NLD Statement 52 in English (r)
National League for Democracy
NO (97/B), West Shwegondine Road
Bahan, Rangoon
Statement No: 52 (3/99)
1. On 24 March 1999, headed by certain members of the local Peace and
Development Council, teachers (male and female) in the Bahan township,
went from house to house in the wards and asked for their household
lists.
2. When asked what was the purpose of this exercise, they said that as
per instruction from the higher authorities the purpose was for
assessing the educational and pecuniary condition prevailing in the
whole country. This would enable them to judge the amount to be given in
educational grants to students who do not have means to continue their
studies.
3. However, the inmates of the houses were not asked any questions
pertaining to matters of education or their finances. Only the names as
shown on the household list was recorded an underhand way of gleaning
certain information.
4. Also, the forms which this group had with them had no columns
earmarked for educational qualifications or financial status. All they
wanted was the names of inmates in each house.
5. Under the circumstances it must be presumed that the purpose of this
exercise is to facilitate their evil and deceitful preparations to
denounce the NLD People's Parliament representatives whom these simple
and innocent hard working people had elected of their own free will.
6. These exercises are wrong, deceitful and without lawful authority. We
strongly denounce and record our objections to this activity.
