burma: Thousands Dead In Massacre of The Monks Dumped In The Jungle
Thousands of protesters are dead and the bodies of hundreds of executed monks have been dumped in the jungle, a former intelligence officer for Burma’s ruling junta has revealed.
The most senior official to defect so far, Hla Win, said: “Many more people have been killed in recent days than you’ve heard about. The bodies can be counted in several thousand.”
Mr Win, who spoke out as a Swedish diplomat predicted that the revolt has failed, said he fled when he was ordered to take part in a massacre of holy men. He has now reached the border with Thailand.
Meanwhile, the United Nations special envoy was in Burma’s new capital today seeking meetings with the ruling military junta.
Ibrahim Gambari met detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Rangoon yesterday. But he has yet to meet the country’s senior generals as he attempts to halt violence against monks and pro-democracy activists.
It is anticipated the meeting will happen tomorrow.
Mr Gambari met some of the country’s military leaders in Naypyidaw yesterday and has returned there for further talks. But he did not meet senior general Than Shwe or his deputy Maung Aye - and they have issued no comment.
Reports from exiles along the frontier confirmed that hundreds of monks had simply “disappeared” as 20,000 troops swarmed around Rangoon yesterday to prevent further demonstrations by religious groups and civilians.
Word reaching dissidents hiding out on the border suggested that as well as executions, some 2,000 monks are being held in the notorious Insein Prison or in university rooms which have been turned into cells.
There were reports that many were savagely beaten at a sports ground on the outskirts of Rangoon, where they were heard crying for help.
Others who had failed to escape disguised as civilians were locked in their bloodstained temples.
There, troops abandoned religious beliefs, propped their rifles against statues of Buddha and began cooking meals on stoves set up in shrines.
In stark contrast, the streets of Rangoon and Mandalay - centres of the attempted saffron revolution last week - were virtually deserted.
A Swedish diplomat who visited Burma during the protests said last night that in her opinion the revolution has failed.
Liselotte Agerlid, who is now in Thailand, said that the Burmese people now face possibly decades of repression. “The Burma revolt is over,” she added.
“The military regime won and a new generation has been violently repressed and violently denied democracy. The people in the street were young people, monks and civilians who were not participating during the 1988 revolt.
“Now the military has cracked down the revolt, and the result may very well be that the regime will enjoy another 20 years of silence, ruling by fear.”
Mrs Agerlid said Rangoon is heavily guarded by soldiers.
“There are extremely high numbers of soldiers in Rangoon’s streets,” she added. “Anyone can see it is absolutely impossible for any demonstration to gather, or for anyone to do anything.
“People are scared and the general assessment is that the fight is over. We were informed from one of the largest embassies in Burma that 40 monks in the Insein prison were beaten to death today and subsequently burned.”
The diplomat also said that three monasteries were raided yesterday afternoon and are now totally abandoned.
At his border hideout last night, 42-year-old Mr Win said he hopes to cross into Thailand and seek asylum at the Norwegian Embassy.
The 42-year-old chief of military intelligence in Rangoon’s northern region, added: “I decided to desert when I was ordered to raid two monasteries and force several hundred monks onto trucks.
“They were to be killed and their bodies dumped deep inside the jungle. I refused to participate in this.”
With his teenage son, he made his escape from Rangoon, leaving behind his wife and two other sons.
He had no fears for their safety because his brother is a powerful general who, he believes, will defend the family.
Mr Win’s defection will raise a faint hope among tens of thousands of Burmese who have fled to villages along the Thai border.
They will feel others in the army may follow him and turn on their ageing leaders, Senior General Than Shwe and his deputy, Vice Senior General Maung Aye.

I take it the protestors were unarmed, a ‘peaceful’ protest?
Look for the dictator to be invited for BBQ at Crawford next week, shrub loves the smell of blood in the morning.
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0319-03.htm
Next time the “protesters” should aquire arms from the US of A. before taking on the military. So much for peaceful protest in Burma.
Kem Patrick, “were the protesters armed or unarmed.” I won’t continue because it seems to be that you believe only unarmed demonstrations are good.
My God - do you have any idea of what is and has been ocurring in Myanmar?
KEM PATRICK
i think you are sometimes too obtuse and esoteric for folks who haven’t kept up with your postings………
FCCM
good link………..
Yes hydrophobia, as coco noted, I was being obtuse. In other words, since they were unarmed, the monks were prey.~~~ Not pray, by the way.
I guess it is fortunate that the monks and civilian protesters did not ask for help from the United States. Apparently there is enough gas and oil there to catch Cheney/Bush’s attention, which means we would have gone in there, slaughtered the monks and civilians to bring them “freedom and democracy,” cut a deal with, or deposed the ruling junta, and occupied Burma, killing any monks that protested the occupation, which was for their own good.
Cheney/Bush will bring freedom and democracy to the world if they have to kill every living thing on the planet to do it.
In every society there is always a guardian of compassion, a moral defense of the defenseless. A physical bottom line. When that line gets moved or conflicted the consequences create an impoverished human condition, a world in need of balance and the death of innocents.
My heart aches.
Shades of Tibet…will executing monks be a new Olympic sport?
Will the CPC consider this?
Seems the Chinese, in cautioning the Burmese government, suggested only killing thousands instead of millions.
When a govt starts killing its holy ones, and the citizenry does not defend them, then a total lack of accountability and compassion exists.
That is the definition of hell.
Remember also, that Unocal built a pipeline in Burma with slave labor, and paid the Burmese government to provide security not terribly long ago.
Interesting world we live in. Burma is another example of the tail-end of the British empire. Go in, wreck any indigenous leadership/systems (good and bad alike), set up puppets, monopolize their resources, etc. They, like Iraq and many others, were under British despotic rule for ~60 years up until 1948 in their case.
Appears that the Brits taketh more than they giveth.
NPR’s coverage of this has been atrocious.
Here’s an excerpt from the transcript:
“MONTAGNE: And any question of a repeat of 1988?
SULLIVAN: I think it’s wide open at this point. I mean, it’s going to be a long fight. I mean, clearly, the early rounds have gone to the protesters, to the monks and to their supporters. And yesterday in Yangon, just the looks on the faces of the people as the monks and their supporters went by, the looks on the faces on the onlookers. I mean, people were very, very excited, but they are also terribly apprehensive because they know that history. They know what could happen. It’s going to be a long fight.
I think the government effectively counterpunched today.
I mean, we did see protesters on the streets but not in the numbers that we’ve seen them in the last couple of days. So the security forces are clearly trying to get a handle on this thing and I think it’s still early days.
MONTAGNE: NPR’s Michael Sullivan who’s just left Myanmar. He spoke to us this morning from Bangkok, Thailand.”
“Effective counterpunch?” You’d think NPR approved of the general’s actions. What kind of language is that? Would they refer to an insurgent attack on U.S. troops in Iraq as an “effective counterpunch?”.
NPR hasn’t covered the oil and gas issue (the struggle between India and China for access to Burma’s resources, with Western oil interests like TOTAL also vying for their share) and how it has prevented the world from taking action either.
Militarism does not occur in a vacuum. Militarism is encouraged and enabled in a global militarist atmosphere.
Democracy does not occur in a vacuum. Democracy is encouraged and enabled in a global democratic atmosphere.
Which does the US encourage/enable? It’s the ultimate question for the Demoks. We all know the answer.
Can’t wait to hear the spin CNN puts on this. Or Fox. I wonder what Bill O’ Reilly will be spouting? “These monks should have known better than to hit the streets…they should have just stayed in their little monasteries and prayed like good monks. I mean, come on people! Think about it! When you know the likelihood is that the government is going to mow you down, you’d better just shut the hell up!! Capeesh?!”
I can just hear him saying that….can’t you?
My heart is aching for the human race. Since our Congress won’t stand up for the American People’s desires regarding Iraq, I wonder if they’ll be brave enough to stand up for the People of Burma?
In the mean time I see there was another blood bath in Darfur over the weekend.
It seems China is deeply involved in Darfur and Myanmar. Perhaps, with the Olympics just around the corner, it’s time for a boycott of all things Chinese?
Sorry, as much as I feel for the people of Mayanmar/Burma, it is hard to get indignant about some Generals murdering thousands of their own civilains while George Bush’s USA is murderings hundreds of thousands of OTHER PEOPLE”s civilans.
what is the count now in “Iraqi Enduring Freedom”? 700,000 civilian dead?
canuckchuck - not likely, for once you’ve climbed out of the pit of desire - that phase of dellusion is over. It is only us in the west, with our obsession with form, and the fiction of chasing the mirage of eternal youth ; that we cling to that lie.
canuckchuck “sorry, as much as I feel for the people of Mayanmar/Burma, it’s hard to get indignant about some Generals murdering thousands of their own civilians while George Bush’s USA is murdering hundreds of thousands of OTHER PEOPLE’s civilians.
Is your heart only so big as to have “selective” compassion?
Here’s to those brave noble martyred people.
I hope their sacrifice is a seed to something better in this world, and hope they have peace and honor in the next if this is verifiable. Good to see that the spirit of Jesus, Ghandi, and MLK are still alive today.
Haven’t learned much as a species have we? Still killing the “turn the other cheek” folks. The irony of life is so odd that those who literally don’t hurt flies meet their end this way.
Bet this is like porn for a lot of the right here who wish they could go that far with the peaceniks here. Taser is too pg-13 I bet.
p.s. regarding NPR, gave up on em over 7 years ago. News, music, whatever, you can find 1000 times better online. I have no idea why anyone even turns them on anymore. Even in your car you could podcast onto an mp3 player or get satellite.
I hate sounding paranoid but, I don’t think we are far from these types of executions going down here in the U.S. I don’t have very high expectations from the current regime and also the general public. There is a huge amount of bitterness and divisiveness in the country now, and with the impending environmental and economic crises it is easy for me to see a scenario in which Bush/Cheney Co. set up a perceived “need” to rid the country of “insurgents” or “opponents of America”.
Saddam attacked villagers and that was one main excuse they used to “remove” him(and our troops killed 100,000’s more innocents in the process), so when are they going to do the same with this regime in Burma?
The hypocrisy is totally unbelievable.
In the death of these Monks and demonstrators the suffering and pain of life has been seen and heard around the world. These monks were thinking of their inter-relationship with all mankind and the universe……….THIS WAS THEIR KARMA…. I hope they planted the seed of hope and peace in many a heart. Sometimes a horror like this will awaken a felling in mankind that you have not felt before, and this voice can be very powerful……PEACE.
Namoamidabutsu
I am a pacifist. War is barbaric and by this time in human evolution, we should have moved beyond the need to maim and murder to resolve conflict. But, I fear we are entering another “dark age”. The species has not learned from history, and the suffering of the meek at the hands of the powerful is terrifying. The earth is suffering. All living things are in decline. At this rate, it probably doesn’t matter who becomes President in this country. Only the rate of decline can be effected. The Burmese massacre of the monks and pacifist protestors has been the straw that has broken my sense of hope.
I’m sure Dubya is taking notes. (With phony Texas accent): “Let’s see, start shooting peaceful protesters in the streets, seize as many as you can and quietly kill and dump the bodies, while eliminating access to the internet and outside media so the rest of the World doesn’t really know what’s going on. Brilliant!”
“Hey, Condi, get those generals on the phone, I want to pick their brains on how to do this shit here! We’ll get those Blackwater fellers to lead the charge into the crowd. They just love shooting their guns at civilians, hey, hey, hey.” (With apologies to Jon Stewart.)
Isn’t their ANY armed resistance movement in “Burma”? Obviously, if it’s not possible to shame the powerful with speaking truth, revolution is the only other answer. Now there’s a “terrorist” movement that a lot of people would get behind financially.
COSMOS
i am a pacifist too. i hate any kind of violence and follow the buddhist doctrine. to see these innocents being treated in this way is beyond comprehension. and as you say, why have we not, as evolved humans, moved beyond the need for such abominations. i understand your broken sense of hope.
It is truly horrific to imagine those red robes piled in the jungles, awaiting moss and animals while the progress of the young lies dying in the streets.
I am certain that the U.S. supplies a certain amount of materiel to the military junta in Burma to assure a free flow of goods at a cheap price, including gas and oil. Of course, millions of profits are to be made at the expense of the common people. This is the way it has always worked for fascist America. It has become more out front with the help of Bush, whose grandfather got rich off of the Krups war machine during World War II. Some things remain the same. This can only be stopped by mass protest. As always, those with the guns scare the rest of us. My heart goes out to the Burmese community.
Hopefully China’s pollution will ruin the Olympics.
Gee, I guess that Jim Carey video on You Tube for Burmese independence wasn’t enough.
In 1988 there were students, monks and the Karen fighting the government, but not this time - just monks it seems. That’s a little suspicious.
I think the biggest question to ask is, what exactly does a government do to get it’s armed forces and police to cold-bloodedly kill their own countrymen*, and even defile their own cultural and religious institutions?
Recall that in successful unarmed popular uprisings, such as Romania in 1989, and the February 1917 revolution in Russia, a substantial part of the armed forces and their commanders, when confronted by the sheer numbers of demonstrators, “turned their guns around” and joined the revolution.
So if we can only figure out governments indoctrinate police and armed forces come to think of their own countrymen as the “enemy” we could halt or short circuit the process and end the horrors such as in burma right now.
I know of one method, which has disturbing parallels in the US, that is the recruitment of the forces from isolated rural area, where the “city slickers” likely to organize an uprising are already treated with suspicion, and the development of a police-culture, so police only have social interaction with other police.
*sorry, I can’t think of a gender neutral term here…
The U.S, Canada, and the European Union have had a total trade embargo in place for years concerning Burma. Thailand is now the chief trade partner by far, followed by India and China.
Since the military took control in 1962 they have royally screwed up that country.
Whatever you think of the British colonial rule, they left Burma in 1948 with one of the strongest economies in Asia. Burma used to be the world’s chief exporter of rice and produced 75% of the total Teak produced. In addition, Oil, Gems, Natural gas ect. Now the military has trouble feeding the people.
I hope everyone will take a moment to remember the thousands killed yesterday.
Peace
How sad, what a heart breaking loss of life. I can’t Imagine the pain those poor unarmed patriots are feeling. All of humanity should feel shame as this tragedy could have and should have been prevented.
Attempting to bring about world peace through the internal transformation of individuals is difficult, but it is the only way
~ The Dali Lama ~
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world
grows in me and I wake in the
night at the least sound
I go and lie down
where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water,
and the great heron feeds
I come into the peace
of wild things
I come into the presence
of still water
For a time I rest
In the grace of the world
and I am Free
~ Wendell Berry ~
To get a better understanding what is happening in Burma it is worth while watching the following award winning documentary by John Pilger and David Munro: Burma: Land of Fear (51:54)
As long as the “dominator” mentality (vs “partnership” mentality a la Riane Eisler in “The Chalice and the Blade”) reigns on this earth, the strongest, meanest with the most powerful weapons will continue to rape and slaughter for profit and power. Dominator male-centered religions used their power over several thousand years from 2500 BCE to 600 CE to destroy all weaker civilizations in their path, (with “Yahweh” instructing them through their prophets to kill every man, non-virgin women, and children but keep the comely virgin women for themselves in their systematic attempt to wipe out all the “pagan and heathen” goddess religions that were “partnership” civilizations in earlier times). They went to every brutal and murderous length to suppress and “own” women, blaming them for the myth they devised (for political purposes to take over matrilineal lands) that Eve had caused poor little weak Adam the wimp to eat of the forbidden fruit forever robbing us of heaven on earth – what a bunch of b—s!! I used to be a pacifist too, but it is no longer bearable, the bleeding has to stop; turning the other cheek is futile and often fatal. I have become a disciple of the avenging Kali, and am calling others to “psychic arms.” I ask any of you who believe in the power of focused imagery to participate in setting a time (accounting for time zones) for us to envision en masse these Burmese military thugs disempowered and their gun-wielding soldiers made impotent. It won’t solve the earthwide problem, but the revolt has to start somewhere.
p.s. If anyone can find a picture of these two criminals: Senior General Than Shwe and his deputy, Vice Senior General Maung Aye, it would help my imagery.
Shwe & Maung Aye are creeps. I can just picture them lickin’ their chops during the Cremation of Care Ceremony at Bohemian Grove.
To JMcCandless:
Just Google the names of these spawns of Satan. When the links come up go to the upper left corner and click on “images”. Then click on the website that is a direct link to the spawn and there will be some pictures.
I will light a candle for you and your imagery. Godspeed.
China Exporting Weapons to ‘Rogue’ Countries
By Chen Jingsong
Radio Free Asia Jul 03, 2006
Last month Amnesty International published a report branding the Chinese communist party (CCP) as the “most irresponsible” in the world because it exported dangerous weapons to Burma, Nepal, Sudan, and the Great Lakes region in Africa. Having such weapons has intensified the tensions and conflicts in these regions and directly resulted in an increase in humanitarian disasters.
In the face of such a serious charge, the Chinese communist regime totally denied the charges and maintained that it follows three principles when exporting weapons.
The CCP claims that it is “helping the self-defence capacity of the importing countries.” However, the exported weapons were not used for self-defence but for civil war in each of the countries cited. For example, China-supplied weapons helped the Sudanese army to suppress resistance movements and kill civilians, and helped the Burmese army to suppress democratic movements and the Karen people.
Secondly, the CCP states the weapons are not meant to “harm the peace, security and stability of the world and the related areas.” However, exporting weapons to Iran, North Korea, and the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan has contributed to regional and even global crises.
Also, the CCP claims that they “their military trade does not interfere with other sovereignties’ internal affairs.” But in fact, the purpose of the CCP’s exporting weapons to Burma, North Korea, and Zimbabwe was to sustain failing despotic rulers in those countries, and enabled them to persecute and kill their own people.
Amnesty International condemned the CCP for its mass exportation of weapons in exchange for profits or energy resources. The CCP defended itself by saying that its weapons exports were far less than that of Russia, the United States, or the European Union……. http://en.epochtimes.com/news/6-7-3/43493.html
“The U.S, Canada, and the European Union have had a total trade embargo in place for years concerning Burma.”
I don’t think that’s quite true. My understanding is that the French oil company Total and the American company Chevron still have extensive operations there.
These activists and monks have given their lives so we may be free; free from hate, greed and delusion.
Let each drop of blood fill your heart with love; let each pain fill your mind with generosity; let each sorrow clarify your intentions; be free.
They are not Christian. Please resist putting this into a “Christ died for your sins” analysis framework. They cannot harm sentient beings. They do not do this for martyrdom.
Why kill nonviolent monks — or civilians for that matter. I’m wondering why the U.S. didn’t help the Tibetans when they requested help from America, when the Communist Chinese invaded their country. Nonviolent monks were slaughtered there, too. How sad.
Does the Burmese regime qualify for membership in the Axis of Evil yet? Doesn’t China’s role as arms provider, supporter and enabler of these thugs justify a boycott of the Olympics and any companies that sponsor, support or pay royalties to the Chinese? And how about boycotting all of those lead-contaminated Chinese products at WalMart? The Chinese are specialists in monk executions, and their proteges in Myanmar are learning well. How about Chevron, Total and Unocal? Shouldn’t we be boycotting them? We can’t count on our President or Congress to take meaningful action, but we individually and collectively can vote with our wallets.
So this is the new century eh? This is certainly not the future I thought it would be. WTF is wrong with this world?
Didn’t Halliburton or its subsidiary do business with Burma? Wasn’t there a charge of slave labor?
Where is Halliburton’s old CEO these days?
The Brits are hyping the news. They best tend to their business of killing Iraqis. The worst hypocritical nation you could ever see.
Actually this sounds alot like Hungary in’56 except the Hungarians had weapons. As long as the Burmese are going to be so naive they are going to suffer. Either that or turn the army around.
I think truthteller (above) had it right. The Bush administration must be keenly interested in what techniques the junta is using to suppress the revolt. The Bushies might see it as an opportunity to sell the junta some new high-tech gizmos that DARPA has been working on to control crowds, and see how well they work.
As an American, I do not feel I have the right to condemn the Chinese for their support when my government has supported and supports equally oppressive and murderous regimes, and itself commits murder on a far grander scale.
Demonstrations held in India and Sri Lanka
Oct 2, 2007 (DVB)–Nearly one thousand people in India’s capital New Delhi yesterday marched in front of the Burmese embassy to protest against the government’s brutal crackdown on recent protests in country.
The protesters – multi-ethnic democracy activists and monks from Burma, carrying placards and opposition flags - were halted before they reached the Burmese embassy by Indian police and fire engines, said witnesses.
However, a group of Burmese activists in a truck fitted with loudspeakers managed to reach the Burmese and Chinese embassies and shout slogans denouncing the Burmese government’s brutality.
The demonstration was later joined by Indian civilians and politicians, including India’s former Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral and former Defense Minister George Fernandes, as well as a small number of Tibetan refugees.
Inder Kumar Gujral told the press he joined the protest to show solidarity with the Burmese people and criticized the Indian government’s continued support to the Burmese junta even after its violent crackdown on peaceful protestors.
“We are joining [the protest] to show that we are on same side as the Burmese people. I pray for their victory, as their victory will be ours too…,” said Gujral.
“But the Indian government now is different from us. They are not on the right side.”
George Fernandes also strongly criticised the Indian government for their ignorance of the current situation in Burma.
“The footages showing the Burmese government’s soldiers killing peaceful protesters have shocked the whole world… It is such a great shame for us that our Indian government is ignorant about this,” Fernandes said.
In Sri Lanka, 150 Burmese, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and Cambodian monks demonstrated in front of the United Nations mission in Colombo.
One monk, U Kawthala, a member of the group that organised the protest, explained the reason for the protest.
“We are protesting to call on the UN to help solve the current crisis in Burma where the ruling junta is brutally killing peaceful protestors” he said.

A songwriter friend of mine, a member of Amnesty International, Jennifer Hancock, and I wrote a song many years ago that was inspired by Aung San Suu Kyi. We call it “Press On” and can still be found at http://cdbaby.com/cd/jimglover.
Some of the words I remember are:
Somewhere in the World tonight I saw you on the news,
Full of hope and full of fear , you don’t know what to do.
Too young to be a prisoner too old to live in fear
I saw the men in power who took what you hold dear
Press on….. put our feet on higher ground
Press on Press on…Put our feet on higher ground.
I never even met you but yet somehow I see
The courage and the strength, I hope to have in me….
You stood up to the anger you stood up straight and tall
and as the world was watching… saw the towers fall
Press on put our feet on higher ground
Still lookin for the answers the world may someday know
diggin riddles buried deep in the ages below
So call out in the silence call out to your friends
till one by one we’ll join you and bring it to an end
Press on……………Press on
If the monks thought they would be safe against that military, their “meditations” were foolish.
This country started on armed revolt! Anyone who thinks that a non-violent revolt against the Brits would have worked is as foolish as believing in a god to stop Katrina’s and free popcorn at the movies.
The monks need to take off those robs and arm themsleves so in their next attempt they will have a chance at freedom.
Conservatives kill.
Very nice, Jim Glover; thanks for sharing.
JMcCandless,
Time? everyday? week? Intent?
I weep.
I really liked the shirts that came out of the sweat shops there a few years back, very well made…good stitching, quality tight knit 100% cotton.
So when is Bushy headed to “Burma”/Myanmar to squash these dangerous Buddist(not Christian)killing thugs…..
any OIL left in the ground there?
“Whatever you think of the British colonial rule, they left Burma in 1948 with one of the strongest economies in Asia. Burma used to be the world’s chief exporter of rice and produced 75% of the total Teak produced”
I was wondering when the colonial apologists would start rearing their head and here you have it. If you really want to know about the ‘good’ british rule achieved we should give a billion south asians computers and access to this forum. Till then all colonial apologists should shut the f$%&k up.
The Indian subcontinent had the 2nd highest GDP in the world at the eve of british imperial conquest. In a matter of 250 years they managed to devastate the economy, slaughter millions and yet managed to convince the world how morally superior they were !! Astonishing.
Question:
Why is it every time the chimp starts mouthing about people’s freedom and there’s oil in the background that terrible attrocities happen to those people he verbally supported just a few days before?
What the hell is this shell of a man saying on the phone to these military strongmen? Don’t worry, I don’t care what you do as long as the oil coming out of there stays pegged to the dollar… sure! kill em all! They’re just Monks!
You wanna talk about some bad family Karma….. whew!
Great. Another Bushmonkey Turkey Shoot.
Bart Simpson in the Oval Office!
I wonder what’s going to happen tomorrow?
Answer: “The Day after Tomorrow.”
Great. Another Shotgun Dick Turkey Shoot.
