Over the past two weeks, hundreds of people have taken part in some of the largest demonstrations held in Burma in a decade.

The protests were sparked by the military regime’s decision to raise fuel prices by 500 per cent. In response, the regime has launched a severe crackdown on protestors. Over 150 people have been arrested, including almost all the leading pro-democracy activists, and demonstrators have been savagely attacked by police and pro-junta mobs.

The following is a list of statements made by governments and NGOs about the crackdown:
