At least 20 student leaders were arrested in Myanmar Saturday on the eve of a rally to commemorate a crackdown on a student movement, an activist said, in the biggest wave of arrests since the dissolution of the junta.
"Apart from those five arrested in Yangon... five student activists (were arrested) in Shwebo, six in Mandalay, four in Lashio," Thet Zaw, one of the leaders of a student uprising in 1988 that was brutally suppressed, told AFP.
