YANGON, Mar 23 (AFP): Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said Tuesday she will 'never accept' her party registering for elections this year because laws governing the polls are unjust, according to her lawyer.
Under rules laid down by the ruling junta, the detained democracy icon faces exclusion from her National League for Democracy (NLD) if it registers for the polls, because parties with serving prisoners in their ranks will be dissolved.
Suu Kyi "says she will never accept registration under unjust law, but her personal opinion is not to give orders nor instructions to the NLD," her lawyer Nyan Win said.
