The Hope of Burma

Walks of Life
Buddhist monks stroll through Rangoon, Burma's largest city. Though many monks wander the streets freely, authorities often threaten crackdowns. In 2007, after a monk-led uprising, many monks were seized, beaten or exiled to Thailand. On November 7, Burma will hold its first elections in almost 20 years. Monks will not be allowed to vote.
