The Burmese military junta authorities sealed a pro-opposition Buddhist monastery in Rangoon yesterday.
The township chairman and security forces arrived at the Sasana Theikpan monastery compound of Chauk Htut Gyi pagoda, Bahan Township on Friday morning and told monks they would close the monastery until an official announcement by the new head of monastery was made.
Security forces told the monks that they had come with an order from the Rangoon military commander Brigadier General Hla Htay Win.
