Yes, shame elections designed to placate the major economic powers in the world need rules. Rules which are so obtuse and draconian that any opposition party wish to contest the election must allow its self to be co-opted by the vary party they wish to succeed. Given those restrictions the National Democratic League didn't register to field candidates as required thereby allowing the Myanmar's military rulers to disband the party. As these men live in a heightened paranoia where Aung San Suu Kyi is concerned it was only a matter of time before this happneded.
The home affairs ministry wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize winner on Wednesday accusing her National League for Democracy (NLD) party of breaking the law by maintaining party offices, holding meetings and issuing statements, the New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported.
"If they really want to accept and practise democracy effectively, they are to stop such acts that can harm peace and stability and the rule of law as well as the unity among the people including monks and service personnel," it said.
Myanmar's state media further warned Suu Kyi that her plans to travel outside Yangon to meet supporters could trigger riots.
A commentary, published in all three state-run daily newspapers, appeared to reflect government anxiety over Suu Kyi's plans to travel to other areas of the country.
The state press serves as a mouthpiece for the government, which otherwise makes few public announcements.
No date has been announced for Suu Kyi's travel.
Myanmar Democracy in action quash all dissent and opposition political parties and call it a day.
