New evidence emerged today of the torture of monks and other protesters in Burma, as the security forces arrested more prominent anti-government activists.
A recently released monk revealed today that he and hundreds of others were interrogated to provide the names of the ringleaders of the protests.
When they failed to answer they were kicked and beaten, he told Reuters news agency.
Speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, he said they were packed in so tightly at a makeshift prison at the Technical Institute campus in Rangoon that they could not lie down.
