Phyo Phyo Aung is back in political work and is now heading up a student organization aiming to raise political awareness in Myanmar. She says she hopes that the reforms undertaken by the government will continue, but cautions that “there are many laws still in place that mean we could be arrested again for the same reasons as before.”
The regime hoped to persuade Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to allow the NLD to take part in the planned poll, in an effort to fool the international community into believing it was legitimate.
The NLD leader refused to meet two former National League for Democracy members who visited her prison before the party was dissolved.
The NLD says they supported graft claims against Aung San Suu Kyi and upcoming ‘sham’ elections.
The military has a long history of trying to create divisions within the National League for Democracy Party.
