YANGON: Police in Myanmar scuffled on Saturday with dozens of followers of the ultra-nationalist monk Ashin Wirathu at a demonstration calling for him to be put on trial more than two months after he surrendered to face sedition charges.
Protesters, many of them Buddhist monks, gathered outside the Insein Prison, where Wirathu has been held since November.
