Dozens of protesters gathered Monday at Myanmar's embassy in Tel Aviv to protest the recent crackdown on dissidents by the country's military government.

The protesters, most of them Myanmar nationals working in Israel, carried signs reading "Stop killing civilians" and "Demolish the military government in Burma," and called on the regime to free student leaders and political prisoners jailed for their part in demonstrations.

"We are against the military government," said protester Aungo Naing Win. "The junta," he said, "has arrested political prisoners, demonstrators, Buddhist monks...everybody."
