Junta threatens to dissolve NLD Information Minister Brig-Gen Kyaw Hsan on April 26 accused the
National League for Democracy of having links with terrorist
groups and exiled dissident organizations. The minister also

Myanmar's junta goes for the kill
Myanmar's military rulers have
launched a major new crackdown on the country's main opposition
National League for Democracy (NLD) party, fueling widespread
speculation that the hardline State Peace and Development
Council (SPDC) intends to eliminate its harassed and beleaguered
rival completely within the next 12 months.
Can NLD tide over current crackdown?
Burma’s main opposition parties, NLD and SNLD are facing more
crackdowns and pressures from the authorities nowadays. Party
members are reportedly forced to resign and some are said to be
bribed.
A SENSE OF ASIA, Burma madness: The psychomystery continues
For a half century nobody has paid much attention
to Burma. Even geographers yawned when the thugs running the
place renamed it Myanmar. It’s not that Burma couldn’t be
important. |
Conditions in Burma
As a result
of the Burmese military regime's blatant disregard for human
rights, its intolerance of dissent, and its ongoing efforts to
perpetuate military rule, prospects for meaningful political
change and reform continued to decline over the past six months.

Uneasy lies the crown in Myanmar
As Myanmar's reclusive ruling military junta
moves toward more isolationism, its senior generals are moving
to re-establish something akin to the country's long-abolished
monarchy to shore up their lagging legitimacy. As the new palace
walls go up, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) has
stepped up its persecution of foreign organizations operating in
the country. |
BURMA Freedom Supporters TO RALLY
outside of San Francisco Federal Building/House Democratic Leader Office calling FOR US Immediate and effective actions against On Going
crackdown on Aung San Suu Kyi, NLD and opposition forces in Burma.
Why:
Concerned Burma freedom activists rally outside of
San Francisco Federal Building marking the 16th
anniversary of the 1990 Burma’s general election in which Aung San
Suu Kyi’s party, National League for Democracy (NLD) won a land
slide victory. Instead of power being handed over, Suu Kyi and her
party have been repeatedly harassed, attacked, and leaders were
rendered incommunicado for years. On May 30, 2003, the regime
ambushed her envoy and kidnapped her/followers – the incident was
known as Depeyin Massacre in which hundreds were killed. The world
has not heard from her since then nor has it known her true
condition. Now, far from releasing her, the regime is even
threatening to outlaw her party, the election-winning NLD. Some fear
for her life. Join us in calling for the U.S. and U.N. to take
immediate and effective measures to stop the ongoing crackdown on
Suu Kyi, her party (the NLD), and all other opposition forces in
Burma.
