SUU KYI DENIES SHE IS DICTATORIAL

YANGONG (Reuter) Myanmar democracy leader Aung San
Suu Kyi denied government accusations that she has be-
come dictatorial in her running of the National League for
Democracy party.

"There is no practice of dictatorship in the NLD party," the
Nobel Peace laureate told supporters late on Saturday.

Suu Kyi's remark was made after official, state-run
Myanmar-language newspapers carried a commentary
asking her to step down because she had become dictatorial.

In the commentary titled "Give up little sister," Suu Kyi was
accused of ignoring the will of the people in her leadership
of the pro - democracy party.
