Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi offically barred from election vote

Burma’s detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is officially barred from voting in
elections due to take place in November.

Electoral rolls posted today left her name off the list of eligible voters.

Ahead of the Nov. 7 polls, the junta has enacted several laws that effectively banned the Nobel Peace Prize laureate from voting.

It comes as no surprise, the Executive Director of the Burma Campaign UK, Anna Roberts, told Vatican Radio adding that there is no way the elections will be “free and fair”.

She also said it won’t “bring the solutions of freedom and democracy that Burma’s people want.”
