Students at Brown University marched on campus today to show solidarity with protests in Myanmar, also known as Burma, against the ruling military government. Former U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee, now a visiting fellow at the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown, was among the speakers.

Security forces first moved against the anti-government protesters on Wednesday, when the first of 10 deaths was reported. Images of bloodied protesters and fleeing crowds have riveted world attention on the escalating crisis, prompting many governments to urge the junta in Myanmar to end the violence.
