We, at AAPP can confirm the following political activists were arrested after the junta cracked down on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's entourage during her trip to Upper Burma. We have received inside reports that hundreds more political activists and pro-democracy supporters have been arrested. Several died during the physical attack against the entourage. We are seriously concerned about the conditions for the detainees who were injured during the assault, due to reports that they are being denied the necessary medical care.
