GOOD MORNING MYANMAR…
December 15th, 2009
The leadership of Myanmar’s opposition political party, the National League for Democracy, is aging and the party leader has been granted permission by the State Peace And Development Committe (aka, Myanmar’s military dictators) to meet with three of her elders in the party leadership who are ailing.
From the Associated Press:
The meeting will take place Wednesday at a location chosen by the government, said [Aung San] Suu Kyi’s lawyer and spokesman Nyan Win, who with three other lawyers visited the Nobel peace laureate for two hours Tuesday at her lakeside house in Yangon where she is detained.
In a Nov. 11 letter to Senior Gen. Than Shwe, the head of the country’s junta, Suu Kyi sought permission to meet several elderly colleagues, and separately with other members of her party’s central executive committee. She also requested a meeting with the junta chief to discuss how they can cooperate for the national interest.
The government’s liaison with Suu Kyi, Relations Minister Aung Kyi, informed her that she will be allowed to meet the elderly party leaders, though not where she requested, at their homes, Nyan Win said. Police chief Brig. Gen. Khin Yi visited Suu Kyi and party Chairman Aung Shwe to make arrangements for the meeting, the spokesman added.
Suu Kyi will be allowed to meet party chairman Aung Shwe, 91, Secretary U Lwin, 86, who has a spinal problem, and Lun Tin, 88.
