Students join with an exile student group.

The political situation of Burma became tense than before in 1998. National
League for Democracy is a legal political party that won landslide victory
in 1990 election. Not only the regime could not implement the election
result, but they also have been attempted to fade out the result and its
democratic role. Though NLD demanded the regime to convene the parliament
in order to complement the election result that was the real desire of our
Burmese people, the regime ignored and violent suppressed any movement of
parliament-convening campaign. Also the student demonstrations for
supporting parliament-convening campaign of NLD party were crushed. Over
400 student activist and about 1500 NLD members were arrested and some were
sentenced to long term imprisonment. Most activists and student leaders
could able to escape and went underground. Some fled to the border.
