 IMPHAL, Sept 10: A British national, identified as
Rachel Goldwyn (28), was arrested by the Myanmar
authority at Rangoon for singing a pro-democracy song
and chanting slogans, according to information
reaching here yesterday. The All Burma Students
Democratic Front (ABSDF) criticised the arrest and
demanded immediate release of Goldwyn. The British
national is a student of London School of Oriental and
African Studies, the sources added.  
 The Burmese students stationed here, in the meantime
gave a call for boycott of all State owned newspapers
saying that they carried reports degrading the pride
of the Burmese nation.  
 In this crucial juncture, prohibitory orders under
Section 144 CrPC were promulgated at Moreh, the
bordering town of Manipur with effect from September 8
evening in view of the observation of the 9999 by the
Burmese students. The pro-democracy activists of the
Myanmar, however, yesterday staged a mass protest
rally at Moreh as part of observing their Burmese
uprising movement without any disturbance. The
rallyist also shouted pro-democratic slogans during
the rally. They also distributed pamphlets and posters
to the inhabitants of the Moreh, in connection with
their pro-democracy movement. It is said the
prohibitory orders will remain enforced till 6 am of
September 10 next.
