We have raised with the Burmese authorities our concerns at the violence which occurred
during the student protests at Letpadan Monastery in March, when Phyoe Phyoe Aung
and others were arrested. We have called for the Government of Burma to investigate
the incident and for all remaining student demonstrators to be released from prison
and charges to be dropped. Our Embassy in Rangoon is closely monitoring the cases
of the 56 who have been charged, 48 of whom remain in detention, and have attended
the most recent trial hearing in Thuyawaddy on 13 October.
