The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Democracy in Burma, chaired by Rushanara Ali MP, has raised concerns about the credibility of the upcoming elections.
The group’s statement says “The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Democracy in Burma is deeply concerned about the growing number of undemocratic practices in the run up to Burma’s general election being held on 8 November … We call on the British government to take direct action and stand up for the democratic rights of the people of Burma.”
