We Stand with the Burmese People
Remember Those Who Died for Democracy
Led by Buddhist monks from various organisations, around 200 people left Marble Arch in London in a Peace Walk to Trafalgar Square. It was a simple demonstration, silent apart from the occasional bell and a little chanting by some of the monks, but one which would have been met by savage repression and beatings in Burma.
In London, the police behaved impeccably, providing a few officers to facilitate the march, with sufficient motorcycles to stop traffic, allowing an unhindered passage to Trafalgar Square.
There, monks held lanterns with lit candles as the crowd, now a little larger, listened to speeches about the situation in Burma.
