In Burma, state media has said that 2,093 people were arrested during the crackdown on the protests. 
It said 692 people had already been released after signing a declaration that they would not take part in any future rallies.
However, BBC sources in Burma say as many as 10,000 people - many of them monks who led the marchers - have been rounded up for interrogation in recent days.
Dozens are feared to have died during the suppression of the protests, which were triggered by a government decision to raise the price of fuel.
Residents of the main city, Rangoon, say the streets are now quiet during daylight hours, with the police and army keeping a low profile.
But during the overnight curfew, they say raids by the security forces continue.
