Our briefing paper on the election is quoted in the Telegraph today:
“The UK Burma Campaign estimates that up to 10 million people – around 20 per cent of the country’s population – may be unable to go to the polls. The electoral commission has cited ethnic conflict as a reason to cancel the election in some areas, and the persecuted Rohingya Muslim minority of around one million people have been deliberately disenfranchised, but there could be many others, like those in Hine U, who are simply not on the list.”
