Hundreds of Buddhist monks flee two major towns in eastern Myanmar, joining thousands of people recently displaced by fighting between the military and rebel groups opposed to last year's coup
A military power-grab 11 months ago has sparked protests and a subsequent crackdown that has killed more than 1,400 people.
A Buddhist monk told AFP News Agency around 30 monasteries had been abandoned on Sunday — an unusual sight in a nation where holy men are revered and temples are considered safe havens. The monk, among roughly 5,000 people who have fled Loikaw to eastern Shan state, said 12 monasteries in nearby Demoso town had also been emptied.
