Illegal junta is talking about lega

[panyoma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

What a pathetic joke that Burmese junta is talking about legal action
against Daw Suu on the ground of Law Number 5/96.Which states  prohibition
individuals or organisations from "
disturbing,destroying,obstructing,inciting and ... bla...bla...bla .. to
the currently drafting Constitution.

The junta do not have the mandate whatsoever in the first place to make
that piece of  law,Law Number. 5/96, and again it has no power at all to
execute the Act.

 Without a mandate,yet the junta is drawing up a constitution which started
in 1993 and up until now,5 entire years, reaches nowhere  is  the most dumb
act that I have ever experienced in my whole life.

Now what hopes have people got to believe them that they can bring even a
miracle kind of prosperous country in a not- so- near- future. " The god
must be crazy."

After all, the Burmese juta is about to play an another sick tune to the
world.
And hope this time the world do not dance along.
