Burmese Buddhist monks participate in a protest outside the Myanmar embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka, May 27, 2008. Non-government organizations and Myanmar monks studying in Sri Lanka organized the protest to condemn the military junta's rule as well as to demand for the release of detained opposition leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi, with today being the expiration of her latest year-long stretch of house arrest.
