CRPP Notification 16 in English



Committee representing members of People's Parliament elected in the 
1990 multi-party general elections (Committee representing People's 
Parliament)

Notification No 16 ( 3/99)

1.	In the May 1990 multiparty general elections, U Lwin contested as the 
NLD candidate in Constituency No 1, Thong-gwa Township, Rangoon Division 
and was wholeheartedly returned which indicated the people's unfettered 
wishes and demonstrated that sovereignty lies with the people- a basic 
democratic principle.

2.	U Lwin was returned with 18189 indisputable votes (68.11%) and was 
declared the legitimate People's Parliament Representative by the 
Multiparty Elections Commission. Therefore his position as a NLD 
People's Parliament Representative endures.

3.	U Lwin is a man of good repute. He has genuine love for his country 
and was personally involved in the many stages of the fight for 
independence. He served in  the Army in high and responsible positions 
up to 1980 and held the position of Deputy Prime Minister in the 
administration.

4.	He accepted the duties of Secretary in the legitimately constituted 
National League for Democracy out of his desire to achieve democracy and 
human rights for the people and despite failing health he performs with 
determination and courage.

5.	Information that has reached us is that the Military Intelligence who 
control and have power are planning to stage an illegal demonstration in 
this month of March against U Lwin forcing and coercing the USDA as 
their mouthpiece to shout stupid and senseless slogans of "non 
confidence and non support". These activities are illegal and unjust and 
have not been prescribed in the law for the fornmation of Political 
Parties or in the People's Parliament Election Law.

6.	U Lwin's constituency has been divided into 8 administrative units, 
each unit covering 8 to 10 village tracts. We have information that one 
of these village tracts where the authorities and the USDA(with  not 
political agenda) have managed to take control is being used as a base 
for these illegal operations.

7.	We urge the powerful Military Intelligence and the USDA not to use 
the hardworking people who are peacefully struggling to make a living in 
these kind of illegal activities. The National League for Democracy 
firmly believes and understands that it is not the desire of the people 
to participate in these unlawful demonstrations.
