I Have No Shame, Only Pride Said Mother Of Leading Monk

(Naw Sei Paw, DVB)

Daw Yay (Yei) , the mother of the leading monk U Gambiya who was arrested on 4th Novermber, said she can only feel proud of her noble son and his colleagues' act - protesting for freedom. 'They are not doing it for themselves, nor their families. They are doing it for others. Being monks, all they ever need is an urn but nothing else. I am just a proud mother of a son, who is willing to give life for the benefit of ohers.'

(An urn is a black round lacquerware bowl, monks hold to go around to accept offering of food.)
