</underline></bold>

When Daw Aung San Suu Kyi tried to attend the X mas and Karen new year
ceremony hold by Karen Christian association from Thamaing, Rangoon four
years ago, SLORC/SPDC blocked her car on the way and said it is not
appropiate for her to attend the meeting because it was a religious
ceremony not a political one. Karen leaders who invited her were
captured. 


Here is the news from OKKAR.  Why SPDC's Minister only has the right to
attend the similar meeeting? Think of yourself.  The truth is just- rule
never exist in Burma.
