Sun reporter Nick Parker describes his detention by Burmese police in the Irrawaddy delta:
We were scarcely five miles into the devastated landscape when we were ambushed by police. We were ushered into an office where an immigration officer was waiting with pen poised.He seized our passports and began noting details as a podgy policeman appeared and barked in English: "No foreigners."
Moments later a plain-clothed policeman began photographing us. He said in broken English: "You cannot travel further down this road. It is a research area. Turn back or you will be punished."
