Apr 19 (DVB) - The National League for Democracy (NLD) welcomed the reopening of its head office in Rangoon but it also demanded Burma’s military junta, State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to reopen all the remaining offices throughout the country.
U Lwin, the spokesman of NLD who was recently released told DVB in an interview that all the offices were closed down simultaneously when 30 May Dipeyin incident occurred and he insisted they should also be reopened simultaneously. Moreover, he demanded the authorities to allow an independent enquiry commission to investigate the incident.
When asked about the so-called
‘National Convention’ to be organised by the junta on 17 May, he
insisted that the NLD would not attend it, if it is to be reconvened like before
without making amendments to the 104
restricting rules and regulations.
He also criticised the ‘Bangkok Process’ for Burma which has been organised by the Thai government as veering away from the original UN resolutions on Burma.
