The Monks Alliance has urged Burma’s State Sangha Council to investigate about the situation of the monks who were killed or detained after September protests in Burma.

The Alliance, who are believed to be an underground religious body, demands the State Sangha Council to be a responsible body.

A spokesperson of the Alliance said the official Council is formed with elected monks and it should speak out the truth.

Burmese government said no monk was killed during the crackdown and faked monks were responsible for the unrest.
