The rulers did everything short of
actual fraud to ensure its candidates a
victory, but Aung San Suu Kyi
(pronounced Soo Chee) and her
National League for Democracy (NLD)
swept the elections with 80 percent of
the vote. The result surprised and
enraged the regime. It annulled the
election, imprisoned perhaps 3,000
NLD activists and placed Suu Kyi
under house arrest.
