About 50 monks who took part in Myanmar's 2007 Saffron Revolution -- monk-led demonstrations that were brutally crushed by the army -- march alongside hundreds of protesters from the Nga Htat Gyi pagoda to the UN office in Yangon.

Myanmar's generals imposed a second straight overnight internet shutdown, ignoring international condemnation as they worked to grind down a popular uprising against their coup.
