Abstract
Burma's “Saffron Revolution”, and the brutal military crackdown which followed it, brought the world's attention to this closed and troubled country. The Buddhist monks and nuns who led the movement have called for dialogue, democracy, and human rights. But they also called on the junta to address the initial spark of the uprising: the five-fold increase in the cost of gas, the doubling of diesel prices, and the two-thirds increases in petrol costs imposed by the junta on Aug 19, 2007. Burma's people were already in desperate straights before these price hikes.
