NLD Statement 87/2000

Description: 

"...4. In accordance with the democratic principle that sovereign power lies with the people, and in conformity with multi-party democratic elections procedure, the people elected their representatives freely and fairly. The military authorities published the results of the elections naming the electorates and the political parties of the successful candidates. 5. Albeit, the military dictators are now illegally and unjustifiably instigating and orchestrating nonconfidence demonstrations against the NLD elected representatives. The people today are in dire straits, socially and educationally. Fear has been steeped into their minds by the military authorities and they have been compelled to assemble in violation of the laws that are in force. 6. The National League for Democracy desires to know which section of the Pyithu Hluttaw Election Law provides for these assemblies and demonstrations through intimidation and coercion. There is no mention of "loss of confidence " in the said law..."
