 YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - Hundreds of demonstrating Buddhist monks marched past barricades to the home of Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, raising pressure on the junta by symbolically uniting their growing protest movement with the icon of Myanmar's long struggle for democracy.
The two strands of the escalating opposition to Myanmar's military government came together on a tree-lined Yangon street after police unexpectedly let more than 500 monks and other protesters through a roadblock.
Suu Kyi has been seen only by a handful of guards, servants and her doctors for more than four years.
