Thirteen pro-democracy activists have been arrested in Burma after participating in a rare public protest. Burma’s military junta accused the activists of undermining stability and security of the nation for participating in a series of protests against rising fuel costs and deteriorating living conditions in Burma. The arrested activists included Min Ko Naing and at least six other leaders of a 1988 student-led uprising.
