YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will help investigate charges of election fraud if and when she is released from house arrest on Saturday.
Nyan Win, a spokesman for her now-disbanded National League for Democracy party, said Wednesday the group has established a committee to investigate charges of fraud in last Sunday’s election, the country’s first in two decades.
The ruling military’s proxy party has said it won a sweeping victory, but critics accuse it of widespread vote-rigging.
An official who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the press, said although no official instructions have been made about her possible release, “necessary security preparations are being made on the ground.”
