A man reads out a statement during a protest by Buddhist monks in support of demonstrators who were injured during a copper mine riot, in Yangon December 12, 2012. Hundreds of Buddhist monks took to the streets of several cities and towns in Myanmar on Wednesday to protest against police violence during a crackdown on demonstrators at a copper mine last month. At least 50 people were injured on November 29, including more than 20 monks who suffered serious burns, when riot police raided camps set up round the Monywa copper mine by villagers protesting against their eviction to make way for a $1 billion expansion of the project.
