Representatives
of the People elected to the Parliament in the 1990
multiparty democratic elections
(Committee Representing People's Parliament)
CRPP
Notification 9/1999
Note- (addendum to Notifications 3(1/99) and 5(2/99)
1. The highly respected U Lun Tin, member of the NLD, a legally constituted
organisation, and the legally elected representative of Mon State, Moulmein
township, Constituency N0:1 was voted in by the free choice of the people.
By means of threats and intimidation, the authorities now are using the
innocent people as chopping blocks to remove him as a People's Parliament
representative alleging loss of confidence.
2. The authorities that decreed the Political Parties Registration Law
and the Pyithu Hluttaw( People's Parliament) Law are now themselves contravening
the provisions contained in those laws by all the illegal measures that
they are taking against the central executive committee members of the
NLD and the elected People's Parliament representatives. The action they
are taking is ultra vires the provisions of the said two laws.
3 Under the leadership of our martyred leader General Aung San, U Lun
Tin, a Mon leader, fought for the country's independence first by taking
up arms and later appropriately by adopting political means. He is respectable
and honourable. He never once resorted to armed rebellion. As a commanding
officer in the Army he performed his duties satisfactorily. How can he
ever be accused of "being a traitor?"
4. According to official records, U Lun Tin obtained 39624 votes (77.29%)
to be their People's Parliament representative.
5. As regards U Than Tun, some writers have written in praise of him that
" In every era he has worked for good".
6. (a) The People's Parliament representatives who were elected in the
free and fair elections in May 1990 can not be accused of not fulfilling
their obligations to the electorate when the authorities have refused
outright to convene the People's Parliament. (b) The representatives have
not been able to visit their constituencies because of obstacles and prohibitions
placed by the authorities.
7. Furthermore, personal attacks that should not be indulged in. It is
the reputation of the people who cast aspersions that will suffer not
the people who are defamed.
8. Making innocent and honest people perform dishonest and illegal activities
by the authorities will surely be detrimental to the country. This flouting
of the law will become a habit and ingrained in the people.
