won overwhelmingly by the National League for Democracy,
but nullified by the military junta, SLORC.  Burmese Relief
Center -- Japan is commemorating the occasion with a call for
the restoration of democracy in the country, under the
leadership of  the winner of the elections, Nobel Peace Prize

There are currently more than 100,000 Burmese students and

suffer from malaria and shortages of food and medicine.  Last

supplies.
