The coup military junta in power since February 2021 in Burma has officially dissolved the National League for Democracy (NLD), the party of imprisoned democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
This was reported by the Burmese state media.
The "automatic dissolution as a political party" of the NLD - according to the broadcaster Mrtv - was communicated by the electoral committee with effect from today, on the basis of the new electoral law passed by the military junta.
Which last January, in view of possible elections promised and then postponed, gave political parties two months to register according to new rules, to which the NLD has not submitted.
According to the opposition, the elections promised by the regime will be neither free nor fair.
