Buddhist monks who initially led the protests, turning out on the streets in their thousands, were nowhere to be seen 29 September, 2007 after a brutal campaign of arrests, bashings and monastery raids which has shocked the country. A special United Nations envoy was due in Myanmar 29 September after the crackdown on protesters, with the US calling on the ruling junta to allow him to meet with democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
