Amnesty International has condemned the continuing arrests of political activists inside Burma despite what it says was the government's pledge to stop.
The London-based rights group on Tuesday published details of the arrest of several activists since early November.
Amnesty says Burmese Prime Minister Thein Sein made a commitment to Ibrahim Gambari to halt the arrests when the U.N. special envoy met with him earlier this month.
Burmese officials say 15 people were killed and nearly three-thousand detained in the September crackdown. Diplomats and human rights groups say the figures are much higher.
Also Tuesday, a British academic organization gave Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi a lifetime achievement award.
She has spent 12 of the last 18 years under some form of detention and remains under house arrest in Rangoon.
