BANGKOK, April 27: Myanmar’s regime is moving to outlaw the political party headed by detained Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, experts said on Thursday.

The military said on Wednesday that it had been gathering evidence of the National League for Democracy’s links with ‘terrorist groups’, which analysts said was a warning that the junta could eventually move to ban the party.

“They are slowly building up any evidence they can find so that one day soon, boom, ‘based on this and this we have declared the NLD illegal’,” said political analyst Aung Naing Oo.—AFP
