Burma detains monk who led 2007 Saffron uprising

Authorities went after Gambira after he ignored a summons to report for
questioning, the official said.

Gambira had also publicly voiced scepticism about the new government’s
commitment to democratic reforms.

His detention comes amid widespread international attention on Burma, where
the new nominally civilian government has drawn cautious praise.

The US
and European
Union
have called the progress positive steps forward but say they
will be closely watching an upcoming April by-election before deciding
whether to lift sanctions that were imposed during military rule.
