In 2007, Al Jazeera went undercover in Myanmar to report on monks' protests and the resulting crackdown by the military.
Back in 2007, the people of Myanmar were still living under harsh military rule. Among the first major international news stories Al Jazeera covered was the Myanmar government's brutal crackdown on peacefully protesting monks.
News reaching the outside world at that time was scarce. But Al Jazeera correspondent Tony Birtley was one of the few international journalists who had managed to get into the country, and was able to film the unfolding events while working undercover at the very heart of the protests.
Ten years later, Yangon-based journalist Fiona MacGregor tells REWIND how the story has moved on.
