A crowd of tens of thousands of people led by Buddhist monks wound up their latest protest march Tuesday afternoon with a vow to continue demonstrating daily against Myanmar's military government despite orders to stay off the streets. The demonstrators ended their march around 5 p.m. where it began, at the golden hilltop Shwedagon Pagoda. A monk who appeared to be one of their leaders addressed the crowd and said the protests would continue until the government apologized for mistreatment of monks at an earlier demonstration in northern Myanmar. The anti-government protests that began over a month ago have turned into the biggest demonstrations since a failed 1988 pro-democracy uprising, the Associated Press reported.
