    Myanmar appears to cut public Internet access

    YANGON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Myanmar's generals appeared to have cut public Internet access on Friday to prevent more videos, photographs and information about their crackdown on the biggest protests against military rule in nearly 20 years getting out.

    Internet cafes were closed and the help desk at the main Internet service provider did not answer its telephones to explain why there was no access.

    Citizen reporters have been at the forefront in informing the world of the protests against 45 years of military rule and declining living standards in the former Burma.

    They have even used the social networking site Facebook or hidden news in e-greetings cards and networks of reporters for dissident news organisations have used the Internet to get stories and pictures out.

    Burmese journals suspend publication due to government demands
    Sep 28, 2007

    (DVB)–Many privately-owned weekly news journals in Burma have decided to stop publication in protest at official demands to publish pro-government propaganda.

    Burmese authorities are ordering the publications to print articles written by state media and other stories blaming the All Burma Student’s Democratic Front and the National League for Democracy for the protests.

    “They are forcing us to publish their announcements and propaganda in our publications and we can’t let them do that to us,” said a Rangoon journalist.

    Kumudra, Seven Days, Pyi Myanmar and many other news journals have decided to stop or suspend publication, and have already informed the censor board of their decision. Rather than give the real reason for their decision, they blamed the ongoing instability which is preventing journalists from being able to go out and report.

    The journalist said that reporters from the weekly journals were this morning invited by information minister brigadier-general Kyaw Hsan to a domestic media informational tour to be organised by the censor board. Those who wanted to attend were asked to put their names on a list.

    The journalist compared the current situation with that during the 88 uprising.

    “In 88 journals published news about the riots and shootings, but it is not as easy to do that now. The situation has changed – soldiers are shooting at everything now – so we can’t do it,” said the journalist.

    Crowds taunt soldiers in Rangoon
    From correspondents in Rangoon
    September 28, 2007 05:52pm

    CROWDS of people taunted soldiers in the centre of Rangoon today, swearing at them and then running into side alleys of Burma's biggest city when the troops feigned a charge, a witness said.

    Men were shouting at the soldiers in English: "F**k you. Go f**k yourself".

    Trucks of soldiers and riot police were sealing off the centre of the city, near the Sule Pagoda area, moving wooden and barbed-wire barricades block by block.

    The protesters gathered despite an army order that Sule and four other popular pagodas in the city are "no go" zones.

    Crowds were also seen gathering at Thakayta Pagoda in eastern Rangoon, witnesses said.

    Anti-government protests have grown increasingly violent since Wednesday, when the government unleashed riot police and soldiers on demonstrators. At least 13 people have been killed in the past two days.

    Protests in Rangoon

    (Burmese Standard Time)
    1:50 p.m.
    Sporadic protest in Theingyi Market
    "Earlier there were about 5000 protesters. They were closeted on the road near Theingyi market, so they disperses. We don't know where they will go and gather. We cannot see the other end but on this side there are three military trucks blocking the road. There are about 100 soldiers," an eyewitness told Mizzima.

    1:30 p.m
    The troops in Rangoon not backing off
    "They went inside Maelahmu pagoda in North Okklapah Township. In front of the pagoda they parked a jeep which carried members of the Swan Arrshin. It is as if they are blocking the road not to allow any civilians to enter. There are about four military trucks, and I think they are putting people inside the trucks. The troops in Rangoon are not backing off but their numbers are increasing. And they are choosing places where the people are to be transfered," an analyst told Mizzima.

    11:30 a.m
    Situation in Rangoon
    "A lot of people are saying that we must fight against the junta because we will not get the same opportunity later. We must end this show now. They were talking among themselves. And they were unhappy. A lot of people in the locality also talked the same way. They said even today they will continue," a source in Rangoon told Mizzima.

    Protests across Burma

    (Burmese Standard Time)
    11 a.m
    Medicated water for crack down on protesters in Mandalay
    Rumors of the use of medicated-water to crackdown on protestors in Mandalay are making the rounds among local people.
    A local resident talked about the situation in Mandalay
    "We are hearing that there are fire engines filled with medicated-water and that the authorities will use water canons to disperse the crowd. The water is mixed with medicines and if the water is splashed on the people they will feel itchy and will not be able to continue protesting. Yesterday even the teargas created itchiness. A monk was badly affected, and there was nothing people could do to help him.
    Yesterday, people were assaulted when angry mobs start pelting stones at the security forces. There were a lot of people yesterday. The people are not scared; everybody rushed to where there was confrontation with security forces. Since Mandalay is a city with a lot of motorcycles and people on bikes rushed to places where the crowds swelled leading to jams.
    The Mya Taung monastery on the 35th Street was blocked but now security has been extended to the 36 th. Earlier one side use to be open but now it is blocked on both sides. In Zegyo area, the situation is normal and no blocking of roads is in evidence. But there is security on the 38th and 39th streets. And on the 84th street and towards Phayagyi there are soldiers on guard. But yesterday they opened it in the evening. The curfew is from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Since monks from the big monasteries could not come out, people gathered in the least expected areas.
    It is important to see what Mr. Ibarhim Gambari will do. But we cannot depend too much on the UN, because they are just doing things in diplomatic way. Each time they come they only condemn or urge and nothing much happens. So, we are only hoping and praying that the situation in Mandalay will not get worse like in Rangoon.

    12:30 p.m.
    As witnessed by a local resident
    "They are patrolling all over Mandalay town. The commander is leading the patrol. There are about 10 trucks doing the rounds. They stopped at 84th Street and requested the monks there to remain inside the monastery."
    The commander requested monks in Mya Taung and Ma Soe Yein Monasteries not to come out.
    "They are from the 33 regiment. More fire engines are positioned near the monasteries. Monks in the monasteries said they saw some troops who looked like Chinese or Wa troops taking up positions near the monasteries. There are about 300 soldiers."
    "They drove off to the 84th Street. There were about ten to twelve trucks."
