National League for Democracy disbanded in Myanmar
The Myanmar political party that was headed by Aung San Suu Kyi has now been made illegal.
The National League for Democracy will be disbanded on the 6th May because it refused to register for the upcoming election.
The party’s Central Executive Committee decided not to register because it wanted to make a protest against the exclusion of its leader who was expelled because of manufactured convictions.
Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under house arrest for fourteen years, was excluded by a law specifically meant to keep her out.
