Burmese exiles protest
Opponents of Burma's military government living in exile in India and
Thailand have been marking the anniversary by organising small
demonstrations.
In Bangkok more than two hundred-and-fifty protestors gathered outside the
Burmese embassy calling for the international community to put pressure on
Rangoon.
In India's north eastern state of Manipur hundreds of exiles held a
peaceful rally in the town of Moreh, on the border with Burma.
