The following statement was issued
today by the Spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres:
The
Secretary-General is deeply concerned by reports that the Union Election
Commission, appointed by the military in Myanmar, has dissolved
40 opposition parties, including the National League for Democracy (NLD)
led by State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Any attempts to undermine
democratic institutions and processes will only deepen the crisis and delay the
return to a fully democratic and inclusive Myanmar.
The Secretary-General renews his
call on neighbouring countries and other Member States to urge the military
leadership to adhere to inclusive political processes.
The Secretary-General reiterates
his call for the immediate release of all arbitrarily detained prisoners,
including President Win Myint and State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
