Singapore (AHN) - The largest Burmese Buddhist temple in Singapore closed its doors Friday to activists who have been using it as a venue and even as a mailing address as they protest human rights violations and call for democracy in Myanmar.

Participants clad in red T-shirts have been holding massive prayer sessions at the temple, distributing pro-democracy leaflets, since the ruling junta in Myanmar cracked down on peaceful protesters in September, the Bangkok Post reported.
