KNU Wants Constitution Change, Talks With Karen Political Parties
A Karen National Union (KNU) delegation led by its chairman General Mutu Say Poe met recently with Karen political parties in Hpa-an to discuss plans it has for amendments to Burma’s contentious 2008 Constitution.
The KNU delegation met with the Phalon Sawaw Democratic Party (PSDP), the Karen People Party (KPP), Karen State Development Party (PSDP) and Karen Democratic Party (KDP) on August 28 to discuss how they will push for amendments to Burma’s 2008 Constitution – a broad range of pro democratic activists, human rights advocates and the international community criticized it as a sham constitution that favors and gives parliamentary control to the current military-backed government.
