Suu Kyi office to reopen

Saturday 17 April 2004, 8:13 Makka Time, 5:13 GMT
Myanmar's military junta has allowed the opposition National League for
Democracy (NLD) to re-open its headquarters in the capital Yangon after a
year's closure.
NLD - the party led by Noble peace laureate and democracy campaigner Aug San
Suu Kyi who still remains under house arrest - had its offices closed last
year after a military crackdown.
"Officials informed us that we can re-open our headquarters effective this
morning," Than Tun, a member of the NLD's executive committee said on
Saturday.
Suu Kyi was detained and NLD offices shut on 30 May last year.
Pressure
The military authorities in Yangon has been under international pressure
since then to end the crackdown, release hundreds of political prisoners and
move towards democracy.
The military, which has ruled the country since 1962, announced a "road map
to democracy" last August, starting with fresh talks on a new constitution
due to begin on 17 May.
The NLD has refused to consider joining the talks until Suu Kyi and party
vice chairman Tin Oo are freed from house arrest.
Suu Kyi had led the NLD to a landslide victory in 1990 general elections,
but the military refused to hand over power and annulled the results.
