Letter dated 2 December 1998 from the Chairman of the National League 
for Democracy to the Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council

BEGIN   	
" Subject-- Objection to the news item appearing on page 16  
(2 December 1998) of the Myanmar Alin newspaper with the caption " 
Moulmeingyun township NLD - dissolved" 

1. The fact that all the daily newspapers published in Myanmar are 
rigidly monitored and completely under the control of the authorities 
cannot be denied by anyone.

2. In the Myanmar Alin daily newspaper (2 December 1998) the news about 
the Irrawaddy Division is captioned "Moulmeingyun township NLD 
dissolved". The contents of the article relates only to resignations of 
the membership.

3. It is observed that the caption does not accurately describe the 
situation as set out in the text of the article. This is a reflection of 
the deliberate mean and vindictive attitude of the publication for which 
the controlling authorities will have to take full responsibility. 

4. The National League for Democracy strongly protests such 
publications"

Executive Committee
