BURMA DEMOCRACY STAND AFP 27/6




Friday  June 27  1997

                Burma 
                     Democracy stand 

                AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE in Rangoon 
                Aung San Suu Kyi has told a US delegation that
                her political party would only participate in a
                convention to frame a new Burmese constitution if
                the convention were more democratic.

                Burma's official press on Tuesday said the National
                League for Democracy was sending out signals that
                it wanted to re-enter the convention.

                The ruling junta expelled the party from the
                convention in late 1995 after it launched a boycott
                to protest at clauses granting extraordinary powers
                to the Army.
