Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is very concerned about the news that Venerable U Uttara, a leading religious and political leader of Burmese community in UK, and other five monks, who have been detained in Ta-mwe police station in Burma are forcefully disrobed to change monkhood to layman. Venerable U Uttara and monks have been caretaking at Penang Sayadaw’s Maharthandithukha monastery when Burmese government and police forces raided and detained monks there. We earnestly demand Burmese government to release immediately and unconditionally Venerable U Uttara and monks who have been detained. (Original news source: U Khin Mg Win AP)
