Aung San Suu Kyi not allowed to participate in the NLD function
Rangoon, May 27, 2001

Leader of the Burmese democratic movement Aung San Suu Kyi was not
allowed to take part in her party function today, which celebrates the
NLD?s victory in the general elections held eleven years ago, sources in
Rangoon said.
The National League for Democracy (NLD) won a landslide victory in the
1990 elections, winning more than 82 percent of the parliamentary seats.
However, the military government refuses to recognize the result of the
elections. More than a thousand political prisoners and over a thirty
Members of Parliament remain jailed while the regime continues to
violate fundamental rights of the people including using the people for
forced labor throughout the country.
To mark the 11th anniversary of the general lections, the NLD held a
low-profile ceremony this morning at its headquarters in Shwegondine,
Bahan Township in the capital. Most of the NLD leaders and their
supporters participated in the function. However, Aung San Suu Kyi did
not participate in the function. ?Daw Suu was not allowed to participate
(by the authorities)?, said the source close to NLD.
In the function, there was no discussion on the current ?talks? between
Aung San Suu Kyi and the Burmese regime. Some sources say that the NLD
will issue an official announcement on the ?talks? on coming June 19,
Aung San Suu Kyi?s birthday.
The military junta and Aung San Suu Kyi have been reportedly holding
?talks? since October last year but both sides remain silent on the
details and development of the talks.
