the People's Parliament elected in the 1990 multi-party general
elections

Notification No 25
(4/99) (translation)
[Note -
Refer and read as a continuation of Notification 23 (4/99)] (It is not
available yet, DTS)
1. On
2.
Prior to receipt of this letter, the NLD had issued and published a statement
vehemently denouncing their members U Than Htoon (Dedaye), U Tin Tun Maung (Mingaladon)
and U Kyi Win (Mingaladon) because they had joined
with the Military Intelligence Services - a group that is completely opposed to
democracy and human rights - and was operating to split the NLD by conspiring
and resorting to every kind of evil and dishonest tactics and strategy.
3.
Appended to the said letter (mentioned in paragraph 1 above) was a list (3
pages) which was entitled " List of persons who
support and confirm the suggestions for the solving of NLD's political problems
as set out in the letter dated 18.4.99".
There were some signatures of People's Parliament members. The heading was type-written but the date
shown therein was hand written.
4. Our
information is that U Than Htoon,
U Tin Tun Maung and U Kyi Win were instrumental in obtaining some of the signatures
of the People's Parliament representatives. Most of the People's Parliament
members are incarcerated imprisoned or bound down and have no freedom of
movement. It is very
obvious
that the above three individuals must have been directed and assisted by the
Military Intelligence personnel in the relevant area.
5. More
significant (according to information received) is that the MIS made special
arrangements for U Than Tun and U Kyi Win to travel to
the towns of Prome, Myanaung,
Bassein and Myaungmya to
get the signatures of the People's Representatives. When they got to Myanaung to get the signatures of the NLD members of
parliament, Security did not grant permission at first. However, on production of visitation permits
they saw the members. This is evidence of the collusion between them and the
MIS.
6. It
has been revealed to the NLD head office by some of its representatives whom
they have been able to contact that the contents of the letter have been
changed. There are omissions and insertions of which
the
signatories are not aware. This is a misdemeanor for which the culprits should
be prosecuted and accordingly, suitable measures will be taken by the NLD.
7. The
activities associated with the said letter are measures to obstruct the
convening of a People's Parliament in accordance with the wishes of the people
which is what the National League for Democracy is striving for. Elected representatives of the People's
Parliament contested the elections implying that they would perform their
duties for the country through a People's Parliament. Therefore
putting their signatures to such a letter amounts to a breach of faith and
loyalty to the people who elected them.
