NLD detainees denied defence

The Nation, December 3, 1997.

Rangoon - Eight jailed members of Burma's leading opposition party have
been denied the right to hire their defence, the National League for
Democracy (NLD) said yesterday.

The party members, arrested last month in connection with NLD leader Aung
San Suu Kyi's oganisational trips outside Rangoon, were not allowed to
defend themselves in hearing yesterday. Reuters
