Myanmar Court Accepts Prosecution Against GOV'T Officials

YANGON (Sept. 29) XINHUA - The Myanmar Supreme Court Tuesday accepted
the prosecution by the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD)
against some high-ranking government officials for their alleged abuse
of power in cracking down on the NLD. 

According to the court document, NLD filed charge against the
director-general of the Myanmar National Bureau of Intelligence, Home
Minister Colonel Tin Hlaing and 27 other officials. 

It has been the first time for the Myanmar Supreme Court to accept
prosecution cases of its kind filed by the opposition party since the
1990 general election and the formation of the party in late 1988.
