Marchers gather in Dublin to support Burma protestors

Over 300 people have gathered in Dublin City centre this afternoon in a show of solidarity with pro-democracy campaigners in Burma.

Communication networks in and out of Burma have reportedly been shut down following 11 days of protests led by the country's Buddhist monks.

The UN's special envoy has travelled to Burma today in an effort to persuade the military regime to end the violence against the protestors.

Nine people have died so far in the violence.
