I have to disagree -- I think it is valuable to be able to read what SLORC
is saying, whether it is true or not.  Most of us can judge for ourselves
-- and I feel it is more valuable to understand SLORC and their tactics.

Please keep 'em coming (at a reasonable rate!)

     Ko Okkar,
     
     Where are you getting these information? It seems like you are getting 
     them from New Light of Myanmar Newspaper (SLORC's propaganda tool). 
     Everyone knows these news are not true, so please stop posting them. 
     The whole country is fighting for Democracy and nobody cares about the 
     traffic jam. So many patriots (Aunty Su, Students, Monks, Workers, 
     etc..) are risking their lives for the country which is nothing to 
     compare with traffic jam complaint coming from SLORC's family. Shame 
     on them.

No.A-0022                                                                       
           Date.18-2-97
     
(1)     The National League for Democracy has been without much 
success trying to hold week-end rallies in public places which has 
met with opposition by local citizens and religious associations Mrs. 
Aris along with her senior party leaders U Tin Oo, U Kyi Maung 
had attempted several times to hold afternoon week-end rallies at 
the junction of Saya San and U Chit Maung Road. The people living 
along this junction were very much disturbed by Mrs. Aris's 
week-end rallies which not only causes traffic jam on the public 
road but also interfered with their daily life. Finally, it came to the 
stage where the ward people of the junction area themselves came 
out to prohibit Mrs. Aris from holding rallies and had also put out 
their own citizens patrols to prevent the NLD from coming into their 
wards during week-end afternoons.
     
(2)     The NLD being unsuccessful in holding week-end rallies at 
the Saya San and U Chit Maung Road junction attempted to hold 
rallies on the Shwe Dagon Pagoda* platform under various 
pretexts. In this regard, the shop-keepers of the (4) stairways of the 
pagoda and (63) religious associations base on the pagoda signed a 
petition urging the NLD to stop exploiting the pagoda premises as a 
political platform. On behalf of shop-keepers and religious 
associations on the 16th of Feb. the Shwe Dagon Pagoda Trustees 
handed over the petition to the NLD group leader who came up to 
the pagoda platform and they also sent the petition to the NLD 
Headquarters and to the Chairman of Yangon Division NLD office it 
is learnt.
     
*Shwe Dagon Pagoda
The ancient sacred Buddhist religious monument which has been in 
existence over 2500 years.
     
(3)     On the 14th of Feb. 1997, the Myanmar Anti-Narcotics Task 
Force intercepted a motor vehicle on the Kyukoke/Pansai/Mong 
Koe road, (North-East Shan State). This vehicle was found to be 
carrying 56.35 kilos of heroin and the two persons in the vehicle are 
one Myanmar national and one Chinese national from Yunan 
Province. Necessary legal actions will be taken against the two it is  
learnt.
