Media Advisory: Press Briefing of Visit to Burma before the 2010 Elections

By The Hong Kong Coalition for a Free Burma • May 25, 2010

Press Briefing with Emily Lau, Hong Kong Legislator and Mabel Au, Spokesperson of HKCFB

The last national elections held in Burma were on 27th May 1990. The country’s military government has announced that 20 years later Burma’s citizens will once again have an opportunity to cast a ballot in national elections some time this year. However, the international community questions whether these elections will be free and fair.

In order to understand the situation, Mabel Au, co-convener of HKCFB, and Legislator Emily Lau visited Yangon last week. They met with four members of the central executive committee of the National League for Democracy (NLD), which won more than 80 percent of the seats in the last election, and learned about developments related to this year’s election. They will give a briefing on the meeting with the NLD members and introduce the Global Day of Action to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 1990 election on May 27.

Time: 12:00 p.m.

Date: May 26, 2010 (Wednesday)

Venue: Room 203, Duke of Windsor Social Service Building, 15 Hennessy Road, Wanchai
