BURMA'S PROTESTS UPDATED / by Thierry Falise. (Please note OnAsia photographer Thierry Falise was using a pseudonym Tony Cliff for security reasons - credit Thierry Falise not Tony Cliff) - Burma’s troubles all began when the junta suddenly and dramatically raised the prices of gas. After a few attempts of civilians protest, monks began taking it to the streets in several cities, a swelling nationwide protest that has escalated into the most potent threat to the junta’s hard-line rule in nearly 20 years. OnAsia photographer Thierry Falise was in Rangoon to see the peaceful demonstrations grow from a few hundreds to tens of thousands, with civilians joining the monks and defiantly calling for the release of opposition icon Aung San Suu Kyi. He was there to witness the protests being brutally crushed by the military. To see more of his pictures, click here.
