Security forces in Burma continued their campaign of intimidation as they cracked down on protesters demanding the return of the elected government. Local media reported that police also used rubber bullets on the crowd and that a few people were injured. The authorization was based on "heightened potential for violence, continued telecommunications restrictions, and limited flights out of Burma," according to a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Burma. "The Burmese military has detained and deposed elected government officials," the statement read. When the military seized power, it detained Suu Kyi and members of her government and prevented recently elected lawmakers from opening a new session of Parliament.
