Demo outside Myanmar Embassy 

KUALA LUMPUR: Some 20 people, claiming to be Myanmar refugees, staged a
short and peaceful demonstration outside the Myanmar Embassy in Jalan
Ampang here yesterday.

They claimed the demonstration was to commemorate the 11th anniversary of a
bloody student uprising in Myanmar.

They handed over a memorandum to embassy security guards before dispersing.

Group spokesman Mohammad Sayed said the memorandum, among others, urged the
Myanmar government to release all political prisoners and recognise the
result of the country's 1990 general election.--Bernama
