Copper Mine Protest Earns Nationwide Support [Burma]

Protesters at Monywa’s Letpadaung mountain range have been joined by activists from Rangoon and Mandalay plus members of the 88 Generation Students group in their bid to halt copper mining in the area...which they claim has led to environmental destruction, forced relocations and illegal land confiscations...1,500 people [marched] to demand the release of three female activists who were detained at prayer meeting...[T]he protesters had three demands—the release of current detainees, no more detention of protesters and the postponement of the copper project until some level of agreement has been reached. [refers to Wan Bao Mining, Union of Myanmar Economics Holding]
