Burmese authorities block opposition HQ
The authorities in Burma have blocked roads leading to the headquarters of
the opposition National League for Democracy as the party prepares to mark
its eleventh anniversary.

Witnesses said riot police had set up a blockade to divert traffic and limit
attendance at a low-key ceremony to mark the anniversary.

It's the third time in less than a month that the authorities have tried to
restrict access to the party's headquarters. The National League for
Democracy won a landslide victory in general elections in 1990, but the
military has never allowed it to take power.
