On Oct. 18th. Ashin Kovida, a Buddhist monk in Thailand escaped from twenty one days in hiding. Fleeing from the pursing Burmese military, Kovida is considered to be one of the main organizers of the September pro democracy protests which gripped the world as monks and citizens lined the streets of Yangoon. Considered a "wanted man" by the Burmese military, Kovida has sought refuge across the border in Thailand.
Now, a week after his escape, Kovida has begun offering the world his insightful knowledge of the historic protests.
