Following the military regime’s plan to dissolve the National League for Democracy (NLD) party, Myanmar’s detained leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has said that the NLD will be there as long as the people are because the party was founded for the people.
Last Friday, the junta-appointed Union Election Commission chairman U Thein Soe said the NLD “must be abolished” for alleged voter fraud in last November’s election. He also threatened action against “traitors” involved.
