Over 100 Monks Gather To Protest In Myanmar

 CBS News Interactive: CBS News Interactive: About Burma AKA Myanmar

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) ― More than 100 Buddhist monks marched in northern Myanmar for nearly an hour Wednesday, chanting prayers for the first time since a crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations, two monks confirmed.

The monks started their march at Shwegu Pagoda in Pakokku, a center for Buddhist learning with more than 80 monasteries located about 390 miles northwest of Yangon, the country's commercial center.

They marched without incident, two monks said in telephone interviews, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
