Description:
"...The responsibility of elected representatives to the Hluttaw
(Parliament) is to assemble together and deliberate on state matters for
the welfare of the country but this Hluttaw did not materialise so these
representatives endeavoured to convene a Pyuthu Hluttaw (People's
parliament) as was their bounden duty. The only response by the "holders
of power", (the Military Intelligence units) was to illegally and
unjustly seize and incarcerate all NLD parliamentarians-elect, and
organising committee members of the NLD starting from the Central
Committee right down to the level of the wards and villages, and
ordinary members.
3. Instead of admitting their illegal and unjustifiable actions, these
"holders of power" are falsely, shamelessly and deliberately claiming
and broadcasting that discussions are being held with these persons
(whom they have incarcerated). "Discussion" is a word with a good
connotation suggesting future benefit. Nothing of the sort is happening.
4. The following questions and answers bear witness to the fact that no
such "discussions" have taken place. Referring to the interrogation as
discussions is a falsehood..."
