Myanmar democracy campaigners to form new party

Saturday, 8 May 2010


YANGON, May 7: Myanmar democracy campaigners said Friday they would form a new party after opposition icon Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy was abolished by the junta ahead of rare elections. At least 25 senior figures in the disbanded NLD have signed up to the unnamed party, to advance the movement's two-decade campaign to end military rule.— AFP
