Burma quick update April 20, 2012

http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/2822 U Gambira, 2007 Saffron Revolution veteran monk who was recently released, has nowhere to stay as monasteries too afraid to harbor him, and so he has been forced to disrobe and stay with relatives as have other recently released monks and nuns. Is this "change" "freedom" "reform" or "democracy"? Daw Suu and NLD are now negotiating pledge wording for "parliament" "protect" vs "respect and obey" (junta likes this) she has to leave Nobel Elders and has said she will visit Norway and UK (Oxford) in June. kmk
