Notification No 13(2/99)


1.	We have received information that those who now have authority are 
making preparations to adopt the usual unlawful tactics by using 
innocent and simple people to denounce U Hla Pe, the legitimate NLD 
People's Parliament representative of Irrawaddy Division, Moul-mein-gyun 
Township, Constituency 1 on the 28 February 1999.

they are unlawful activities outside the provision of law and we urge 
that they be halted. We reiterated that instructions to do what is wrong 
and evil should not be given or encouraged.

3. 	In connection with this matter the original report received by us is 
reproduced below for the information of everyone.

(3)	A summary and examination of the illegal methods employed by the 
USDA to denounce U Hla Pe in his legimate standing as a People's 
Parliament Representataive shows that:

a)	In Constituency 1, the electorate acted out of fear of impending 
danger (the nearest knife) and not out of free will and desire.
b)	We have heard that those who compiled with the instructions still 
hold firm to their original convictions in their hearts.
c)	In some villages and wards there are people who have recently become 
residents who did not participate in the 1990 elections. The household 
cards they hold are not genuine.
d)	In cases where senior household members were absent due to work or 
otherwise, youths of 17 and 18 years had to stand in and put their 
signatures as representing the household.
e)	Even in cases where a senior person signed for and on behalf of the 
household, the consent of every inmate was assumed.
f)	Those people who stood loyally for U Hla Pe refused entry to the USDA 
members.
g)	Some people responded by saying that they had previously voted for U 
Hla Pe and saw no reason to withdraw their support now.

(4) 	Information about USDA's plans for future operations.

a)	Our information is that this township USDA schedule (withdrawal of 
support) will be placed before Myaungmya district commission for
