Burma Elections Won't Be Fair: Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi says that what's happening in the run-up to Burma's latest attempt at elections has been "beyond what is acceptable," with "many, many cases of intimidation" by supporters of the ruling regime, reports Reuters. Suu Kyi accused government supporters of vandalizing opposition posters, influencing electoral registers, and at least two attempts at injuring opposition candidates by launching projectiles at them. "Still, we are determined to go forward because we think that is what our people want," she said of Sunday's elections.

Suu Kyi noted that free and fair results depended on more than just fairness on election day, but "on what went before that day." For more information on the elections and Suu Kyi's health problems, check out this story. (More Aung San Suu Kyi stories.)
