>    2. Infiltrate the protesting groups by pretending to be monks and

>       and then instigitating violence from within through such pretension
>    3. Offer poisoned foods as alms (Dana)
>    4. Arresting and beating up people or persons who offers food and
>       water (dana) to the monks
>    5. Arresting the protesting monks and treating them like criminals,
>       such as catching the monks by lariats and ropes, tying them up

>       their cheeks, kicking them with military boots and hitting their
>       heads with rifle butts.
