As a follow up reaction to the previous blog about Burma, a lone protestor was arrested by police on Friday, March 27.
A private tutor, Aung Phe, stood outside the office of the National League for Democracy for over five hours from 6 a.m. - 11 a.m. and was arrested by Twante Township police.
Police did not comment nor did articles cover why Aung Phe was protesting. It is interesting to note that although a group protest was held in peace, one protestor was arrested for reasons unknown. Although the protestor was not shouting slogans or causing a ruckus, unidentified specifics of the incident could explain the arrest. Regardless, this suggests instability within the Burmese government rules and officials making arrests.
