BURMA'S MILITARY AGAIN STOPS OPPOSITION PARTY'S ACTIVITIES.
***********************************************************
Burma's military government is again using force to curtail
pro-Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's political activities.
Evan Williams reports.
Dozens of riot police surrounded a township party office to
stop Suu Kyi from entering, but party chiefs had already
called off the Democracy leader's visit after a recent
two-hours stand-off. Now Burma's SLORC regime has
issued a detailed attack on Suu KYi, saying her rigid and
uncompromising stance towards authorities is creating
unnecessary setbacks for the country's military led
transition towards democracy.Her confrontational line has
forced the government to necessary measures it says to
maintain stability. The regime was furious when Suu Kyi
recently stopped top party officials from meeting top
SLORC intelligence chief, General Kin Yunt,saying talks
had to include the Nobel laureate. Her movement and
contacts have been increasingly restricted for months.
