BURMESE REGIME EASES LATEST RESTRICTIONS ON NLD OPPOSITION Tuesday 3 June,
1997 (1:01am AEST)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Burma's military regime is reported to have ended its latest crackdown on
supporters of pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
The A-F-P news agency says the SLORC has begun releasing supporters of her
National League for Democracy party who were detained over the past two weeks.
The government had been attempting to prevent an N-L-D party congress
scheduled for last week.
The easing of restrictions coincided with the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations's weekend decision to set July as the date for Burma's full admission
to the regional grouping.+++
