Myanmar Court Refuses to Prosecute Govt Officials

YANGON (Oct. 29) XINHUA - The Myanmar Supreme Court has rejected a case
filed 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 a court document issued here Friday evening, supreme court
judge Tin Aung Aye heard earlier on Friday the case filed by U Aung
Shwe, NLD chairman and three other NLD central executive members U Than
Tun, U Tun Tin and U Lwin, who are also elected parliament
representatives in the 1990 general election. 

The charges filed against the director-general of the Myanmar National
Bureau of Intelligence, Home Minister Colonel Tin Hlaing and 27 other
officials, produced no sufficient evidence, the document said. 

The court decided that no investigation will be further carried out
concerning the case, the document said. 

Meanwhile, the NLD said in an announcement Friday that the party will
seek other channels in accordance with law to insist on the prosecution
of the officials.
